Witnesses to Joy: Fathers Aaron Jenkins

Area flood victims find shelter in parishes
The massive amount of rain that hit central and southern Indiana on June 6 and 7 caused flooding in many communities that hadn’t been matched for nearly 100 years. As of the deadline for this week’s issue of The Criterion, no archdiocesan parish had reported flood-related damage, but at least two archdiocesan parishes reached out to help those affected by the floods.

Meet our future deacons
On June 28, history will be made at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis when 25 men from central and southern Indiana become the first permanent deacons ordained for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. This week’s issue of The Criterion concludes a series of profiles of these men that will be published in the weeks leading up to that important day. (Page 2)

Ordination Photo Galleries
Most people won't ever get the chance to go to the ordination of new priests, and even if you do, the Cathedral is a big place and it may be hard to you to see everything that's happening. Get a close up view with our two online-only photo galleries courtesy of the reporting staff of The Criterion.
