Phases of Reopening

The phased reopening of St. Paul Catholic Center has begun.
​Those who are 65 and over and those with high-risk health conditions are strongly encouraged to remain at home. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass applies to all of the faithful in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis until August 15, 2020.

• The Church will be open from 8:30am-8:30pm.
• Confessions will be heard from 6:30-8:30 pm, Monday-Thursday and by appointment.
• Please enter through the main doors to the Gathering Space only.
• Face coverings and social distancing are required in the building.
• Building capacity will be limited to 25 people until further notice.

During Phase II (May 27-June 6), St. Paul's will open for Public celebrations of Weekday Masses, Weddings and Funerals within Mass, Infant Baptisms, postponed Memorial Masses for those who have died, and the Anointing of the Sick.

• Phase I protocols for social distancing, hygiene, and face coverings remain in effect
• To attend daily Mass, please go to Sign up to Attend Mass.

Volunteers Needed

​In order to reopen for the public celebration of Sunday Masses, we are in great need of volunteers to serve as ushers at Masses. Ushers will help check people in, encourage and ensure social distancing and face covering, and help to disinfect the Church after Mass. Ushers must be younger than 65 and not have any underlying health conditions which would make them high-risk to COVID-19. Please email Fr. Patrick if you would like to volunteer.
