Archbishop Tobin points to youthful signs of hope at Jan. 25 Roe commemoration Mass

Archbishop Tobin and other at pro-life marchForty years after Roe v. Wade, SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis was filled with more than 700 worshippers—many of whom were born in the years that followed those decisions. They prayed that the Gospel of Life might overcome the culture of death to which the abortion license has greatly contributed. The Jan. 25 Mass at the cathedral was the centerpiece of the third annual Local Solemn Observance of Roe v. Wade organized by the archdiocesan Office of Pro-Life Ministry. (Page 1)

Archbishop Tobin gets warm welcome in Tell City Deanery

Archbishop Tobin greeting people at MassA sense of reverence and hushed anticipation filled the sanctuary at St. Paul Church in Tell City on Jan. 21 where Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin would celebrate his first deanery Mass outside Indianapolis. Installed on Dec. 3, 2012, Archbishop Tobin has the goal of visiting each of the archdiocese’s 11 deaneries in the next three weeks to learn more about the archdiocese and meet the people who comprise it. Members of the Tell City Deanery’s 11 parishes traveled to St. Paul Church and gathered to welcome the new archbishop. (Page 3)

Photos: Indianapolis young adults join more than half million in March for Life in Washington

Young adults at the March for LifeThe archdiocesan Young Adult and College Campus Ministry led a group of 50 pro-life Catholics and non-Catholics on a pilgrimage to participate in the national March for Life in Washington on Jan. 25. More than 500,000 people participated in this year’s march. The event this year marked the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision which legalized abortion. An article will detail the event in next week’s issue of The Criterion; until then, enjoy a photo gallery from our reporter.
