Father Guy Roberts uses tae kwon do
to build unusual bond with students
The eyes of 8-year-old Lauren Graves are almost as wide as her smile when she recalls the first time she saw Father Guy Roberts walk into St. Joan of Arc School in Indianapolis to give a demonstration in tae kwon do. Then he kicked one of the boards he had carried in and shattered it, drawing stunned “Did you see that?! I can’t believe I just saw that!” looks from Lauren and other St. Joan of Arc students.

Archdiocesan youths to take part in March for Life
Two days after President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration, pro-life supporters from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and throughout the nation will participate in the 36th annual March for Life on Jan. 22 in Washington, D.C. March for Life organizers indicated on their Web site that they expect at least 200,000 people to participate in the peaceful, prayerful, pro-life rally and march to demonstrate their opposition to legalized abortion during all nine months of pregnancy.

Web-only features
The Criterion is now selling
photograph reprints online
Our reporting staff takes dozens of high-quality photos at many major archdiocesan events—events that either have historical significance (like the canonization of St. Theodora Guérin in 2006) or that your family might have attended (like an ordination at the cathedral). Now these photos are available for purchase on our website in a variety of sizes. We also have pictures of the archbishop and the cathedral, as well as full-size prints of front pages from The Criterion from major events and our Christmas and Easter issues.
