Archbishop notes wisdom, understanding needed to ‘proclaim the kingdom together’
The subject of the first reading on July 30—during a Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in New Albany—led to Archbishop Charles C. Thompson preaching about the young King Solomon’s request of God for “an understanding heart … to govern this vast people of yours” (1 Kgs 3:9). The timing of the subject seemed fitting, given the archbishop’s installation just two days prior as the youngest archbishop in the United States and the new shepherd of more than 221,000 Catholics in central and southern Indiana.

Challenging pilgrimage on ‘Notre Dame Trail’ salutes school’s spirit, founders and Blessed Mother
At 80, Holy Cross Brother Larry Stewart plans to walk and bike a 320-mile pilgrimage that is close to his heart and his faith—a journey that will honor the spirit of the Holy Cross men who traveled through Indiana during a brutal early winter 175 years ago to establish the University of Notre Dame. From Aug.13-26, Brother Larry hopes to participate in the entire pilgrimage that is being called the “Notre Dame Trail”—recalling a journey that began long ago in the Diocese of Vincennes, Ind., where the roots of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis started.

Parish celebrates unity as a ‘sign’ of the times
