Supporting the Heart of Our Church’s Mission

Join us for an unforgettable evening of faith, fellowship, and generosity at the Legacy Gala 2026, benefiting three pillars of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis: Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary, Catholic Charities, and our Catholic schools.

These ministries form the foundation of our mission—forming future priests, serving the most vulnerable in our communities, and educating the next generation in the Catholic faith. When you attend or donate to the Legacy Gala, you are helping to build a stronger Church, one life at a time.

This year, we are honored to recognize Patricia Etling of Terre Haute, IN as our 2026 Legacy Gala honoree. A dedicated servant leader, Patricia has spent decades living out her faith through tireless support of Catholic education, charitable outreach, and parish ministry. Her example inspires us all to give generously and live faithfully.

Be part of something lasting.

Whether you attend the Gala, make a donation, or become a sponsor, your support makes a direct impact in the lives of seminarians, students, families, and neighbors in need.

Save the date: February 2027. More details coming soon — and we can't wait to see you there.

“Legacy is not what we leave behind,
but who we lift up along the way.”

With compassion at the heart of everything we do, we extend assistance and inspire hope for those in need throughout central and southern Indiana.

Catholic Schools

By the grace of God, we are privileged to offer exceptional Catholic school ministry throughout central and southern Indiana. Our Catholic schools integrate the Catholic faith throughout rigorous academic programs while sacraments, prayer, and service are foundational ways that we live our mission and Catholic identity every day. With 69 Catholic schools serving nearly 23,000 students, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis ranks in the top 20 of Catholic dioceses throughout the country. Since 1834, Catholic schools in the archdiocese have been called to help form hundreds of thousands of young people, preparing them for eternal and earthly life.

Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary

Priesthood is more than a career—it is a sacred calling, a life of self-giving service rooted in love for Christ and His Church. For those discerning this vocation, the journey begins with formation: a deep and intentional process that prepares the whole person—spiritually, intellectually, pastorally, and humanly—to serve God’s people faithfully. At Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary, we are honored to walk with young men as they answer this call and begin their preparation for a lifetime of priestly ministry.
