Holy Land pilgrimage begins activities marking
175th anniversary of Archdiocese of Indianapolis
Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein will lead a pilgrimage to the Holy Land from Sept. 17-27 to launch the observance of the 175th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Archbishop Buechlein and 42 other pilgrims from the archdiocese and Diocese of Evansville will travel throughout Israel visiting sacred sites where Jesus walked and where the Catholic Church was born. The pilgrims will pray for a special intention each day, and Archbishop Buechlein is inviting all of the archdiocese to pray for the intentions as well. (Page 1)
