Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin is installed as the sixth archbishop of Indianapolis
When Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin sat in the cathedra for the first time at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis on Dec. 3, he did so to teach the Catholic faithful of central and southern Indiana how to love and respond to Christ’s love for them. In a homily he delivered during the Mass in which he was installed as the sixth shepherd of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, Archbishop Tobin reflected on how St. Paul saw himself as obligated to preach the Gospel because Christ loved him first.

Plane crash victims remembered for commitment to family, Church
As the news spread about the deaths of four friends in a plane crash near Greensburg on Dec. 2, so did the stories and the memories of how their lives shined a beacon of light on their families, their care for others and their Catholic faith. Stories were told about how Stephen Butz and Donald Horan were lifelong friends who grew up, played and prayed together. Memories were shared about how the two men and their wives—Denise Butz and Barbara Horan—always kept their children and their larger families at the heart of their lives. (Page 3)
