2012 Religious Vocations Supplement
Each year, the first issue of The Criterion is our religious vocations supplement, which highlights men and women who are serving the Church as priests, deacons and religious, as well as those in formation for any of those vocations. This year's supplement includes stories about a deacon, Archbishop Tobin, an archdiocesan seminarian, a Franciscan sister in Montana, and a day in the life of a parish priest. (Pages 7-14)

Transitional Deacon Martin Rodriguez received a special Christmas gift a few weeks before the celebration of Christ’s birth when he was invited to assist Pope Benedict XVI during a Christmas Eve night Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican. Six deacons assisted at the Mass. Deacon Rodriguez, a member of St. Mary Parish in Indianapolis, was one of two to remain at the pope’s side during the entire liturgy. (Page 19)
