Couples mark 50th anniversary during Golden Wedding Jubilee Mass with Archbishop Thompson
Many different stories led to 73 couples from southern and central Indiana walking down the aisle and saying “I do” 50 years ago. These couples celebrated their 50th anniversary this year in a special way on Aug. 27 at the annual archdiocesan Golden Wedding Jubilee Mass at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis. Together they represented 41 parishes, 3,650 years of marriage, 208 children, 406 grandchildren and 19 great‑grandchildren. The Mass, sponsored by the archdiocesan Office of Pro-Life and Family Life, was concelebrated by Fathers Eric Augenstein, Patrick Beidelman, Rick Ginther and Todd Riebe, with Archbishop Charles C. Thompson serving as the principal celebrant. (Page 1)

IndyCAN rally promotes budget that puts families first
More than 350 people gathered in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School, cheering in support and applauding with approval. The crowd was not there for sports, nor were they all Catholic. But they were unified at this public rally to support a common cause: standing in solidarity with the Indianapolis Congregation Action Network (IndyCAN) to promote a 2018 federal budget as a moral document that must put families first. The event, hosted by the Indianapolis east side parish on Aug. 30, “came about as faith leaders responded to the House budget proposal put forward this summer that included steep cuts in crucial social safety nets, while increasing investments in deportation and incarceration,” said Providence Sister Tracey Horan, who works for IndyCAN.
