Upcoming Events
“Make a Joyful Noise” with Nic Davidson
Youth and young adults ages 13 and up can kick off the school year with a fun yet very meaningful event featuring youth evangelist and Source Summit favorite Nic Davidson! Davidson presents "Make a Joyful Noise" at Celebration Hall at the Diocesan Catholic Center, 4200 N. Kentucky Ave. in Evansville, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Aug. 11. All are welcome (even if you can’t sing!)
Davidson, a Catholic youth minister, missionary, speaker and author, joined the church in 2008. Working with the Diocese of Duluth, Minn., Davidson helped create the Theology of the Body Immersion for Teens, a four-day camp that takes teens through the Theology of the Body. His energy and sense of humor have made him a popular speaker who encourages youth to find true joy and share it with those around them.
The event is free; freewill offerings are optional. Participants must have a signed registration form available at www.sourcesummitevansville.org. Groups may rsvp at sourcesummit@evdio.org.
Retrouvaille - a lifeline for married couples

This program has helped thousands of couples experiencing any level of difficulty in their marriage from disillusionment to deep misery.
