Prayer and Worship

One Family In Faith: A Parish of Spirited Worship & Loving Service

St. Boniface Parish and St. Meinrad Parish exist to nurture an intentional faith-filled Catholic Community that inspires and empowers all people to follow Jesus Christ. We will continue to "Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus" (Hebrews 12:2) by living the Word of God, celebrating the sacraments with meaningful worship, and calling one another to prayer, Christian service, and fellowship rooted in the living tradition of a rich German-Catholic heritage.

The sacraments the Church celebrates are signs of
grace that make a deeper reality present to us.
One reality we encounter through the sacraments
is Christ's presence in the Church community, his body. This recognition of Christ's presence in the community should lead to a stronger awareness of being sent on mission to engage in concrete, love-inspired action in the world.

"Dear brothers and sisters, being the Church, to be the People of God, in accordance with the Father's great design of love, means to be the leaven of God in this humanity of ours. It means to proclaim and to bring the God's salvation to this world of ours, so often led astray, in need of answers that give courage, hope and new vigor for the journey.... We must go out through these doors and proclaim the Gospel."
