Cups of salvation: Historic chalices from archdiocesan archives link young priests to those who went before them
At each Mass, a priest raises up a chalice filled with wine that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, becomes the true presence of Christ. Priests throughout the 2,000-year history of the Church have raised up such cups, all of them linked in the one priesthood of Christ. Over the past several years, priests ordained for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis have had the chance to receive a tangible reminder of that connection. As transitional deacons approach their priestly ordination, they can request to have a chalice from the archives. (Page 1)
