Protect Yourself From Fraudulent Messages
Unfortunately, spoofing, phishing and whaling scam emails and text messages are increasingly common, and churches/nonprofits are often specifically targeted. Recently, fraudulent communications pretending to be from St. Paul’s Indy clergy/staff have targeted our community.
It’s important to stay alert and protect yourself. Please click below to learn more.
Help a Beloved Parishioner Rebuild
For many years, Rachel Brosius has been a beloved member of the St. Paul’s community and our resident florist — bringing beauty and care to countless worship services, parish occasions and our campus. Now, Rachel and her husband are facing an unimaginable loss. Flooding engulfed their home and they are facing the difficult task of replacing nearly everything they owned, while also grieving the loss of treasured belongings whose meaning cannot be replaced. As a community that has been blessed by Rachel’s years of service and presence among us, we have an opportunity to surround her and her family with care during this difficult time. Please consider making a donation to help Rachel and her family recover from this devastating loss. Every gift, whatever the amount, will help them begin to rebuild.

Welcome to the next rector of St. Paul’s Indy, the Rev. Loren Lasch!
FIVE THINGS WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT LOREN:
As we get ready to welcome our new rector, we thought we’d skip the formal bio for a moment and get to know her through a few more personal questions…
What's guaranteed to make her laugh?
"A Muppet Christmas Carol" She says it doesn’t matter how many times she watches it — she’ll always crack up when Rizzo says, “Light the lamp, not the rat!” (She also admits she cries every year when she watches it.)
What is she looking forward to in Indianapolis?
Meeting all of you! And there’s another pretty great perk: the zoo. Her boys love animals, especially her oldest, who is a big fan of penguins. Being able to visit his “penguin friends” anytime will be a gift.
What is she currently reading?
"Theo of Golden," which is reminding her quite a bit of her time in Savannah.
(Wait…What?!) What is one thing you wouldn't guess about Loren?
One thing you probably wouldn’t guess about Loren: she was part of the halftime show at Super Bowl XXXVI.
We’re grateful for these first glimpses of our new rector and look forward — with joy and anticipation — to September 8, when we’ll welcome her in person. Click below to read a full introduction from St. Paul's Indy wardens and a message from Loren:
