Passion Play and Danube cruise are part of 2010 pilgrimage
Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein will lead an archdiocesan pilgrimage to Europe from Sept. 25 to Oct. 4 in 2010. Among the highlights are a viewing of the Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany, and a five-night cruise on the Danube River. The history of the Oberammergau Passion Play dates back to the middle of the Thirty Years War. (Page 3)

Priests praised for supporting perpetual adoration chapel
To help mark the Year for Priests, The Criterion is inviting readers to share stories of priests who have ministered to them in a special way. This week, we share a reflection from Sister Mary Ann Schumann, coordinator of the Divine Mercy Chapel in Indianapolis. At 20 years, it is the oldest perpetual adoration chapel in the archdiocese. She reflects on the priests who have supported the chapel. (Page 2)

Gratitude, admiration and amazement were among the reactions of 60 archdiocesan pilgrims who journeyed by bus to see the “Women and Spirit: Catholic Sisters in America” exhibit on Aug. 27 at the Cincinnati Museum Center. Pilgrims also celebrated Mass at the historic and ornate St. Mary’s Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Covington, Ky., and ate lunch at the authentic German Hofbrauhaus restaurant in Newport, Ky.
