‘We will build on the incredible foundation’: Archbishop-designate Charles C. Thompson of Evansville will be installed on July 28

Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Charles C. Thompson of Evansville as the seventh archbishop of Indianapolis. The appointment was announced on June 13 at the Vatican and in Washington. That same day, Archbishop-designate Thompson spoke to priests, deacons, religious and laity from across central and southern Indiana about his appointment during a press conference at the Archbishop Edward T. O’Meara Catholic Center in Indianapolis on the eve of the start of the spring general assembly of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in Indianapolis. (Page 1)

Reactions confirm Archbishop-designate Thompson as ‘perfect fit’

The crowd may have numbered around 300, but the reaction seemed unanimous: new Archbishop-designate Charles C. Thompson will be a “perfect fit” as the new spiritual leader of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. From lay persons, priests and staff members of the Diocese of Evansville, Ind., to the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, reaction to the news of the new archbishop-designate was positive and hopeful.

Twenty-one men to be ordained permanent deacons on June 24

It was nine years ago that 25 men from central and southern Indiana were ordained as the first class of permanent deacons in the history of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. In the time since, the diaconate has become an ordinary part of the life of the Church in the archdiocese, with 16 more being ordained in 2012. Permanent deacons ordained in other dioceses have also moved to the archdiocese and ministered in some parishes. On June 24, 21 men will be ordained as the archdiocese’s third class of permanent deacons in a Mass beginning at 10 a.m. at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. (Page 2)
