‘So much more hope...’: First-time participants moved by their March for Life experience
The archdiocesan Young Adult and College Campus Ministry led a group of 50 participants on a pilgrimage to the March for Life in Washington on Jan. 25. For some, it was their first experience on a March for Life pilgrimage, which commemorates the anniversary of the devastating 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.
This story shares the experiences of first-time pilgrims Rikki Enzor, 26, a third-year medical student, and Dave Bibb, 70, a retired teacher. (Page 1)

Archbishop Tobin celebrates Masses in Bloomington and New Albany deaneries
Archbishop Joseph Tobin continued his tour of the archdiocese by celebrating Masses in both the Bloomington and New Albany deaneries: he was at St. Mary-of-the-Knobs Church in Floyd County on Jan. 29 and at St. John the Apostle Church in Bloomington on Jan. 31.
“I thought that Hoosier hospitality was just a bumper sticker,” he said at one of the Masses, “but it’s the real thing.” Archbishop Tobin was installed as the sixth archbishop of Indianapolis on Dec. 3 and is continuing to make visits to different areas of the archdiocese. (Pages 7 and 10)

Photos: Renovated seminary chapel a ‘study hall’ in which to seek ‘wisdom and light’
Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary moved in 2008 to the former Carmelite Monastery of the Resurrection, about a mile south of Marian University, where seminarians still take classes. Because of the growth of the seminary, its chapel, which had a seating capacity of 40 people, was renovated last summer. It can now seat 80 people. Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin blessed the renovated chapel during a Jan. 28 Mass at the seminary.
