Rejoice in the Lord: We are invited to experience, share the joy of Easter
With this Easter column, Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin begins writing a weekly column for The Criterion. It is titled, “Rejoice in the Lord,” which is the archbishop’s episcopal motto. The column will be published in both English and Spanish. He writes: "This Sunday, we celebrate the great feast of Easter and begin the season of joy. What is this Easter joy that is so special and so closely tied to the Lord’s Passion, death and resurrection?" (Page 1)

Former fashion model: ‘Modesty is about revealing our dignity’
Catholic fashion model Leah Darrow had what many would call “everything”—experience as a contestant on the reality show “America’s Next Top Model,” a modeling career in New York City, a figure and looks that every fashion magazine says a woman should have. But then she saw the light—literally. Darrow, a married mother of an 8-month-old daughter, travels the world now sharing her story of conversion and her message of modesty. (Page 3)

Photo Gallery: Annual Chrism Mass
Celebrated annually during Holy Week, the chrism Mass is the occasion when holy oils used in the sacraments are blessed and priests ministering in the archdiocese renew their ordination promises. Representatives from parishes and religious communities across central and southern Indiana receive the oils during the Mass then take them back to their faith communities. See photos from the event.
