A guided tour of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church’s Marian stained glass windows and their history will be presented during the Parish Feast Day Celebration at the church, 5692 Central Ave., in Indianapolis, at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on June 25.

The windows were created and donated by members of the Byrne family, parishioners who owned the Capital Glass Company in Indianapolis.

Among the nearly 40 stained glass windows are images of Our Lady of Fatima, St. Catherine Labouré, the Miraculous Medal, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, Proclamation of the Immaculate Conception dogma, Our Lady of Einsiedeln, Our Lady of Lourdes and other depictions of the Blessed Mother and events related to her in the history of the Church.

Doors will remain open, and tour and devotional material will be made available, for those who wish to take a self-guided tour of the windows from noon-4 p.m.

 

Public hearing on use of Owens Hall at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods set for June 21

The Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods will conduct a public forum regarding the use of Owens Hall in the Providence Hall Community Room of the Providence Spirituality and Conference Center,

1 Sisters of Providence, at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, at 6:30 p.m. on June 21.

The purpose of the forum is to discuss the proposed plans for Owens Hall.

Currently, the congregation is considering repurposing the building for alternative uses. At this time, the main proposal is to develop Owens Hall for use as affordable and market rate housing for seniors ages 55 and older.

The main proposal anticipates incorporating optional assisted living services, which will help the seniors age in place, and ideally keep them from having to go into nursing homes. There are financing opportunities to make those optional assisted living services available to seniors on fixed income.

The forum will include opportunities for those in attendance to discuss other viable alternatives, and to offer input into what services are needed for area seniors if the housing approach is considered the best use of the building. The sisters welcome public opinion.

Written comments on this project will also be welcome by sending them to Owens Hall Project, Sisters of Providence, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, 47876.
