Catholics from across archdiocese participate in annual chrism Mass
Celebrated annually during Holy Week, the chrism Mass is the occasion when holy oils used in the sacraments are blessed and priests ministering in the archdiocese renew their ordination promises. Representatives from parishes and religious communities across central and southern Indiana receive the oils during the Mass then take them back to their faith communities. Ordinarily, the archbishop of Indianapolis blesses the oils. But since Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein last September, Catholics in the archdiocese have been awaiting the appointment of a new shepherd. (Page 1)

Volunteers are needed for tornado disaster recovery in Henryville
In its continued effort to provide support for the people whose lives were devastated by the tornadoes that ripped through southern Indiana on March 2, Catholic Charities in the archdiocese is seeking volunteer teams to help rebuild homes from now through August. The first wave of volunteers who responded to the devastation have left the area, according to Catholic Charities officials. Yet, there is still a great need to provide long-term recovery, which means rebuilding and repairing homes, outbuildings and fencing. (Page 2)
