Holy Rosary Catholic Church Indianapolis

Holy Rosary Catholic Church Indianapolis Benvenuti—welcome to La Chiesa del Santo Rosario, Holy Rosary Parish! Our founding pastor, Msgr. It is a source of grace through the sacraments for all who come.

Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church - The Italian Parish of Indianapolis, sits just to the southeast of downtown Indianapolis -- and has since 1909 when it was founded as a home for the Italian Catholic community of the city. Founded in 1909 as a “national parish” to serve the city’s Italian immigrants, “the Italian Parish of Indianapolis” has no designated geographic boundaries. Mari

no Priori, wrote: “Venite, dopo una settimana di cure terrene…rigenerate il vostro spirito alle fonti della grazia.” Msgr. Priori invited all to come to Holy Rosary “after a week of earthly cares to regenerate one’s spirit at the sources of grace.” Today, as then, our Italian Parish serves the needs of people from all over the city and beyond. Holy Rosary is a very unique parish. Along with the very traditional and reverent celebration the Novus Ordo Missae in English — often celebrated “ad orientem,” Holy Rosary is also the home of the Traditional Latin Mass. But all who are registered parishioners at Holy Rosary, regardless of the Mass Form they might predominantly attend, are united into one parish. Both forms exist side by side, and this arrangement works very well. Many who might usually attend one form quite frequently attend the other. Just at the Church is One, so Holy Rosary Parish is one. Because Holy Rosary is not a “territorial” parish, one can become a parishioner regardless of where one lives. It is also possible to have dual membership, i.e., membership at Holy Rosary and membership at, for example, one’s hometown parish. Just as many come great distances once a year to attend our festival, many also come from great distances for a much better reason – the Mass, regardless of form. Holy Rosary is a vibrant parish with some 450 families. Yes, there are many organizations and activities, among them a terrific Knights of Columbus Council and a top-notch religious education program. But the most important things at Holy Rosary, those things around which everything else is in orbit, are Christ, the Mass and Our Blessed Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. In the words of one of our former pastors, Monsignor Joseph Schaedel, “Providence continues to bless and prosper Holy Rosary. To me and to all of us, that comes as no surprise. Of one thing I am convinced; of one thing I am certain: Providence never fails!”

Our friends Mission 27 Resale have mentioned needing some additional children's clothing, especially as we look to the colder months. If you're clearing closets over the long holiday weekend, please consider sharing the clothes your "littles" have outgrown so that another child can benefit from their warmth and wear—passed through our services desk at no cost, or through our resale shops whose proceeds support nutritious food options in our food pantries throughout Indianapolis and southern Indiana.

Donations can be dropped off at the dock of our Distribution Center, or dropped off in one of the blue bins located at nearly every parish in the Archdiocese. To find one near you, visit https://www.svdpindy.org/give/blue-bin-locator/

The first Catholic parish in the world founded under the patronage of Ghanaian martyr and saint Matthew Ayariga will open in Arlington, Texas, in January 2027.

Bishop Michael Olson of the Diocese of Fort Worth announced on Aug. 28 the opening of the church.

Ayariga was one of 21 Christian migrant workers in Libya kidnapped and then beheaded by the terrorist group ISIS on a beach near Sirte, Libya, on Feb. 15, 2015.

Originally from Ghana, Ayariga was the only Black African among the 21 men. The others were all Coptic Orthodox Christians from Egypt. When questioned about his faith by his kidnappers, he reportedly replied: “Their God is my God.”
