Building a New Church with Living Stones

Holy Angels Catholic Church has begun its long awaited campaign to replace its church building at 28th and Martin Luther King Streets in Indianapolis. The campaign is entitled “Building the Church with Living Stones,” and began at the parish’s feast day celebration on October 5, 2014.

We are working with consultant Dr. Herman Norman, of Generis Church Fundraising Consultants, who supported our campaign to build Holy Angels Catholic School in the 1990s. The internal component commenced pledging and giving in January, 2015, and is expected to last 3 years.

On MLK Sunday, January 17, 2016, Holy Angels parish gathered to celebrate our spiritual and financial progress toward building a new Holy Angels Catholic Church to serve the area surrounding the MLK Corridor on the
near Northwest side of Indianapolis.

Now that we have established a strong foundation of parish giving, external fundraising is ramping up, under the guidance of Parish Administration.

You can find periodic updates on our financial progress in the latest issue of the ParishBulletin.

Archbishop Tobin directed Holy Angels Parish to build a modest new worship structure at the site of our former church building at 28th and Martin Luther King Jr. Streets.

to continue and expand our role of serving the near Northwest part of Indianapolis, as part of the greater Catholic Church.

As of the First Anniversary of First Fruits, the Celebration held on MLK Sunday, January 2016, there were several floorplan concepts under consideration, each attempting to incorporate current Catholic liturgical guidelines and an optimal seating capacity into the existing building space. At the same time, a couple of external designs – not quite ready for publication – were being developed. At this time, designs are centering around a roughly square floor plan with one or more major entrances at a building corner along MLK and/or along the street side, and a “fan type” seating arrangement facing the altar in one corner.

Updates on architectural progress will be coming soon.
