General Announcements 

St. Malachy Parish in Brownsburg will hold Bible marathon starting on March 10

A Bible marathon called “The Word Became Flesh”—the proclamation of Scripture from Genesis through Revelation—with the constant presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, will take place at St. Malachy Church, 9833 E. County Road 750 N., in Brownsburg, starting after 10:30 a.m. Mass on March 10.

The event will begin with a eucharistic procession (outdoor or indoor, depending on weather) after the 10:30 a.m. Mass.

The Bible will then be proclaimed from cover to cover in the church, with the constant presence of the Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance on the altar for adoration.

“The hope is for people to encounter Christ truly present in the Eucharist and in the living word of God,” says Nathanael Rea, the parish’s director of faith formation and evangelization.

“It’s also an opportunity for people to come experience the eucharistic Lord even if they’re not Catholic. We hope they’ll hear about the Bible marathon and say, ‘Hey, I believe in the Bible!’ So they might come and encounter Christ not just in Scripture but in the Blessed Sacrament.”

With volunteers reading aloud for 30-minute shifts, the end time of the Bible marathon is uncertain, possibly lasting through the morning of

March 13, including breaks for regularly scheduled Masses.

All are invited, regardless of faith.

The event can also be viewed live online at tinyurl.com/2024BibleMarathon.

To sign up for an hour of adoration during the event, go to tinyurl.com/BibleMarathonAdoration.

To sign up to read for a 30-minute slot, go to tinyurl.com/BibleMarathonReader.

For more information or to see if the Bible marathon is still in progress, contact the parish office at 317-852-3195.

Disabilities ministry in need of ASL Interpreters for Catholic Masses and events

The Disabilities Ministry of the archdiocesan Office of Catechesis is in need of American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters for special Masses and events.

The Indianapolis-based ministry serves special needs adults and children throughout the archdiocese’s 126 parishes by offering events, instruction materials and support.

ASL interpreters are needed to aid individuals at confirmations, Rites of Election and parish Masses. Interpreters will be paid an hourly stipend.

It is preferred that interpreters be Catholic, but those who have a strong familiarity with the Catholic Mass and other liturgical rites are encouraged to apply. It is also preferred that interpreters have an Indiana Interpreting Certificate, though allowances can be made depending on experience.

For more information, contact Jenny Bryans, Disabilities Ministry Coordinator, at jbryans@archindy.org or 317-236-1448.
