Archbishop Buechlein’s life always pointed to Christ and the Church

Archbishop Buechlein at a MassArchbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein died on Jan. 25 in the infirmary of Saint Meinrad Archabbey in St. Meinrad where he had lived since 2011. He was 79. During his 19 years of serving as shepherd of the Church in central and southern Indiana, he did what his episcopal motto proclaimed, “Seek the face of the Lord,” through his constant life of prayer and encouragement of others to pray, and in his promotion of Catholic education, vocations and stewardship as an integral part of the life of faith of all Catholics.

Archbishop reached out to the faithful through his columns

Archbishop Buechlein signing a bookEven though he never considered himself as a writer, Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein faithfully wrote a weekly column in The Criterion during his 19 years as the spiritual leader of the Church in central and southern Indiana. He viewed the effort as a way to help the people of the archdiocese in “Seeking the Face of the Lord,” the title he gave to his weekly column, a title that matched his approach to his life. “On a weekly basis, I hope to do some down-to-earth teaching myself, teaching which might offer encouragement, inspiration and also a challenge for the way we live our faith and seek the faith of the Lord together in central and southern Indiana,” he wrote in his first column to the people of the archdiocese on Sept. 18, 1992.
