At St. Joseph University Parish, religious education is more than a calling it’s a lifelong journey.

Whether you're a young child learning about Jesus for the first time, a college student rediscovering your faith, or an adult preparing for a sacrament, there's a place for you here.

We serve a vibrant and diverse community, including families, lifelong Catholics, seekers, and students from Indiana State University, Rose-Hulman, Ivy Tech, and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College.

As a university parish, we are uniquely called to walk with people at every age and stage of faith.

​

Our formation programs include:

• 📘 Children’s Catechism (PreK–8th Grade) – Weekly classes to build a strong foundation in the Catholic faith

• ✝️ OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation for Adults) – For those exploring or preparing to convert to the Catholic faith

• 🧠 Adult Faith Formation – Bible studies and groups for growing deeper in understanding and faith

• 💍 Marriage Preparation – Personal, thoughtful guidance for couples preparing the sacrament of marriage

• 💧 Baptismal Preparation – Support for parents and adult catechumens preparing to receive new life in Christ

 

No matter where you are on your journey—from preschooler to professor—you are welcome here. Our mission is to help you grow in love, truth, and communion with God and one another.

✨ Faith is not a one-time event—it’s a lifelong invitation. Come grow with us.✨
