Journey helps Catholics to focus on God by seeking silence amid the world’s noise
Holy men and women religious who devote their lives to God and prayer inspired Catholic pilgrims during the archdiocesan summer pilgrimage on Aug. 6-8 to three monasteries in southern Indiana and northern Kentucky. “It is good that we are here,” Msgr. Frederick Easton, spiritual director, told 53 pilgrims in his homily during an 8 a.m. Mass at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis before the three-day bus trip. One highlight of the first day of the pilgrimage was a visit with retired Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein at Saint Meinrad Archabbey’s Church of Our Lady of Einsiedeln in St. Meinrad.

Youth involvement in music at Mass creates high notes for all parishioners

But at this Mass, no traditional hymns are heard. Instead, everyone follows the lead of a teenaged guitar player. As he strums his guitar, everyone claps in a lively rhythm that resonates off the old stone walls. Similar to other celebrations of the Eucharist across the archdiocese, this youth Mass involving high school and college students seems to bring more energy and life to the church. (Page 16)
