Criterion Q&A with Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin

Archbishop Joseph W. TobinThe Archdiocese of Indianapolis has a new shepherd. On Oct. 18, Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin was appointed archbishop of Indianapolis by Pope Benedict XVI. He succeeds Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein, who served as the archdiocese’s spiritual leader for 19 years but was granted early retirement by the Holy Father because of health reasons last year. The day before the Oct. 18 public announcement of his appointment, Archbishop Tobin talked with The Criterion about how his life and ministry have prepared him to lead the archdiocese. (Page 1)

Peter and Paul Cathedral. (Page 8)
