Coyne has been appointed as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. As auxiliary bishop, Bishop-designate Coyne will assist Archbishop Buechlein in fulfilling the responsibilities of leading the nearly 225,000 Catholics in central and southern Indiana. (Page 1)

Laity and clergy express pleasure about new auxiliary bishop
J. Patrick Byrne drove more than 100 miles one way on the morning of Jan. 14 to witness history. But Byrne admits that he didn’t know exactly why he was invited from his southern Indiana home to St. John the Evangelist Church in Indianapolis that day. “I knew there was going to be an important message,” said Byrne, a member of the Catholic Community Foundation’s board of directors, “and the archbishop asked us to attend.” That announcement turned out to be the appointment of Bishop-designate Christopher J. Coyne as an auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. (Page 9)
