1% Challenge Team
The goal of the 1% Challenge is to foster and grow a culture of daily prayer with Scripture. The 1% Challenge Team consists of parishioners who provide the Scripture verses and content that will go out to the parish through a daily email and social media. Some of our team members select scripture verses that are used for the emails and Monday videos. Other team members develop the scripts and produce the Monday videos that are posted each week. We are always looking for new members for our team. Email or call with any questions or interest in being on the team. A love of scripture and passion to share with others is the only thing you need!

A Meal and a Prayer
In thanksgiving for our priests and their service to St. Max, the main objective of our ministry is to provide a complete meal every Tuesday for the priests and seminarians living at the rectory. Pre-cooked meals are delivered in disposable containers to the rectory on Tuesdays before 4:30PM. Meals can simply be extra servings of whatever volunteers are making for their own families that day! Volunteers are also asked to say a decade of the rosary or another prayer of their choice for priests and religious vocations as meals are being prepared. Volunteers cook/deliver a meal about three times a year on weeks of their choosing.

Eucharistic Revival
Our revival team coordinates a parish schedule for a 3-Year vision to live out the call to renew our worship and devotion to Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. This vision is set by the National Eucharistic Revival which promotes three years for the following cycle: Year of Diocesan Revival; Year of Parish Revival; Year of Mission. As our St. Max team arranges Eucharistic themed activities for our parish, we provide many opportunities for our parishioners to grow in a deeper devotion to the body, blood, soul and divinity of our Lord. We also provide many volunteer opportunities to get involved in these events. Interested? Contact Holly Moran, hmoran@saint-max.org .
We also encourage parishioners to watch for communications on the various ways to go deeper in the Faith. The National Eucharistic Congress will be held in Indianapolis on July 17 – 21, 2024. Whether you attend as a group, family, or individual, there are various pass options which range from a day pass to a week pass. Learn more details about the revival, pilgrimage, and congress on our parish website, social media, and bulletins. Questions? Contact Mike Hinger, mhinger@saint-max.org .

Mission Core Team
A Mission is a time for refreshing, strengthening, and equipping the body of Christ to deepen one’s call to discipleship. It is a time to come together as a community to celebrate the sacraments, listen to inspiring presentations, share our faith with one another, and become closer to our Lord, Jesus Christ. Our parish mission is a time to create renewal and stir the disciple call to mission. It is a time to slow down and reflect on the joy and heart of our Faith. If you are interested in being a part of our parish mission core team or interested in our mission volunteer opportunities to serve our parish in this way, please contact our team.
