Lessons learned at home

Cardinal Ritter graduate
fulfill football dreams
On Sept. 12, Indianapolis Colts kick returner Devin Moore stood quietly at his team’s goal line at Reliant Stadium in Houston. It was the opening kickoff of the Colts’ 2010-11 regular season and Moore, a 2004 graduate of Cardinal Ritter Jr./Sr. High School in Indianapolis, would be the first member of the team to touch the football on their quest for a possible return to the Super Bowl.

Jennings County parishes begin perpetual adoration
Since the Divine Mercy Chapel was established at St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Indianapolis in 1989, the practice of perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament has slowly spread to other parishes across central and southern Indiana. At the start of this year, there were 11 perpetual adoration chapels in six of the archdiocese’s 11 deaneries. That number grew to 12 chapels in seven deaneries on Oct. 2 when perpetual adoration was inaugurated at the Good Shepherd Chapel at St. Mary (Nativity of the Virgin Mary) Parish in North Vernon. (Page 16)
