The health and safety of our parish family are of utmost importance. St. Boniface Parish and St. Meinrad Parish in Spencer County, along with the local Catholic Church of Central and Southern Indiana (the 38 counties and one township of Harrison) that comprise the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, as our entire nation  has been closely monitoring the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak and taking extraordinary steps to help minimize the spread of the virus.

As the health and safety conditions in our archdiocesan community have shifted, the spread of the COVID-19 virus is a moment for Catholics and all people of goodwill to offer special prayers of intercession for the healing of those infected, for the protection of the elderly and infirm who are at most considerable risk, for the prevention of the disease's spread, and for the courage and strength of care providers who minister to the sick, their families and those most in need
