Dear Holy Name Families,

On behalf of the Holy Name Oktoberfest Committee, we would like to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year!

Each year, our parish holds two major fundraisers: Oktoberfest in the fall and Mardi Gras in early spring. Not only do these two events bring in much-needed revenue for day-to-day functions on our campus, but they also provide our parishioners and school families with an opportunity to gather for food, fun, & fellowship - a vital component to our beloved parish.

Mark your calendars for this year’s Oktoberfest event: Friday, September 27th & Saturday, September 28th from 5-11pm! Follow the Holy Name Oktoberfest 2024 Facebook page for details and minute-by-minute updates as we draw closer to the event!

So, what can YOU do to help support Oktoberfest? First, join us at the Early Bird dinner on September 8th from 5-6:30pm in the cafe. This dinner is free, but we’ll gladly accept monetary donations. Next, come to the actual event and bring your friends and family! You can use the QR code below to volunteer your time, or donate to the soda drive (happening the week of Sept. 16th). Any student whose family volunteers gets to join us for an ice cream party after fall break! You can also purchase commemorative Oktoberfest t-shirts using the link below (until September 8th). Don’t forget to purchase a BIG RAFFLE ticket for a chance to win up to $18,000 through the school office, parish office, and after all Masses (cash or check only). Any student whose family purchases a ticket earns the week of Sept. 30th out of uniform!

Thank you for your support & Go GIANTS!

Sock Drive

7th Graders are collecting socks during the month of August for our service project! Last year we collected well over 500 pairs of brand new socks! The socks we collect will be donated to refugee camps, St. Vincent de Paul, elderly communities, and homeless shelters. As you can see, these socks are going to people in need. People that may be coming from different countries that don’t experience the weather here in Indianapolis. We want to give thanks to Mrs. Chamblee who is helping us get this service project off to a great start. Please send all socks to Sr. Nicolette’s homeroom. Thank you to everyone who will help us reach our goal.

I wanted to share with you a very fun event at Victory Field. This event will take place prior to the Game that evening. They are having a STEAM night on Tuesday, August 27th. This has grown to be a very popular event. They will have over 30 interactive booths for kids to engage with. Below are some details and a discounted ticket link if you are interested in going.
