Providence at work: First year at Cristo Rey High School
in Indianapolis changes students’ lives
It’s nearly impossible to capture the first year of a new Catholic high school with just one story, but Providence Sister Jeanne Hagelskamp has never been one to shy away from a challenge. As the president of Providence Cristo Rey High School in Indianapolis, Sister Jeanne considers the request and then begins to share a telling moment about her school—the latest in a national network of 19 schools which are building a reputation for helping students from low-income families through a work-study program that is changing lives.

Future deacons to extend Church’s reach into the community
The first 25 men to be ordained as permanent deacons in the archdiocese will start ministering in their respective parishes soon after they are ordained in a historic liturgy on June 28 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. But there is another aspect of these men’s ministry that, at least initially, few of their fellow parishioners will see: most have been assigned by Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein to specific ministries of charity outside their parishes. (Page 3)

Photo Gallery from the "Bishop Bruté Days" vocations camp
The culture of vocations in central and southern Indiana is spreading. That fact was on display from June 11-14 at the Future Farmers of America Leadership Center just outside Trafalgar when 50 junior and senior high-school-aged boys from across the archdiocese participated in the third annual Bishop Bruté Days. The participants came from 22 parishes and nine deaneries in the archdiocese.
