High school and college students invited to be part of two national events in Indianapolis celebrating Catholic faith
As an Indianapolis Colts fan, Kay Scoville would love to see the hometown team play in the 2012 Super Bowl on Feb. 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Still, as the director of youth ministry for the archdiocese, Scoville is more focused these days on another major event that will take place at the Indianapolis stadium on Nov. 17-19—the National Catholic Youth Conference for high school students, which is expected to draw about 25,000 people from across the country.

Renovated parish center dedicated at St. Anne in New Castle
Newly renovated and handicap-accessible, the St. Anne Parish Center architecturally and symbolically unites the campus of the Henry County faith community that has grown stronger in the midst of adversity during the past four years. The brick building sits behind the new St. Anne Church at 102 N. 19th St., which was consecrated on Feb. 28, 2010, to replace the former church destroyed in an arson fire on Holy Saturday, April 7, 2007.

Photo gallery: Friends, family, parishioners praise new monsignors
When Pope Benedict XVI gave the title of monsignor earlier this year to the late Msgr. Joseph Kern, Msgr. Paul Richart, Msgr. Joseph Riedman, Msgr. William Stumpf and Msgr. Anthony Volz, he singled out five priests who, combined, had ministered for 211 years in the Church in central and southern Indiana and in places around the world. More than 500 people gathered from all corners of the archdiocese on Aug. 14 to pay tribute to the monsignors as their ecclesiastical honors were ritually conferred in an Evening Prayer liturgy. See photos from the event and purchase reprints.
