Saints to Live By
For many Catholics, Saints are viewed as being the heroes of the church. While they are not directly worshiped, Saints are held in such regard that Catholics will often pray to them in order to request their aid. With the exception of the archangels, Saints were ordinary people, who lived ordinary lives. During their lives, each and every saint was considered to be a positive role model. Their selfless and generous natures could be seen in their actions, and devotion to helping humanity.
Many Saints had a life mission that drove them towards helping others, while spreading the word of God. Through their actions and efforts, Saints were able to help humanity as a whole, in their own way. Their actions, made them legends of their own time, and today they inspire the way in which we live out our lives.
Stations of the Cross
Stations of the Cross, also called Way of the Cross, a series of 14 pictures or carvings portraying events in the Passion of Christ, from his condemnation by Pontius Pilate to his entombment.

Joy of the Gospel
Since his election, Pope Francis has been guiding and nudging our Church to rise up to meet the challenges of our era. The foundation of his vision can be found in his first encyclical, “The Joy of the Gospel”. Tom Bogenschutz has taught and lead several discussions on this document and recently produced this video that summarizes the Pope’s encyclical. It is 30 minutes in length and offers an overview of the Pope and his dream for the Church.

New Testament Bible Studies – New Testament Bible Studies are held in the Fall and Spring on Monday evenings from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm and take an in-depth look at a New Testament Gospel or New Testament Letter. Studies usually cost $10 and are from 6 to 14 weeks long with all materials provided.

The Strengths Journey
Do You Know Your Strengths?
God has packed us with many strengths and talents. Knowing your strengths is key to finding your purpose in life.
Join us on “The Strengths Journey” to find out how to use your strengths so you can begin to learn who you really are, why God put you here and how you can make a difference in this world.
When you register you will receive a book with a unique code to use to take the online StrengthsFinder® Assessment. When you take the assessment, you’ll learn your top five strengths.
In our five weekly sessions, we will focus on identifying your strengths & the strengths of others and using them to enhance your life.

Eucharist Renewal
The Diocese of Evansville has kicked off a Eucharistic Renewal in which our Parishes, Catholic Schools and Diocesan Offices will be participating! At the same time, all of the Catholic dioceses in the United States will be holding a Eucharistic Renewal (referred to as a “revival” on the national level). Eventually, the Renewal will culminate in a National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis from July 17–21, 2024.
Justice Pilgrimages
A pilgrimage can be a transformational inner journey, but we are also hoping to have a community impact as well. During our pilgrimages we will have opportunities to meet and develop relationships with others of faith who are interested in social justice.
Our goal is to gather a variety of people of all faiths from the Evansville area to travel together to deepen their knowledge of social justice issues.
Women’s Retreats
A Women’s Retreats are offered periodically, on a Saturday, usually during the Season of Lent. Women from the Parish gather for a day of fun, food, and fellowship as we prepare ourselves for Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent.
Watch the bulletin for the next Women’s Retreat registration information. Retreats are less than $30 per attendee with lunch and all materials provided. Registrations and fees are required in advance.
Justice Ministry

All Saints Parish offers a number of ways to serve those in our community who are disadvantaged or the victims of injustice.
Stewardship
Our Season of Stewardship
On an annual basis, we will invite you to renew your personal commitment to how you serve and support your parish.
