Annual women’s conference proves good ‘for the health of the family’
Julie Alumbaugh finished registering at the welcome desk just one minute before the start of the 13th annual Indiana Catholic Women’s Conference. Cradling her newborn, she slipped into the back of the 500 Ballroom of the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis, along with her twin sister and her mother. It was then that she glanced at the program materials and realized the theme of the conference was “The Sanctification of the Family.” She was among the nearly 700 women from central and southern Indiana—and beyond—to step away from their busy lives for a day of renewal and reflection. The conference included dynamic speakers, opportunities for adoration and reconciliation, and Mass across the street at historic St. John the Evangelist Church. (Page 1)

Solar panels offer unique model of stewardship
There was still a winter chill in the air, but the sun shone brightly upon the hilltop campus of St. John the Apostle Parish in Bloomington on March 15. A sunny day brings more than good moods at this church—sunshine also brings electricity. “The blessing of God’s creation [is] that the sun shines on this beautiful facility on top of this beautiful hill,” explained the parish’s pastor, Father Daniel Mahan, “and that with panels covering just part of the building, we’re able to take care of most of our electrical needs.” St. John the Apostle Parish just installed a photovoltaic system, more commonly known as a system of solar panels, which captures the sun’s rays and converts the energy into electricity to power its campus. As far as records show, this is the first system to be installed at a parish in the archdiocese. (Page 1)

New outreach, website helps address challenges of pornography
The archdiocese has started a new outreach—and a new website—to help people whose lives, marriages and families are being devastated by the use of pornography. “It’s ironic that something so devastating is also something that isn’t talked about a lot in many circles,” says Ken Ogorek, director of catechesis for the archdiocese. The archdiocese is taking a three-fold approach to helping people addicted to pornography, with all three approaches featured on the new website, www.archindy.org/myhouse. (Page 7)

Front Page Image Compilations
We've taken the past 13 years of Criterion issues from our print edition and made separate compilations of front page images. You can look at 2005-17 and see every front page from that year put into one picture -- kind of a birds-eye view of the year in Catholic news in Indiana.
