Archbishop Tobin named member of Vatican congregation that oversees men, women religious
Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin as a new member of the Vatican department that oversees the more than 1 million men and women in the world’s religious orders.

Lenten resources
Each year, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis provides special Lenten resources – the daily readings, archived columns from Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein, Stations of the Cross and links of interest – on a site located on our server (www.archindy.org/lent). We encourage you to share this link with others, most particularly because it also includes the full listing of penance schedules from around the archdiocese.
