Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein celebrates 25 years as a bishop
March 2 is a special day in the priesthood of Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein. It will mark his 25th anniversary as a bishop. On March 2, 1987, Archbishop Buechlein was ordained and installed as Bishop of Memphis. Five years later, in a homecoming of sorts, he was appointed Archbishop of Indianapolis. He was installed as archbishop here on Sept. 9, 1992. To celebrate his 25 years as a bishop of the Church, The Criterion has produced a two-page photo essay to reflect some of the ways in which Archbishop Emeritus Buechlein has ministered to people of faith throughout his priesthood. (Pages 1, 8 and 9)

Making a difference is at the heart of Saint Theodora winners' approach to teaching
Nearly everyone knows or remembers a teacher whose care and influence made a difference in their life. Many difference-making qualities are evident in the five teachers from across the archdiocese who were honored on March 1 as the winners of the 2011-12 Saint Theodora Excellence in Education Award by the archdiocesan Office of Catholic Education—Vicki Auger, Mary Briscoe, Stephen Buell, Patricia Musgrave and Lisa Vogel. See a glimpse of each of the winners and their defining approaches to Catholic education.

Lenten Resources
Each year, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis provides special Lenten resources – the daily readings, archbishop’s columns, Stations of the Cross and links of interest – on a site located on our server (www.archindy.org/lent). We encourage you to share this link with others, most particularly because it also includes the full listing of penance schedules from around the archdiocese.
