Newlyweds experience once-in-a-lifetime encounter with Pope Francis on Italy trip
As they prepared for their trip to Italy to try to get a special blessing of their marriage from Pope Francis, Scott and Elisabeth Williams kept telling each other that it would be fine if their plan didn’t turn out as they hoped. After all, their wedding at St. Luke the Evangelist Church in Indianapolis on May 28 had been a magical day—a day, Elisabeth says, when “everything came together so beautifully, and I was getting to marry the love of my life.” And no matter what happened with the pope, the couple would still have a week together in Rome. Yet deep in their hearts, Scott and Elisabeth both thought it would be tremendous to experience a long-standing, wedding-related tradition at the Vatican. (Page 1)

Stay connected to each other and to Jesus, Archbishop Tobin encourages educators
It’s a story of grace, perspective and humility—a story that Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin shared during a special Mass on Sept. 7 when several people from across the archdiocese were honored for their service in Catholic education, youth ministry and catechesis. As he began his homily two days after Labor Day, Archbishop Tobin looked at the people in SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis and asked, “What would you name as the greatest moment of your summer?” The archbishop then shared the story of his own answer to that question—a story that unfolded on “a steamy afternoon at the end of July” as he entered the guest house in Vatican City where Pope Francis lives.

God specializes in second chances, NCCW speaker says
At an early age, she suffered sexual abuse. As a senior in high school, she lost her mother without warning to a heart attack. She spiraled into drug and alcohol addiction, battled an eating disorder, “broke every commandment” and contemplated suicide. But on Sept. 9, the mother of four electrified an audience of hundreds in downtown Indianapolis with her personal witness to God’s abounding mercy. Judy Hehr, a Wisconsin resident and radio host, wanted those gathered for the annual National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW) convention to know that God specializes in second chances. (Page 2)
