Mission territory: Renewed Catholic campus ministry begins at IUPUI
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
is a bustling campus with 30,000 students on which the Catholic Church has had no formal presence for several years. It is mission territory. But one priest, five young adults dedicated to ministering on the campus and a handful of Catholic IUPUI students are heading into that mission field determined to proclaim the Gospel and bring students to Christ.

Archdiocesan priest to study Orthodox theology at Vatican’s request
Father Christiaan Kappes will participate in a pilot program set up by the Vatican and the government of Greece in which he and other Catholics will earn advanced degrees in Greek Orthodox theology in Greece. He said the ultimate purpose of the program is that he and those who will participate in it later will possibly assist in “an official commission between the Vatican and the Greek Orthodox Church to try to overcome a lot of the dissensions that historically have divided us.” (Page 3)
