Rare program transforms the lives and perspectives of Catholic high school students
If there is lasting magic about the high school years, it usually appears in the form of relationships—as strangers are transformed into close friends who understand each other, support each other and care about each other through good times and tough times.
Michelle Roberts coordinates Roncalli High School’s Certificate of Completion Program, an individualized program that allows students with intellectual disabilities—who wouldn't be able to receive a diploma—to have a Catholic high school experience. (Page 1)

Archdiocese sponsors Italy pilgrimage to witness Archbishop Tobin receive pallium on June 29
The Archdiocese of Indianapolis is sponsoring a pilgrimage to Italy from June 25 to July 2 to witness Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin receive his pallium--a symbol of his leadership as an archbishop--on June 29, the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. “The presence of faithful from the archdiocese at St. Peter’s on June 29 will be a beautiful sign of the hundreds of thousands of Catholics whom I am privileged to lead,” said Archbishop Tobin.

Lenten resources
Each year, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis provides special Lenten resources – the daily readings, archived columns from Archbishop Emeritus Daniel M. Buechlein, 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.
