St. Meinrad Parish will celebrate the feast day of its patron, St. Meinrad, on Sunday, January 21, 2024.
Mass will be celebrated at 8:30 a.m. Central Time, followed by a parish social and complimentary
breakfast in the St. Meinrad Community Center.
The parish was founded on January 21, 1861, the feast of the martyr St. Meinrad, a monk known for his extraordinary charity and hospitality in what is now known as Einsiedeln, Switzerland. January 21, 1861, was also the 1,000th anniversary of the death of the martyr Meinrad.
Eight days after the parish founding, the new German Catholic settlement was established as the town of St. Meinrad.
The feast day celebration will include other activities and door prizes sponsored by the parish Heritage Committee, chair Nancy Graman. For more information, call 812-357-5533 or www.smcatholic.church/celebrations.
