Sharing the journey: Latest ‘great American story’ highlights mentor’s commitment to refugee family
For nearly an hour, the young man stood anxiously by the exit of Concourse B at Indianapolis International Airport. Holding a bouquet of red roses, he repeatedly strained to see down the long corridor, waiting and hoping for his family to appear. Finally—at last!—he saw them in the distance, and all his anxiety and tension disappeared as his face burst into a smile. For the young man nicknamed “Alo” and his family, it was a long-awaited moment of thanksgiving. Ever since 2001 when their family fled their homeland of Sudan as refugees, they’ve held the dream of coming to the United States to start a new life—one without fear, one with freedom. (Page 1)

Corrections Ministry conference promotes collaboration, compassion
With a steady, even voice, Misty Wallace related the worst day of her life. On Oct. 18, 1992, at the age of 18, she stopped in a parking lot on the southwest side of Indianapolis to use a pay phone. Moments after hanging up, a stranger shot her in the head, took her purse and left her for dead. Wallace recounted the attack, a miraculous recovery and her struggle for emotional healing to about 100 people gathered at St. Bartholomew Parish in Columbus on Oct. 28 during an archdiocesan conference titled “Corrections: A Ministry of Hope & Salvation.” Her audience, previously unaware of her experience, first expressed shock then sympathy.

Knights, Ladies of St. Peter Claver celebrate 70 years of faith
Members of the Knights of Peter Claver and its Ladies Auxiliary were encouraged to follow their namesake’s example of displaying conviction as they live out their lives of faith in service to others. Archbishop Charles C. Thompson offered that encouragement in his homily during an Oct. 22 Mass at St. Rita Church in Indianapolis celebrating the 70th anniversary of the parish’s Knights of Peter Claver and Ladies Auxiliary (St. Rita Council #97 and Christ the King Court #97). “St. Peter Claver, referring to himself as the ‘slave of slaves forever’ … displayed incredible conviction in carrying forth his mission to the poor, the vulnerable, the mistreated, and those cast aside by society,” the archbishop said.
