Richmond native Charles Maurer appointed supreme treasurer for Knights of Columbus
Since his grandfather and father were elected the leader of the Knights of Columbus’ Richmond Council #580 in Richmond, it might seem natural that Charles Maurer would follow in their footsteps. He did when he was the council’s grand Knight from 1980-82. But now, Maurer has gone far beyond where his father and grandfather trod. Earlier this month, Maurer, 61, was appointed the Knights of Columbus’ supreme treasurer, one of its highest offices. (Page 1)

Mass, Life Chains to highlight Respect Life Sunday events
“The Measure of Love Is to Love Without Measure” is the theme for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ national Respect Life Program for 2010-11. On Oct. 3, Respect Life Sunday will be celebrated with Masses at Catholic churches and pro-life prayer chains in dioceses throughout the United States. Msgr. Joseph F. Schaedel, vicar general, will celebrate the archdiocesan Respect Life Sunday Mass at 1 p.m. on Oct. 3 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, 1347 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis. (Page 2)
