Available Right Now360-degree images of church interiors being added to archdiocesan websiteTo increase the sense of community among the parishes of the Church in central and southern Indiana, The Criterion is beginning to add 360-degree images of the interior of archdiocesan churches to the archdiocesan website. The images can be viewed from either a computer or a smart phone. No special application (app) is required to view the images. To make sure that all archdiocesan churches in central and southern Indiana are represented, we invite parishioners and parish staff to take their own 360-degree image of their church’s interior and send them in.

He also told each of his children to check the CYO calendar before scheduling their wedding date. That combination of passion and purpose has marked the 46 years that Tinder has devoted to serving the children, youths and families of the archdiocese—the first nine years as a teacher and coach at Roncalli High School in Indianapolis, followed by his 37 years with the CYO. As the 68-year-old Tinder prepares to retire on June 16, The Criterion talked with him recently about his thoughts on the “tug of war” in youth sports, his advice to parents and coaches, his insights into why the CYO is so important to the archdiocese and the Church, and his joy in leading the organization.

Web-only featuresPhoto Gallery: Indiana Catholic Women's ConferenceMore than 600 women gathered for the Indiana Catholic Women's Conference -- themed “A Cloud of Witnesses” -- on March 25, which was also the Feast of the Annunciation. Between that feast and 2017 being the centennial anniversary of the Marian apparitions of Fatima, the topic of the event’s three talks and the homily naturally focused on the Blessed Mother—the foremost of all witnesses. See photos from the event or ready our coverage. Online survey for pastoral needs assessment available in English, Spanish and Burmese on May 1Beginning on May 1, Catholics across central and southern Indiana can complete an online survey to help provide whoever is appointed the new shepherd of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis a clear picture of the local Church. The survey, which will be available in Burmese, English and Spanish, is part of the archdiocesan pastoral needs assessment that Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin commissioned shortly before his ministry in the archdiocese ended and he was installed as the archbishop of Newark, N.J.
