Anointing of the Sick
Any baptized Catholic who has reached the age of reason (usually around seven years old) can receive this sacrament if he or she is gravely ill and in danger of death. Many Catholics also request the Anointing of the Sick before major surgery. Elderly Catholics who are experiencing the frailty and health challenges of old age are also welcome to receive the Anointing. The sacrament may be received more than once, even during the same illness if it progresses in seriousness.
Contact the parish office at 812-339-5561 to schedule a visit for the Anointing of the Sick. Ongoing visits to care centers or the home bound can also be arranged. To learn more about Anointing of the Sick from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, click here.
Marriage
There are a number of programs available to couples contemplating matrimony. Marriage is a Sacrament, a unique vocation in the Church, and a public witness of Christian commitment and love. The St. Paul preparation program is a blend of the sacred and the practical aspects of marriage. Contact the parish office at 812-339-5561 to pick up a marriage preparation booklet and to make arrangements.
Engaged couples must complete one of the Pre-Cana courses available through the Archdiocese or the MR & MRS program offered through St. Paul Catholic Center. Both programs cover Marriage as a Sacrament, finances, families of origin, communication, and Natural Family Planning. Pre-Cana courses are offered multiple times throughout the year. The MR & MRS program is offered once a year (usually in April).

Every Thursday night during the school year from 7:45-8:45 pm, intercessory prayer teams are available in the church to pray with you and for you and your needs.
Intercessory prayer is a blessing and a call to faith. When we pray a prayer of intercession, we are uniting our love with God’s love and asking that whom or what we are praying for may also enter into that same love relationship. Part of the gift of intercessory prayer is that it moves us from focus on ourselves to focus on God and on others. It draws us into selflessness and out of selfishness.
"Intercession is a prayer of petition which leads us to pray as Jesus did. He is the one intercessor with the Father on behalf of all men, especially sinners. He is "able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. The Holy Spirit 'himself intercedes for us . . . and intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.'" ~ CCC 2634
