Pastoral needs assessment will help introduce archdiocese to new shepherd
Catholics across central and southern Indiana are waiting for Pope Francis to appoint a new shepherd. To prepare for his arrival, archdiocesan Catholics are being given the opportunity to give him a clear and detailed portrait of the archdiocese and to express their hopes for its future. This will happen through the creation of a pastoral needs assessment of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The assessment was commissioned by Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, archbishop of Indianapolis from 2012-16 in the days before he was installed on Jan. 6 as archbishop of Newark, N.J. (Page 1)

Schools cross boundaries and comfort zones to come together to learn from each other
What Michelle Tuttle set in motion on Feb. 1 is rare and possibly unique in the archdiocese. It also may offer a lesson for a country that seems to be ever more divisive, focusing on the differences between people instead of the hopes, dreams and similarities that connect them. And so on the morning of Feb. 1, a nervous and hopeful Tuttle—and the 492 students at St. Jude School in Indianapolis—waited for the school buses that would bring the 270 kindergarten-through eighth-grade students of St. Philip Neri School in Indianapolis to their school for the day.

Marian University to offer transfer assistance to Saint Joseph’s College students
Marian University in Indianapolis is vowing to assist students at Saint Joseph’s College after the board of trustees at the northern Indiana school voted on Feb. 3 to suspend operations for the 2017-18 school year due to financial concerns. In trying to help students at Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Marian officials are offering what they call a “seamless transfer process,” including financial assistance that will guarantee that students will pay the same out-of-pocket tuition that they are now paying currently.
