General Announcements

Saint Meinrad Archabbey Library Gallery hosts exhibit of icons through June 23

Saint Meinrad Archabbey Library Gallery, 200 Hill Drive, in St. Meinrad will host an exhibit of icons through June 23.

The tradition of icon painting is still vibrant. An essential element within the architecture of the Eastern Orthodox Church, icons depict a world of saints, biblical narratives, the Virgin and Christ.

This exhibit showcases the work of four contemporary icon painters working in a variety of media, including egg tempera on board enhanced with gold leaf by Benedictine Sister Jeana Visel and Jennie Gelles; painting on glass by Sharon Gill Kolasinski; and acrylic painting by Passionist Brother Michael Moran.

The exhibit is free and open to the public. Those wishing to view the exhibit may want to arrive at least 30 minutes before closing time.

For library hours, call 812-357-6401 or 800-987-7311, or log on to the Archabbey Library’s website at www.saintmeinrad.edu/library/hours.

Catholic Charismatic Renewal group meets Tuesday evenings in Indianapolis

Catholic Charismatic Renewal of Central Indiana meets at St. Lawrence Parish, 6944 E 46th St., in Indianapolis for prayer meetings each Tuesday from 7-8:30 p.m. in the chapel and the social room, and for praise and Mass on the first Friday of each month at 7 p.m.

The group, which is in liaison with the archdiocese, involves Catholics who believe in a renewal of the Holy Spirit’s gifts received in the sacraments of baptism and confirmation. The gifts, also called charisms, include wisdom, knowledge, faith, prophesy, tongues, interpretation and healing.

The first Friday Mass involves praise and worship at 7 p.m., followed by Mass at 7:30 p.m. At the conclusion of Mass, prayer teams are available to pray for and over individuals.

The weekly prayer meetings begin at 7 p.m. with joyful songs and Scripture, and extemporaneous prayers which rise and fall from joyful to gentle. Members listen for a prophetic word from the Lord, and then discuss what they believe they heard.

On the second Tuesday of each month, a healing service is held. The remaining Tuesday evenings involve a short teaching with discussion.

The Catholic Charismatic Renewal began in 1967 when students and university professors from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pa., gathered for a retreat weekend.

As of 2013, the movement existed in more than 230 countries and was acknowledged by Pope Paul VI, St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI.

For more information, contact Benedictine Sister Cathy Anne Lepore at srcalep@yahoo.com.
