Who are Stephen Ministers?

At St. Joseph, we have compassionate individuals who are trained to help us when we encounter loss, grief, relationship challenges, and a myriad of things that can throw our lives into a tailspin. Stephen Ministers are not counselors. They are not "know-it-alls." They are not individuals who try to fix everyone's troubles. They simply provide love, care, and support when we need it most. A Stephen Minister is a caring individual who can help us navigate our present situation. We all need help from time to time, and your request for a Stephen Minister will be confidential.

 

If you would like to get connected with a Stephen Minster please contact the Parish Center at 812-482-1805 or click here. 

Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international organization dedicated to helping the poor. Their goal is to end poverty through systematic change. Saint Vincent de Paul operates independently of the parish. Saint Joseph assists in their mission by accepting applications for assistance and providing a meeting space for meetings. Parishes assist their Vincentians based on the geographic boundary of the parish.

Their assistance is more directed towards moments of crises and not intended for ongoing support.
