Evangelization 101

This summer, I spent time with my sister’s

family on the east coast. Now, like some of

you, my sister’s children are not practicing

their faith. While there, I talked to my great

-niece, who will be going to an all-girls

Catholic school this year. She herself was

not baptized, so I asked her why she chose

to go to a Catholic girls’ school.

First, she said it had a good academic reputation. I said, “Well, there are a

lot of private schools that have good academic reputations. Why a Catholic

school?” Then the surprise – she said, “I want to know about the Catholic

Church - why you and my grandparents believe.”

Needless to say, I had a good conversation with her. I have thought about

them since I’ve been back, thinking and thanking God that I asked the

question. I will be praying for her and hoping to have other great conversa-

tions about Christ and the Church.

You just don’t know until you ask the “faith question” what can happen.

So, think about your own families and ask or share your faith with them.

The opportunities are there only if we are willing to step out and share our

faith.

P e r s o n n e l A n n o u n c e m e n t

New High School Youth Minister

My name is David Neeson, and I’m originally from West

Terre Haute, IN. I graduated college from the University

of Dayton in Ohio, and had spent some time living in

Ohio (Sandusky & Dayton), Honolulu, Hawaii, and Min-

neapolis, Minnesota before settling down in Louisville,

Kentucky for the past 9 years with my wife, Crista.

It’s been an amazing journey, and while it’s true I never

imagined working for the church, I cannot be more

blessed for the opportunities to do so. Over the past 8 ½

years, I’ve had the absolute pleasure to serve two Catho-

lic communities as their Coordinator of Youth Ministry.

The churches of St. Paul and Incarnation have seen my family grow from just Crista and myself to having our

3 beautiful children; Kyle (7), Kenli (5), and Bryce (3). My hobbies are mainly sports induced when I’m not

spending time with my family or working with our youth group.

I’ve never let my love for sports go, and have used that passion to grow a much needed ministry in the Nation-

al Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) by serving on their Executive Team with National CYO

Sports as well as cultivating relationships with the NFCYM and Catholic Athletes for Christ, along with sever-

al other sports ministries around the country. I hope to continue to connect athletics (especially professional

athletics), and those who look up to that platform, to a faith that I have grown to love. Over the past 5 years

I’ve attended the NFL combine up in Indy as a credentialed member of the Seahawks, and I hope to bring the

relationships I’ve gained through those weeks up to our program at the parish to allow our youth a chance to

speak to NFL coaches who are very dedicated to their faith.

I’m incredibly excited to serving the amazing community of St. Louis de Montfort as the Coordinator for High

School Ministry. I’m eager to work with the amazing team that has been assembled before me, and help grow

our young church with dynamic experiences, retreats, meetings, trips, and more.

While I look forward to sharing my journey with all those interested, I’m

more excited to hear from you. You might introduce yourself to me repeat-

edly, as names will be tough to remember for this first year, and I’ll apolo-

gize for that now, but you have my promise that I’ll work my hardest to get

to know each of you individually as we work together to serve our church.

Please pray for me and my family as we’ll be leaving what we know and

love. This will be a hard transition for me personally, leaving all those I

have gained personal and professional relationships with, but my focus will

be on giving this ministry everything I can. I will work tirelessly to build

up an already great program, and I look forward to resettling my family in

the beautiful community of Fishers.

I appreciate the chance to work with each of you, and I’m thankful for your

continued prayers!

God Bless,

-Dave Neeson

Are you interested in becoming Catholic?

Do you know someone who is?

What is RCIA?

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the Catholic Church’s process for welcoming adults into

the Roman Catholic Church and forming new disciples of Jesus Christ. RCIA is based on Word and Tradition,

Community and Parish Life, Prayer and Worship, and an Apostolic Lifestyle.

Participating in RCIA is much more than going to classes on Catholicism. It’s undergoing a conversion to a

new way of life in Christ. Sessions typically include prayer, instruction on some aspect of the Catholic faith,

and small group discussion time.

Is RCIA for me?

RCIA welcomes

• Those who have never been baptized.

• Those baptized in another Christian faith tradition who may be interested in joining the Catholic Church.

• Catholics who were baptized but never catechized.

Anyone who just wants to learn more about the Catholic faith and tradition.

Just come to RCIA and see what the Catholic Church is all about. You’ll meet friendly people, you’ll learn a

lot, and you’ll deepen your faith—guaranteed!

*Contact Sandy Schrader to register at (317) 842-6778 ext 240 or sschrader@sldmfishers.org

We need RCIA Sponsors Are you interested in being a companion for someone on their journey? You must

be a practicing Catholic, age 18 or older, who is willing to be present to someone in RCIA. Please contact

Sandy Schrader for more information about what is required.

RCIA Orientation is Tuesday, August 29th

August 2017 SLDM School News

New School Staff Members

This year our school family welcomed three new members. We’re excited about the gifts each of them brings

to us and we know their contributions to our school will be a great blessing!

• Kathleen Wannemuehler is our new Kindergarten teacher and our first SLDM graduate to come back to

teach here. She graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Educa-

tion and Exemplary Needs in the spring of 2017. She is dual licensed as both an early childhood educator

(birth to 3rd Grade) and a special needs educator. Kathleen enjoys spending time with her family - parents

Mireille and Greg, two sisters Eleanor and Victoria, and their lovely, giant golden retriever named Lucy –

trying new things, cooking, traveling to new places, working on creative projects. This year, Kathleen

wants to focus on growing in her vocation. She believes God has called her to work as a teacher and has

called her in a special way back to her home parish.

• Erin Spencer is our new part-time Library teacher. She graduated from Ball State University with a Bache-

lor of Science degree in Elementary Education, a Master’s degree in Elementary Education, and a certifi-

cate in Early Childhood Administration. Erin taught kindergarten/first grade for almost 5 years prior to

staying home to raise her children. She and her husband, Andy, have been married for 13 years and they

have four amazing children - Luke (11), Camille (9), Colette (6), and Blaire (4) – and a Brittany spaniel

named Murphy. In her free time, Erin enjoys reading, watching her kids play sports, and creating memo-

ries with her family. Her goal for this year is to instill a love of reading in the hearts of her students!

• Erika Rowe is our new part-time school secretary. She graduated in 1998 with a Bachelor's degree in Hos-

pitality Management from the school of RHIT (Restaurant, Hotel, Institutional, and Tourism Management)

at Purdue University/IUPUI and received additional certifications in meetings management and travel &

tourism. In her free time, Erika loves watching her kids play sports and supporting them in their activities.

Erika also enjoys family vacations, adult nights out, boating, and reading. She and her husband Stacey

have been married for 17 years and they have two children: Avery is a freshman at Cathedral High School

and a member of the JV soccer team and Austin is a 6th grader at SLDM and plays football and basket-

ball. Their "third child" is a 7 year-old Shih Tzu named Rocco. Erika is excited to be in the front office,

and she looks forward to working with the wonderful staff at SLDM. Her goal for the year is to learn great

things from Heidi Clarke and make Teri Johnson proud!

We hope you’ll join us in welcoming all of these wonderful new staff members to SLDM!

Theme for Our New School Year

Our “Virtue’s in Practice” theme for the year is Study - devote time and attention to acquiring knowledge

through a detailed investigation and analysis. This school year we will study the following virtues: hope, stu-

diousness, humility, patience, fidelity, cheerfulness, temperance, obedience, and diligence.

I am hopeful that through study of the above virtues and through all we do each day as a school, we will help

your parents lead each of you to be Disciples of Christ.

A definition of disciple is suggested by Jesus' words in the Gospel of John 13:34-35: He says, "I give you

a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." (NRSV) Being a dis-

ciple means to be a person of love for all peoples.

A disciple is different from an apostle. An apostle is a messenger, while a disciple is one who learns from a

teacher. An apostle is one sent to deliver those teachings. Before one can be an apostle, they must first be a

disciple. That is my hope for each of you. That you will be Christ’s disciples.

As outlined in Philippians Chapter 4 (NRSV), the rewards for being a proud Catholic disciple of Christ are

many. “…And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your

minds in Christ Jesus” and the “…God of peace will be with you”. There is nothing more valuable to our

lives than sharing in the peace of God through Christ. That is our goal through being disciples.

I have found these three questions to be invaluable in every area of my life where I have struggled with being a

disciple of Christ. If you ask yourself these three questions and answer yes to them, you will find that being a

disciple becomes a lot easier.

1. Do you believe that God and His Son Jesus Christ knows what will make you happy better than you do?

2. Do you believe that God and His Son Jesus Christ wants you to be happy more than you do?

Can you put your life and your will fully in the hands of God and His Son Jesus Christ?

We must be Disciples of Christ first then all other good things will follow. Conversely, if we are not Disciples

of Christ we can never know true peace. Discipleship is like a swimming pool where you can learn how to

swim. Once you have learned, all the oceans are yours.

Let us work together this school year to be Disciples of Christ!

High School Retreat:

Missionary Discipleship

Institute

This summer we sent a couple of SLDM stu-dents to a Catholic conference called Mission-ary Discipleship Institute. The objective of this summer conference was to deepen the faith of the students, but also equip them with key tools and ideas to share then back in their home par-ishes. It is great joy and gift to have students from our parish participating on this week long conference, and we are excited to see their faith continue to blossom as they share the Good News with those around them. - Reid Leazier

Missionary Disciples Institute Experience

By Sarah Hagen

My experience at the first ever Missionary Disciples Institute was unforgettable. There was never a moment wasted. We went to mass daily and were given ample opportunities for prayer in the morning, evening, and at night. All participants were split up into one of 5 tracks, Kerygma (proclaim), Koinonia (partner), Didache (teach), Diakonia (serve), and Leitourgia (pray). Each track is designed to focus on how to minister to people through the Church while concentrating on your strengths. I was placed in the Koinonia track.

The week was set up so that from Monday-Tuesday we learned about our ministry, Wednesday we saw our ministry, Thursday we did ministry, and Friday-Saturday we’d “be ministry” through our mission plans. The goal was to have this idea for a mission plan at the end of the week. I ended up meeting a girl who’s also from Fishers and we decided to make our mission plan together, in the spirit of Koinonia. Our mission plan is to make a bible study for high schoolers from Hamilton Southeastern High School as well as Fishers High School. Neither of us remembers how we came up with this idea or who said it first. It must’ve been the Holy Spirit.

The day that stuck out to me the most was Thursday. Each track had a different immersion experience. My track went to a place called the Un-leavened Bread Café. The Unleavened Bread Café hires people, mostly women, who are coming out of jail. This ministry was made to give peo-ple hope that they can get their lives back on track and in doing so helps them put one foot forward.

I knew there was something special about the Unleavened Bread Café the minute I walked in. We were immediately greeted by three of the most joyful and faithful women I’ve ever met. They shared their testimo-nies while we waited for our lunch. It was like having a family meal. We pushed a bunch of tables together and sat in a big circle. I should proba-bly add that they made me the best grilled cheese I’ve ever had.

After we ate, we went outside to the community garden next door to the café and beautified it by planting various types of flowers and picking out weeds. Even in the smoldering summer sun, everyone worked with smiles on their faces, freed from complaints. Cheeriness was just pouring out of the place. The whole time I was there, the founder, Elease Wom-

13

ack, hugged me twice, took some of our prayer re-quests, and gave me her business card.

On the last night, I remember wandering around cam-pus with a few other participants. I wanted to really take in everything Marian had to offer, like the shrines of Mary and of St. Clare, the rosary walk, the Allison Mansion, the St. Francis Colonnade that overlooks the Ecolab, and my favorite, the Oriental Garden. We had done this most days, but knowing it’d be the last time, there was a somber feel to it. No one wanted to leave. I was fixed on getting the most out of this last night that I possibly could. To achieve this, one of my roommates and I stayed downstairs in the lobby of our dorm until close to 1 o’clock in the morning. We knew the sooner we fell asleep, the sooner it’d be time to go home. Sad to say, but that night did come and go.

When we finally made it to the commissioning ceremony, we all got certificates that stated our completion of the Missionary Disciples Institute of 2017. Our names were read one-by-one and we walked up to the front of the chapel to accept them. The Marian University student announcing names was choking up with tears as he read the names of students he watched grow in faith over the week. Although it was hard to pull myself away from that experience, I know it wasn’t an ending, but a beginning. Out of everything I learned at MDI, what I’ll cherish most is the community there that welcomed us, inspired us, encouraged us, and continues to do so.

My Experience as a Missionary Disciple

By Maddie Buckner

When I first arrived at Marian University for the Missionary Disciples Institute, I was a huge ball of mixed emotions. I was excited, nervous, and anxious all at the same time. I knew for a fact that I was going to get lost being on a college campus for a week (which ended up happening many times). I was afraid I wasn’t go-ing to make any friends because I only knew one other person that was attending this institute. What I thought this experience would be is completely different than what the outcome was.

I expected MDI to be just like a normal retreat where I would become really close with others in a week, then never talk to them again. I thought that I would come back with a Jesus high that would slowly fade over a week or so. I thought that I would hear the same “take this back to your community” that everyone hears, but not have the resources to do anything with that advice. What I experienced was so much different. To this day, all 35 of us that attended MDI are still in contact with one another in a group chat, and we are even having a reunion very soon. I did come back with a Jesus high, but it never exactly went away. We all made mission plans and said what we were going to be doing back in our own communities, and we all hold each other ac-countable for our mission plans, and it is truly amazing to see what great leaders everyone is becoming.

The first day at Marian was like jumping straight in the water. Right away, we went to our first of many key-notes, which was amazing. Right after the opening keynote, we had our first track meeting. There were five different tracks that we could have been in- Kerygma (Proclaim), Koinonia (Partner), Diakonia (Serve), Leito-urgia (Pray), and Didache (Teach). I was a part of the Kerygma track, where we learned about how Peter pro-claimed the Gospel and did lots of Lectio Divina to see what we could take from Acts of the Apostles to incor-porate into our own lives. Afterwards, we had a big cookout in the amphitheater, and right away, we all con-nected with each other. The San Damiano Scholars that were our mentors for the week were so easy to talk to, and they provided us with so much great information.

One thing that I enjoyed the most from that week was our theological reflection groups. We would discuss the events of the day and connect that to what we thought God was trying to tell us. Our group got really close

14

and we had so many great conversations. Although this was great, I would have to say that the best bonding experience from the whole week were our break times and free times. Often times, you could see almost all of us sitting by the fountain just talking and growing closer to one another. Two or three friends and I would of-ten go to the shrine of St. Clare or the rosary walk to pray or journal. One day, a big group of us went to the eco lab and saw some outdoor classrooms, and that was a great way to bond over trying not to slip and fall on the rocks.

On the third day, we took a pilgrimage to Oldenburg. We visited the sisters at their motherhouse and had lunch and mass with them and heard some of their amazing stories. On the fourth day were our immersion ex-periences. For the Kerygma track, we led a junior high retreat at St. Gabriel parish. It was amazing to see a switch suddenly turn on when something we said finally clicked in the students when we were sharing ways that God has spoken to us in our lives. I can say confidently that all of the junior high students in my small group have bright futures ahead of them.

That night, all of the girls and some of the guys decided that we should have an impromptu prayer in a com-mon room at about 11:30 at night. I can definitely say that it was one of my favorite prayer sessions that I’ve ever taken part in. What made it better was that we were all worn out from our Yats dinner and intense capture the flag game at White River State Park that we had just gotten back from. While we were there, I got a text that said I was going to be leaving MDI early. I was devastated and said that it was the best week of my life and begged to stay. Immediately when we got back to campus, two friends and I went to Mary and prayed for her intercession to answer our prayer for me to be able to stay. Literally 15 seconds after this, I received a text that said I would be able to stay for the rest of the week. I went and told one of the San Damiano scholars about it, and she said “Watch out. Once Mary does one thing for you, she’ll keep trying to get closer to you.” I sure hope that’s true as my life goes on.

On the last night, the Leitourgia track led a TAIZE prayer service which was really cool and extremely crea-tive. After that, we went to Eucharistic Adoration, and a bunch of the girls sat on the floor together and it was so powerful. Breakfast the next morning was oddly quiet. No one wanted to leave. We had all gotten so close and had fallen in love with the community of everyone together and the campus of Marian. After the commis-sioning service was over, we said our goodbyes, but luckily, they weren’t for very long. They would only be for a few months until our reunion in September.

As I think back on this amazing experience, I remember telling myself at the end of the week that it wasn’t like any other retreat I had ever been on, it was instead “real life.” Through my mission plan, I became prepared to be a leader in my community and to share the love of Christ that I experienced through each and every mis-sionary disciple, through each and every MU mentor (San Damiano Scholar), through every MU alumna that helped in our tracks, and through every MU professor that led our tracks to each and every person that I meet.

Why Men’s Ministry?

Men today more than ever, are experiencing a great hunger for

God as we live in a society that claims little if any moral compass

and objective truth. Men lead families and families produce children

who become future leaders and heads of families. That is why

men’s ministry is so vital and needed. Men need a solid formation

in their Catholic faith. Our men’s ministry examines the teachings

of the Church.

We are blessed here at St. Louis de Montfort to begin our 9th year of Men’s Ministry. Some men

have been involved from the beginning, and many have joined as the years have passed. The men’s

leadership has focused on families with the Father’s Ministry which is all about growing positively in

our relationships with God, our wives and children, and even ourselves! We have also brought the se-

ries, That Man is you to our parish.

We live in a complicated world that provides continuous distractions. All of us must make time to

come together to learn about our faith and pray together in an intentional and regular way. We can

then go back to our families and the world in a spirit of evangelization, each of us doing our part in

fulfilling the Great Commission by planting seeds of faith on the paths of our daily lives. As we are

all faced with challenges both materially and spiritually, we can help each other through our prayers

and availability to talk about the tough issues facing our families and the Church in these times.

Jesus tells us to seek, ask and knock! What better way to do this than meeting regularly with other

men who are husbands, fathers and neighbors?

I hope you will join us on Friday mornings at 6:00 a.m. beginning September 22, 2017. We will

meet each Friday that school is in session. Good for the family, good for the soul, good for the parish!

Sectatores Christi is a Catholic bible study for high school students in the Hamilton County area.

It is being lead by Vi Nguyen (Holy Spirit at Geist Parish) and Sarah Hagen (St. Louis de Montfort

Parish). The Latin words "Sectatores Christi" mean "Followers of Christ." We hope throughout our

meetings that, as a group, we can grow in faith and understanding of Christ's message in scripture and

His purpose for our lives. We plan on raising money for a charitable cause, bible journaling, reflecting

on bible passages according to their intended meaning, and learning about the Franciscan values

found in the life of Jesus and many of the saints. Please email sectatoreschristi@gmail.com if you

plan on coming to the call-out meeting on September 30th!
