Criterion celebrates 50 years of sharing the faith
In its Sept. 23, 1960, issue, this announcement appeared in The Indiana Catholic: “Archbishop [Paul C.] Schulte has announced that with this issue The Indiana Catholic ceases to be the official publication of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.” Two weeks later, on Oct. 7, 1960, The Criterion appeared for the first time. With this issue, and periodically throughout the next 12 months, we are observing the 50th anniversary of the archdiocesan newspaper. (Pages 9-12)

Education awards honor people who make a difference
On the evening of Nov. 3, the archdiocese will honor the five recipients of the 2010 Celebrating Catholic School Values: Scholarship and Career Achievement Awards. The awards honor people who have used the foundation of their Catholic education to make a difference in the world. This story provides a look at the award recipients: James Schellinger, Shirley Kloepfer, William Kuntz, Dr. Michael Welsh, and the family of Archie and Bettie Smith. (Page 1)
