I understand this isn't…read morenecessarily their fault, but: A small contingent of the parishioners are parents whom seem to thing it is completely acceptable to let their children talk out loud during mass without taking the appropriate steps to either 1)attempt to silence them or 2)excuse themselves and go into the narthex with their child, and as such, makes for a somewhat disruptive worshipping experience. I like going here, but their are times when I feel like I am more in the play area of a Chuck E. Cheese then at mass. Perhaps the church should take formidable steps to address this.

As I continue my journey through Central Indiana churches, I can't help but notice that it seems…read morelike the farther I go away from my actual home the less satisfying my actual experience. I had high hopes for St. Louis Demontfort Catholic Church, a Catholic parish in Fishers right at 114th and Hague Road not too far down the road from Ritchey Woods Nature Preserve. While it's a little bit of a drive for me, it's actually pretty reasonable and I happened to be in the area this afternoon and in the mood for a church service. Established as a parish in 1978 due to the growth of Hamilton County, St. Louis Demontfort includes the main church, a highly respected school, and even a Perpetual Adoration chapel (I'm pretending I actually know what that means). They also have a memorial garden that serves as a prayer labyrinth - if you know me, you know that makes me happy. Father Patrick Glick is the pastor, while Father Travis Stephens is the associate pastor. The church is definitely on the more contemporary end of Catholic churches in the area. Technically, it's in a "neighborhood" but I would have no problem saying it's also set apart. The church is in the front of their large parking lot, while the Perpetual Adoration Chapel (No, seriously. What is that?) is at the back of the building and further back is the school. As you enter off Hague Road, there's two accessible parking spaces to the right of the building that are ADA compliant. The sidewalk is level to the ground, though there's a modest incline up the sidewalk into the church. In 2011, a new altar was designed and built under the direction of the previous pastor. I did notice they have a wheelchair lift up to the altar. Overall, the church seems fairly accessible but I did note that the aisles are fairly narrow and one person sitting in the middle had their walker taken to the back - my guess was so it would not block the aisle. I sat toward the back along a less populated side. Being a Lenten service today, much of the Mass was quite traditional. My guess is if you're more familiar with Catholicism it would have had greater significance. For someone like me, a visitor with a few masses under my belt, it was rather confusing and a little difficult to follow. The music appears to all be traditional hymns. There was a female vocalist who led the music - her voice was beautiful and worked quite nicely with the building's acoustics. I would likely say that those attending were modestly friendly. I was asked about Communion by someone noticing I wasn't going up, while I was casually greeted by a couple folks in the "pass the peace" part of the service. No one, however, actually "introduced" themselves. So, I wouldn't quite call it hospitality. I had a difficult time hearing Father Patrick, though I could hear Father Travis fairly well and I could hear the scripture readers fine. As the message primarily consisted of a dramatic reading, I was familiar with the story but the lack of being able to hear the pastor was definitely distracting. If I return, I would definitely sit closer to the front. My overall experience was sort of middle-of-the-road. The church is contemporary yet quite serene and beautiful. They do have outside security cameras - this may be true of all parishes, but I've not really noticed it before. However, in this day and age it's understandable. The parish seems to be largely white, though there's some diversity present and I noticed a nice mixture of younger and older. The disability representation seemed to be primarily among the older population. The difference between a 3 and 4-star for me is frequently "Will I go back?" My gut feeling is I won't. Of course, that's reasonable given I likely pass several parishes on the way from my Lawrence home. However, mostly it's because I've simply had more welcoming, spiritually fulfilling experiences in other parishes. There's no question there's much to love here and there's a TON of ministries that run out of this very active community parish. Ultimately, I'm glad I visited and can easily say that for those of the Catholic faith this is likely a wonderful church home for those within the parish's geographical boundaries.

What a wonderful new Heartland location! And have you met the staff? The congregation? You can tell…read morethey are genuinely happy to see new faces walk in the door. Heartland Westfield recently launched and it's grown a lot even since the first day I went to check it out. It's located at an elementary school, so there's plenty of parking! Childcare? Yep, it's available. How about a worship team? You know it! Pastor Darryn live streams in during his sermon at the 96th St. location - but I promise you the quality of the video on the mega screen is so good that it's as if he's there in real life. :) Pastor Jarod Moore of the Westfield location and his wife Amanda are honestly some of the nicest people I've ever met. I met Jarod when I started attending the 96th St. location almost 4 years ago and recently met Amanda when she began giving me piano lessons - and then graciously invited me to join her small group. :) I have complete faith that this church location will continue to stay true to what Heartland has been all along - a place that thrives on loving people well. Looking forward to seeing what God does with this group of people.

Being contemporary, there were many young adults, but the age range was larger than I had expected. They were talking on a series, "Won't You Be My Neighbor". They had two handouts; one for main points and notes, and one directly related to the reading for the day. The music was live and energetic, as well as the congregation. The 11:30 service had some seats open, and I enjoyed the experience. Communion service was not pressured, one could get in line and participate at their own will. There were also gluten free offerings. The spirit of the pastor and the congregation was contagious, I would absolutely visit again.
