We report on the investigation of recently discovered heavy fermion compounds within the Ce-Pd-In system. Single crystals of Ce_{n}Pd_{m}In_{3n+2m} (n=2, 3, 5; m=1, 2) and Ce_{4}Pd_{10}In_{21} were synthesized from In-flux. Specific heat measurements of the multiphase Ce_{n}Pd_{m}In_{3n+2m} system revealed a superconducting transition at T_{c}=0.69 K arising from Ce_{2}PdIn_{8} and another, magnetic transition at T_{m}=1.67 K arising from either Ce_{3}PdIn_{11} or Ce_{5}Pd_{2}In_{19}. Low-temperature data of Ce_{4}Pd_{10}In_{21} display ferromagnetic long-range order below 0.8 K.
