Cardinal-designate Tobin will say ‘thank you’ to archdiocese with Dec. 3 Mass and reception

Archbishop Joseph W. TobinWhen Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin learned on Oct. 9 that Pope Francis had named him as one of 17 new cardinals, he quickly thought of the impact that the people of the archdiocese have had on his life. “I want to be able to say thank you to the people for helping make me who I am,” said the cardinal-designate, stressing how pleased he was that Pope Francis was allowing him to continue as the spiritual leader of the Church of central and southern Indiana. Cardinal-designate Tobin will be sharing his gratitude with the people of the archdiocese in a special celebration on Dec. 3, a celebration that will begin with a Mass at 11 a.m. in SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. Dec. 3 is also the feast day of St. Francis Xavier, principal patron of the archdiocese. (Page 1)

Six brothers enter more deeply into family, faith through the priesthood

Priests who are brothersWhen Father Anthony Hollowell became a priest on June 25 this year, he filled out three sets of brothers who have been ordained priests for the Archdiocese of Indianapolis since 2009. All priests share a common brotherhood in their deep bond of ordained life and ministry. Fathers Anthony and John Hollowell, David and Doug Marcotte and Andrew and Benjamin Syberg experience it at an even deeper level as brothers. And they hope their witness will deepen the faith of archdiocesan Catholics, and encourage them to make their families the seed bed of future vocations. (Page 1)
