Archbishop Tobin reflects on his historic selection as first cardinal to lead Archdiocese of Indianapolis

Cardinal-designate Joseph W. Tobin at his press conferenceThe shocking news led to an emotional phone call between a son and his proud mother. It also led Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin to think again of his late father, the man who continues to shape his life and his faith. And the widespread joy surrounding Pope Francis’ selection of Archbishop Tobin as one of 17 new cardinals on Oct. 9 also included an unexpected, fun moment. As the 64-year-old archbishop walked into his Indianapolis gym for a workout less than 24 hours after the pope’s announcement from the Vatican, he was greeted with congratulations and hugs from his fellow weightlifters. All those telling moments were shared during a conversation with The Criterion on Oct. 10. (Page 1)

Scott Hahn speaking at eventIn the principal archdiocesan celebration of the Holy Year of Mercy, some 800 Catholics from across central and southern Indiana and beyond gathered on Oct. 8 at St. Bartholomew Church in Columbus to learn about Mary and God’s mercy, pray the rosary, reflect on how they’ve received and given mercy, and consider how to share God’s compassion in the future. The Marian Jubilee featured a procession with a statue of Mary, a reflection by Cardinal-designate Joseph W. Tobin (see article on page 12) and two presentations by best-selling Catholic author and speaker Scott Hahn. The attendees came from 75 archdiocesan parishes and 13 from beyond the archdiocese.
