Available Right NowHumanity, humility and even humor mark lives of six men in their first year as priestsThe emergency phone call came late at night, during his first weekend of his first year as a parish priest in the archdiocese. For the briefest of moments, an already exhausted and overwhelmed Father Matthew Tucci debated whether to pick up the ringing phone. “I was tired,” recalls Father Tucci, associate pastor of St. Christopher Parish in Indianapolis. “But then I realized it was probably an emergency call. ‘Here we go,’ I thought.” Father Tucci is one of six men who were ordained to the priesthood in the archdiocese on June 25, 2016. As they marked the completion of their first year as priests, they were asked by The Criterion to share their defining moments and impressions from that pivotal year.

Thompson’s ministry to the Church in central and southern Indiana will be held the last week of July. Two of the events--a solemn Evening Prayer and a Mass in New Albany--are open to the public. Due to the large number of people that need to be accommodated, seating for the Installation Mass on July 28 will be by invitation only, although it will be streamed live on the archdiocesan website.

They were the inaugural class of the new, weeklong Missionary Disciples Institute on June 12-17 hosted by the staff of the university. The goal of the camp, which was funded by a grant from the Lilly Endowment, is to equip young people with the theological knowledge and practical skills necessary to become ministers in their own communities.
