Bishop Doherty has posted a video on the diocesan website and noted that he will be celebrating Mass from Blessed Sacrament on Sundays at 8am with the Mass live-streamed for those who choose to refrain from attending a public Mass.

Please also consider making a Spiritual Communion during the Mass.  While this is not the same, God will provide you with grace through your desire to receive Jesus.

Dear Parishioners,
 
During this difficult time concerning the COVID-19 virus, I wanted to communicate with you our most recent updates for SLDM.  Our parish staff will be continuing to look at new ways to support your needs and continue to share the faith, so please stay tuned. 
 
In conjunction with recommendations from the CDC, the city of Fishers, and Bishop Doherty, the following directives are in effect at SLDM.

St. Louis de Montfort have been suspended or will be available online until further notice.

The Bishop is recommending that the faithful make an act of Spiritual Communion.                                                                                                                    As an example:  My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

• The priests will be saying private Masses which will include all the Mass intentions.
