Four men are ordained priests during June 7 liturgy at cathedral

Ordination MassMoments before he was to ordain four men to the priesthood on June 7 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis, Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin reflected on the mysterious relationship of seeing and believing. Listening to his homily that day were transitional deacons Daniel Bedel, David Marcotte, Benjamin Syberg and Timothy Wyciskalla—and the nearly 1,000 people who came to the cathedral to witness the joyous ordination. “Our faith is not simply the ability to assent or say, ‘Yes,’ to a number of propositions,” Archbishop Tobin said. “It’s also a way of seeing, of seeing life and life’s mysteries in a different way.” (Page 1, 8-10)

Catholic school studentsAs Sharon Horvath walks through the school garden marked with bird feeders and plants that provide food for butterflies, the science teacher feels a natural pride that St. Thomas Aquinas School in Indianapolis has been named a 2014 “Green Ribbon School” by the U.S. Department of Education—the only Catholic school in Indiana to earn that environmentally-friendly recognition. Yet as much as she is proud, Horvath also views St. Thomas’ environmental success story as a faith-based model that could readily be used by other Catholic schools in the archdiocese and across the country.
