Explosive drum beats and the trembling drone of a ceremonial gong welcomed about 500 Vietnamese- Greg Otolski Photos by Americans to St. Rita Church in Indianapolis on Nov. 18 for a Mass in honor of Vietnamese martyrs. The Mass, which was sponsored by the archdiocesan Vietnamese Apostolate, drew Vietnamese-Americans from throughout the Midwest, including Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati. “In Vietnamese tradition, ancestor honoring is not only a tradition, but also a respected duty,” said Divine Word Father Joseph D. Vu, director of the Vietnamese Apostolate. Although Nov. 24 is the official day on the Church calendar when the Vietnamese martyrs are remem- bered, Father Vu said Nov. 18 was the best day for so many people from different cities to gather in Indianapolis. During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries in Vietnam, an estimated 130,000 Christians were killed for their faith—many were strangled or decapitated. In 1998, Pope John Paul II canonized 117 of the martyrs. Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein, who concelebrated the Mass, said in his homily that suffering and tragedy, Above: A group of Vietnamese boys from St. Louis per- such as the suffering experienced throughout history by form a “dragon dance”during a reception for the people the Vietnamese and the terrorist attacks on the United who attended a Mass honoring Vietnamese martyrs on States on Sept. 11, can be a catalyst for bringing people Nov. 18 at St. Rita Church in Indianapolis.

He said the humble faithfulness of Vietnamese Catholics throughout history and their culture’s emphasis on family are an inspiration to all people. The archbishop asked those attending the Mass to remember during the Thanksgiving holiday to give thanks to God for our faith and the Church. He said it is important to always give thanks to God in good times and bad. “Like the Vietnamese martyrs, we can be a people of Left: Girls from the archdiocesan Vietnamese Apostolate hope,” Archbishop Buechlein said. “Let us resolve to perform a traditional Vietnamese dance during a Mass in strengthen our habit of daily prayer as we approach honor of Vietnamese martyrs.

By David Snyder CRS photo JALOZAI, PAKISTAN (CRS)—The residents of the Jalozai refugee camp need no reminders of the coming winter. On a barren plain in northern Pakistan, its pres- ence—and the fear it generates among the 60,000 people who crowd there—is almost tangible. “What money we brought with us from Afghanistan is finished,” one man explained. “Now we are very worried about the winter.” The Jalozai camp, located about 45 miles from the Afghan border in Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier Province, provides one of the few visible reminders of the enormity of the crisis unfolding in this region. With Pakistan’s border still closed, the estimated 1.5 million people displaced within Afghanistan remain, as yet, largely unseen. The United Nations and many aid agencies working in the region are forced to admit that they know little about the numbers, condition or specific needs of those now reported to be crowding the Afghan border. But with winter approaching, the same organizations work frantically to establish refugee camps in northern An Afghan child eats a piece of bread at a refugee camp in Jalozai, Pakistan, in October.

Who do you trust with your heart?

Heart disease can be complicated by other serious health problems. It’s often necessary to treat more than the cardiovascular system. Which means the cardiovascular facility you select should also offer more.

The IU School of Medicine and its world-renowned Krannert Institute of Cardiology have aligned with the clinical leadership of Methodist Heart Institute to form The Clarian Cardiovascular Center. This is the core, but only the beginning of care.

The Clarian Cardiovascular Center offers comprehensive care in a full service hospital environment – “a heart hospital within a hospital.” Patients here have immediate access to medical care from a complete group of specialists who are down the hall – not across town, or even further.

Now, there are choices all around you. And complicated medical conditions add To access the physicians and resources of The Clarian Cardiovascular weight to the question: who do you trust with your heart? The answer is here.
