Results from the nationwide referendum showed that 66.4 percent of citizens opted to remove the Eighth Amendment Bishop Brendan from the constitution, Leahy while 33.6 percent voted to retain it. Turnout was 64.5 percent. Voters inserted the original amendment in the constitution in 1983 by a margin of 2-1. The amendment “acknowledges the right to life of the unborn and, with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, guarantees in its laws to respect, and, as far as practicable, by its laws to defend and vindicate that right.” That text will now be deleted and replaced with an article stating that The 10 children of Jim and Ann Selby of St. Monica Parish in Indianapolis have been in Catholic schools across a span of 37 straight years—a span “provision may be made by law for the that will end on June 1 when their youngest child Jacob will graduate from Cardinal Ritter Jr./Sr. High School in Indianapolis.

Recent school shootings in Noblesville, Ind., on May 25; in Santa Fe, Texas, on May 18; and in Parkland, Fla., on Feb. 14, have understandably raised concerns of parents of students across the country about school safety. This is as true of parents of students in Catholic schools across central and southern Indiana as anywhere else. Mary McCoy, an assistant superintendent in the archdiocesan Office of Catholic Schools (OCS), says that school leaders across the archdiocese as well as her colleagues in OCS see advancing school safety as one of their principal tasks. “Our schools have always been safe and they continue to be safe,” McCoy said. “That’s always been a priority to us. It’s nothing new. We’re going to do whatever it takes to keep our kids safe.” Students at Father Thomas Scecina Memorial High School in Indianapolis sign a banner at the end The tasks included in doing whatever of a March 14 prayer service to honor the victims of a Feb. 14 school shooting in Parkland, Fla.
