Catholic cemeteries provide ‘extension of our faith’
Among its list of corporal works of mercy, the Church includes one that is, by its very nature, posthumous: burying the dead. But this act of mercy demonstrates respect and dignity for the deceased. And by having its own cemeteries, the Church provides an opportunity for Catholics to perform another work of mercy—comforting the afflicted—in a particularly Catholic way. (Page 3)

Journeys of loss and hope lead people to deeper bond with Christ in Year of Faith
When Pope Benedict XVI announced a special Year of Faith from Oct. 11, 2012, to Nov. 24, 2013, he viewed it as an opportunity for Catholics to commit to a deeper relationship with Christ. As the Year of Faith nears its end, The Criterion is sharing stories of Catholics from central and southern Indiana whose faith has grown during the past year. (Page 1)

Did the Kennedy assassination affect your life of faith?
Later this month, on Nov. 22, our nation will mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Many people can still recall, a half century later, where they were when they heard about the shooting in Dallas and how Kennedy’s death affected them. As the anniversary of the assassination approaches, The Criterion invites readers whose lives of faith were affected by Kennedy’s death to share their experiences. (Page 8)
