2023 National Catholic Youth Conference
NCYC (the National Catholic Youth Conference) is a gathering of 12,000 Catholic teenagers encountering Christ together so as to follow Him in with new vigor. We had a group of over 30 teens come to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis to listen to speakers, receive the sacrament of confession, attend Mass, sing to worship music, and bond with other Catholic teens from around the country.

EN: A New Chapter with Our Pastor This past Saturday at the 5:00 PM Mass, we had the joy of welcoming Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune he concelebrated a beautiful liturgy to formally install Fr. Edward Fitzgerald as pastor of Our Lady of the Hills. The celebration was filled with reverence, gratitude, and hope for the journey ahead. We give thanks to God for the gift of Fr. Fitzgerald’s leadership and pastoral heart. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide him—and all of us—as we grow together as a parish family, rooted in faith and ready to serve.
