Historic parish plans outreach to Super Bowl visitors
History will be made when more than 100,000 visitors from around the world are expected to come to Indianapolis for 10 days of activities leading to Super Bowl XLVI, which will be played in Lucas Oil Stadium on Feb. 5. And a historic church will be right in the middle of it all. St. John the Evangelist Parish, which was founded 175 years ago when Indianapolis was a small town on the edge of the American frontier, will be in the middle of the Super Bowl Village that will host many events at the Indiana Convention Center across the street from the parish and on the streets surrounding it.

Smiling through her tears, she took a deep breath and described how God helped her as a rape survivor to choose life then place her baby in an open adoption with wonderful parents. “He is the love of my life,” the University of Louisville graduate student told nearly 900 pro-life supporters gathered on Jan. 23 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis for the archdiocese’s second annual Local Solemn Observance of Roe v. Wade. (Page 1A)
