Archindy Summer Programs for Youth and Families
As the school year and parish religious education programs pause for summer, families and individuals are invited to continue growing in faith through simple, everyday moments—and by taking part in faith-filled summer opportunities across central and southern Indiana. Below you’ll find a collection of fun, spiritually enriching programs offered by archdiocesan and Catholic organizations.
Know of a Catholic summer faith formation opportunity open to parishioners throughout the archdiocese that isn’t listed? Please email contact@archindy.org—we’d love to include it.
You can also listen to a recent ArchIndy Vox podcast exploring how faith can flourish through everyday practices and highlighting several of the summer programs featured below.
