Challenges deepen young couple’s bond of marriage and relationship with God
Marriage has become an even greater focus in the Church and the archdiocese this year. Noting that marriage and the family are “in crisis,” Pope Francis will lead a meeting of the Synod of Bishops on the issue in October. And Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin has made it an archdiocesan goal to “strengthen marriage and family life.” With that greater focus in mind, The Criterion has been sharing a continuing series on marriage. This week, our story focuses on a young couple and the challenges that tested their marriage. (Page 1)

Indiana Catholic Men’s Conference on Sept. 20 seeks to build faith
Catholic speakers from near and far will help strengthen the faith of Catholic men from across the state on Sept. 20 at the 2014 Indiana Catholic Men’s Conference in Indianapolis. In addition to a full slate of speakers, the conference will include a midday Mass with Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin serving as the liturgy’s homilist. After lunch, eucharistic adoration and Benediction will take place in the afternoon. The sacrament of reconciliation will be available throughout the conference. (Page 3)
