New grant application process to make more funds available to parishes
Starting next month, a new grant application process for parishes across central and southern Indiana will be launched. It will make funds available twice a year through the St. Francis Xavier Home Mission Endowment Fund and the Growth and Expansion Endowment Fund. Additionally, new grants will also be made from the James P. Scott Endowment Fund. Grants from both funds will be distributed in the spring and fall. (Page 3)

Perry County parish celebrates 175 years of faith
LEOPOLD—Members of St. Augustine Parish in Leopold celebrated the 175th anniversary of their Perry County faith community on Sept. 16 with a special Mass followed by a dinner and displays of historic photographs. The parish, founded in 1837, is five years older than the town. The parish was established when Father Julian Benoit built a log church and called it “The Chapel.” He was succeeded in 1840 by Father Auguste Bessonies, who then founded the town in 1842 with funds provided by Bishop Simon Bruté of Vincennes. The present stone church was completed in 1872. (Page 11)
