Many parishioners have made a three year commitment to sacrifice that much more each month to the Archdiocese of Indianapolis capital campaign, Legacy for our Mission. In this program, individual parishes contribute to diocesan-wide fundraising which is then reflected back toward the parishes for their various needs. The $1.2 million goal is somewhat closer now as the total commitment has reached $834,668.

St. Therese of the Little Flower is demographically a “young and old” parish, historically composed of many new families just starting out, and many older and retired parishioners. Its immediate surrounding neighborhood is made up of well-kept, modest “starter-type” homes, through it also draws members from more affluent neighborhoods, such as the nearby Irvington area. It is located near three other Indianapolis eastside Catholic churches, Holy Spirit, Our Lady of Lourdes  and St. Bernadette.
