General Announcements

Nov. 3 Corrections Ministry conference in Bloomington, register by Oct. 22

The archdiocesan Corrections Ministry conference will take place at St. Paul Catholic Center, 1413 E. 17th St., in Bloomington on Nov. 3. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., and the conference will take place from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

This year’s theme is “My Heart Near to Your Heart.” Archbishop Charles C. Thompson will offer a welcome at the beginning of the conference, and will lead participants in the praying of the Liturgy of the Hours.

Father David Link, a priest of the Diocese of Gary, Ind., will offer the keynote address.

Father Link is a lawyer, former dean of the University of Notre Dame Law School and an author. He is also a widowed grandfather who was ordained a priest at the age of 71 in 2008, and now devotes his life to corrections ministry.

His inspirational biography Camerado, I Give You My Hand shares his story and how God can be found anywhere.

Author Maura Poston Zagrans writes, “Father Dave upends what we think we know about mercy, compassion, justice and service. He shows that even in the most fallow of fields the seeds of peace can be sown with the hand of friendship. He demonstrates how helping others can be the purpose of life as well as the joy in life. His faith is straight-forward: love is a verb; everything else is just chatter.”

The book will be available for purchase.

The day will include interactive concurrent breakout sessions, networking with successful programs and ministries across southern and central Indiana, and the opportunity to hear directly from those re-entering society and from their families.

The conference is geared toward clergy, lay volunteers and those discerning involvement in correction ministry. Parish teams are especially encouraged to attend.

There is no charge, although freewill offerings will be accepted. A complimentary lunch will be included.

Registration is required by Oct. 22 and is available at www.archindy.org/corrections.

Archdiocesan pilgrimage to basilica in Vincennes is set for Nov. 5

The archdiocese will sponsor a pilgrimage to the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier (also known as Old Cathedral) in Vincennes on Nov. 5. The basilica was the original cathedral for the Diocese of Vincennes, which later became the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

The pilgrimage, which will be led by archdiocesan archivist Julie Motyka and archdiocesan vicar judicial Father Joseph Newton, will include Mass at the Old Cathedral; a tour of the Old Cathedral museum, library and cemetery; and lunch at Dogwood BBQ.

The bus will leave the Archbishop Edward T. O’Meara Catholic Center at 1400 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis, at 7:30 a.m., and return at approximately 5:30 p.m.

The cost is $69 per person, which includes deluxe motor coach transportation, a bag breakfast, lunch and all fees and gratuities.

Registration is required by Oct. 22 at www.archindy.org/pilgrimage.

To learn more, contact Rita Maguire at 317-236-1428 or 800-382-9836, ext. 1428, or e-mail rmaguire@archindy.org.
