Former Colts player shares three principles that guide his life, his faith and his family

Spirit of Service award winnersIn a moment, Joe Reitz would tell the story of his memorable first meeting with Peyton Manning to the audience at the archdiocese’s Spirit of Service Awards Dinner in Indianapolis. But first, the former Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman shared the story of one of the most difficult times of his life. It happened in early September of 2010. For two years, Reitz had been living the unlikely dream of being a former college basketball player who had made the transition to playing in the National Football League (NFL). Yet after being a member of the Baltimore Ravens, Reitz was cut from the team, leaving him feeling devastated that his career in the NFL was coming to an unexpected end. (Page 1)

Youth-designed retreat reminds teens they are ‘priceless’ to God

Women on retreatSometimes, simple ideas develop into grand projects. And sometimes, the result of such projects have a tremendous impact on others. Take Anna Scott, a 17-year-old‑member of St. Malachy Parish in Brownsburg. A simple “lock-in” idea she had for high school girls of the parish turned into a 24-hour ecumenical retreat reminding 27 young women of their infinite worth—not based on boyfriends or social status, but on their value in God’s eyes. She named the retreat “Priceless.” (Page 7)
