Ablaze Mission is a Catholic apostolate that evangelizes young adults and forms them into missionary disciples who evangelize their peers and society. We are a community of men and women, ages 18 through our 20s and 30s, from various walks of life. We are business professionals, trade workers, schools teachers, graduate students, and many others. What unites us together is our desire to grow spiritually and seek God’s activity in our lives.

The Benedictine Oblate Community of St. Meinrad Archabbey are Christians living outside of the monastery.  We bear witness to the peace, that the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Holy Rule of our Holy Father Saint Benedict have brought into our lives and the world. We embrace the values taught in the Holy Rule of Saint Benedict, according to our station in life: stability of heart, fidelity to the spirit of the monastic life and obedience to the will of God. The Community meets on the third Monday of each month at St. Bavo’s Parish Community Center in Mishawaka.

Catholic in Recovery is a nonprofit organization that seeks to serve those suffering from addictions and unhealthy attachments (including alcoholism, drug addiction, pornography addiction, sex and relationship addiction, compulsive overeating and food addictions, gambling addiction, codependency and the impact on family, general fear, control, and anxiety). The organization began with the passion of Scott Weeman as he found healing and new life through the help of 12-step recovery and the sacramental love and mercy provided by the Catholic Church. We support parishes and communities with group resources that draw people closer to these two powerful sources of grace. It is the aim of Catholic in Recovery to share the Good News that God can bring about healing and recovery, even in the most hopeless of cases.
