Emotions run deep for retiring sister who helped parishes live their faith
Tears started to pool in the eyes of Franciscan Sister Christine Ernstes. She could feel the emotion rising within her as she sat in the sanctuary during a recent Sunday Mass at Immaculate Conception Church in Millhousen, where she has served as the parish life coordinator for the past 21 years. “I saw all these people coming up for Communion, and I thought of how all of them had touched my life, and how I had touched theirs,” she recalls. “I almost cried just because they are so much a part of my life. They are family.” (Page 1)

Former Anglican priest to make history as first married priest in archdiocese
On June 29, transitional Deacon Luke Reese, a former Anglican priest, will become the first married priest in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis when he is ordained in a liturgy witnessed by his wife Gina of 24 years and their seven children. Soon after, Deacon Reese will begin ministering in parishes in central and southern Indiana, another step in a winding spiritual journey for him and his family.
“I’m really excited about it,” said Deacon Reese, who was ordained to the diaconate on May 31. “I look forward to the adventure of it all.” (Page 3)
