Elderly/Sick Parishioners, Do You Need Help with Outdoor Yardwork or Projects?
St. Susanna member, if you are elderly or sick and need help with lawn work, gardening, or outdoor projects, youth and adults/families from St. Susanna will volunteer to help you with this service. Please fill out the ‘Outdoor Work Request Form.' Please be patient and know that we will work to ensure this request is answered and fulfilled as quickly as possible. Requests must be made at least two weeks ahead of time so we have adequate time to address the need and find volunteers available to help.

Please fill out the 'Volunteer Sign-up' form, and we will contact you when we have projects that need to be done!
We are asking that at least two adults be willing to volunteer with the middle or high school youth for the safety of the youth. Multiple families can help with the same project. Thank you so much for being willing to help those in need from our community! |
Concerning the Coronavirus, COVID-19
The five Catholic bishops of Indiana have extended the dispensation for the obligation to attend the public celebration of Mass on Sundays to all the faithful until further notice.
“While commending our pastors and pastoral life coordinators who have gone to great lengths to assure safe worship spaces in our churches, given the continued increase of COVID-19 cases in our state, the Indiana bishops hereby extend the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation beyond Nov.1, 2020, until further notice. The Indiana bishops will continue to monitor the situation to determine when it might be advisable to modify or lift the dispensation,” said an Oct. 19 statement of the bishops from the Province of Indianapolis, which includes the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the Dioceses of Gary, Evansville, Fort Wayne-South Bend and Lafayette.

Health Practices For and During Mass
Know that once we are open for public Mass, parishioner are encouraged to adhere to the best health practices to protect their households and families. The dispensation from the obligation to participate at Mass on Sundays is extended in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis until further notice.
- Those who are 65 and over and those with high-risk health conditions should remain home.
- Clean hands thoroughly before coming to Mass
- Pews will be filled keeping and empty pew row between filled pews. A 'filled pew' must meet social distancing guidelines of 6 feet between households.
- If possible, bring your own personal hand sanitizer for use during Mass, especially before and after Holy Communion.
- Facial masks are required during Mass. Eucharistic Ministers will be asked to wear masks during distribution of Holy Communion.
- Saint Susanna Maintenance employees will clean and sanitize pews and restrooms between services.
- Those concerned about receiving Holy Communion are not obligated to do so, and can choose not to receive until they are more comfortable.
- Holy Communion from the chalice for the faithful remains suspended until further notice.
- Receiving Holy Communion in the hand is encouraged during this time (as opposed to receiving on the tongue).
