‘Universal Call to Holiness’: New archdiocesan initiative aims to help
young adults connect with their faith
Father Rick Nagel and Mary Schaffner have traveled to different college campuses this fall as the leaders of a renewed archdiocesan effort to connect with young people. Since they started the revived effort on July 1 at the request of Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein, the two have listened to the hopes, concerns and stories of college students and young adults, wanting to know what place the Church has in their lives and what the archdiocese can do to make the connection closer.

Front Page Image Compilations
We've taken the past three years of Criterion issues from our print edition and made three separate compilations of front page images. You can look at 2005, 2006 or 2007 and see every front page from that year put into one picture -- kind of a birds-eye view of the year in Catholic news in Indiana.
