“Service to people is service to God”

Thank you for your interest in the Catholic community of Indianola, Mississippi.

We gladly welcome everyone, whether visiting on travels, looking for a new church home, or returning to the practice of one’s own faith.

A parish is a community of believers that is supportive and loving. As followers of Christ, we strive to develop spiritually, live out our faith, and make use of our individual talents in service to God and one another.

We look forward to answering any questions you may have. In the meantime, please look through the resources we’ve made available in the tabs and menus above.

I am Fr. Sleeva Reddy Mekala, and I was appointed as the pastor of Immaculate Conception and St. Benedict the Moor, on May 1, 2022.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to these beautiful parishes full of wonderful people.
