Available Right NowArchbishop-designate Thompson’s ‘whirlwind’ month concludes with receiving pallium from Pope FrancisThe smile from Pope Francis changed everything for Archbishop-designate Charles C. Thompson. As he approached the Holy Father on June 29 in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican, Archbishop-designate Thompson was still reeling from “the whirlwind effect” of being appointed by the pope on June 13 to lead the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Still, the archbishop-designate tried to savor everything surrounding the approaching moment when Pope Francis would give him a pallium—a woolen band worn over the shoulders that symbolizes his new, closer connection with the pope and his responsibility as the shepherd who will lead the Church in central and southern Indiana.

Web-only featuresPope invites people to share views on young people, vocationsConsider it a heartfelt invitation from Pope Francis. The pope has extended the invitation as the Church prepares for a meeting of the Synod of Bishops on young people, the faith and vocational discernment in October 2018. In a letter to young people earlier this year, Pope Francis noted, “The Church wishes to listen to your voice, your sensitivities and your faith, even your doubts and your criticism. Make your voice heard, let it resonate in communities, and let it be heard by your shepherds of souls.” As part of that invitation, young people—and actually all Catholics and non-Catholics—are asked to share their thoughts on a survey that is available in the archdiocese through the website. |
