Workshops help priests learn about and prepare for new Mass texts
When the new English translation of the Roman Missal—the texts for the Mass—is first used on the weekend of Nov. 26-27, 2011, it will be priests who will experience the greatest amount of change. Many of the prayers that priests have proclaimed, in many cases for 40 years, will be significantly different on that first weekend in Advent in 2011. The Office of Worship has worked hard to organize a series of small-group workshops to help priests with the important task that awaits them. (Pages 1-2)

Annual appeal helps schools form students into saints
Students of all ages in our Catholic schools learn of God’s love for them in the person of Jesus Christ, and are formed to become strong in their faith and dedicated citizens in their communities. In the “Christ Our Hope: Compassion in Community” annual appeal, Catholics in the 151 parishes of the archdiocese will have the chance to support Catholic schools close to their homes. The staff of the archdiocesan Office of Catholic Education (OCE) helps the schools achieve their important mission. (Page 3)

Sisters of St. Benedict weigh options for activity center in Beech Grove
Do you or your organization have a use for an activity center that has a pool, gymnasium and two conference rooms? If so, the Sisters of St. Benedict of Our Lady of Grace Monastery in Beech Grove are interested in hearing from you. While the Benedictine sisters will continue their commitment to spiritual ministry through the Benedict Inn Retreat and Conference Center, they have decided that they can no longer maintain the activity center at the facility.
