Stained Glass Windows for New Church
Click here to view the stained glass windows.
These windows are currently in Holy Cross Church in Indianapolis. That parish has been closed and merged into St. Philip Neri Parish. We have a reached an agreement with them to purchase the windows and place them in our new church building. The cost of these windows is not included in the budget for the new church building and so some time later, parishioners will have an opportunity to donate toward these windows. The "In Memory portion" of the window could possibly be replaced at that time.

Feb - Speed Food Pantry - Residents in need from Sellersburg, Speed, Memphis and Borden are served. In addition to being given food from the shelves, the families receive vouchers for meat and dairy that can be used at JayC. The food pantry is located in the basement of Speed Memorial Church and is open every Tuesday from 11am – 1pm. It is run by volunteers who help unload trucks, sort and stock the shelves and work during distribution. In addition to receiving funds from the Outreach Collection, food is collected at the church on an ongoing basis.
