Historical marker honors Little Sisters’ 144 years of devotion and care for elderly poor in Indiana
Along a portion of East Vermont Street in the historic Lockerbie district of downtown Indianapolis, a 120-year-old red brick wall embraces modern-day condominiums. Patti Horrigan, age 89 “and three-quarters,” reminisced as she gazed at the wall on the morning of May 20. Her reflection took her back to 1936, when her father had arranged for her Girl Scout troop to tour the building that then existed behind the wall. That building was the Home for the Aged, where the Little Sisters of the Poor cared for impoverished men and women ages 60 and older regardless of race, religion or ethnicity. (Page 1)

Archdiocesan administrator issues decree on former Indianapolis parish
Msgr. William F. Stumpf, archdiocesan administrator, has decreed that the property that belonged to the former
St. Bernadette Parish in Indianapolis be sold. In the terminology of the Church’s Code of Canon Law, this is referred to as “relegation to profane but not sordid use.” This decision, which is in keeping with the limited authority of Msgr. Stumpf’s position as archdiocesan administrator, was made after he consulted with the archdiocesan College of Consultors and Finance Council. (Page 10)
