Rise: Women’s Retreat (January 19-21)
St. Paul tells us in his letter to the Thessalonians to “pray without ceasing,” which to many women sounds like an absurd request. Introducing the Rise Retreat! Join women of the New Albany Deanery for a weekend of experiencing various ways of praying that help us learn to live out the command from St. Paul. With presentations and practical examples from women of all walks of life, you will leave the weekend with a renewed vigor for life with Christ. For full details and to register, go to catalystcatholic.org/rise or call the Catalyst Catholic office at 812.923.8355.

The Summit: Deanery Senior Retreat (Feb. 9-11, 2024)
Media kits are the place to download any and all promotional materials for Catalyst Catholic events. Some tips you may find handy:
For images: right click and select “Save image as…” to save to your computer. These are best used in your bulletin or on social media, though they can be printed out as well.
For PDF files: Click the button to open the file in a new tab. If you are using Google Chrome (which we recommend) there is a icon in the top right with an arrow point down. After clicking this, chose a place to save your file. PDF files are best for printing and hanging on a bulletin board, or wherever you advertise your events. Catalyst is happy to provide files printed in color at each month’s networking meeting.
For text: If you choose not to use our images in your bulletin, you may copy and paste the text for each event. This will often not include every detail families need, so please be sure to keep the website link and/or contact information for Catalyst so they can contact us.
If you have any questions, please contact Kelli Reutman at kelli@catalystcatholic.org and she can help you access the files you need. Thank you for supporting Catalyst Catholic!
