The Mission of the Catholic people of Northcentral Indiana is to proclaim the Kingdom of God, to praise the name of Jesus and follow Him by
 
Loving
God and our neighbor, especially those in need;
 
Worshipping
God as a faith community in word and sacrament;
 
Responding
to ongoing personal conversion;
 
Teaching
of the Gospel message in the Catholic tradition; and

We, the people of the Local Church, gathered by the power of the Holy Spirit, are committed to responsible stewardship of our human and financial resources.

The Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana is dedicated to ensuring a culture that is safe, open,
welcoming and protective of all people and especially our children. 

We cooperate with parents, civil authorities, educators, and community organizations 
to provide education and training for children, youth, parents, ministers, educators, 
volunteers and others about ways to make and maintain a safe environment for children and vulnerable adults.

The St. Charles Borromeo parish contact person for Protocol Training and Safe Environment is Katie Slonina.
