www.archindy.org September 1, 2000 Vol. XXXIX, No. 47 50¢ Celebration in the Spirit of Hope: The Great Jubilee

My Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: n just two weeks, the Church in southern and central Indiana will gather for our major celebration of this IJubilee Year, “Celebration in the Spirit of Hope: The Great Jubilee.” Excitement is building throughout the archdiocese. Join us for this historic event. Our celebration will take place at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis on Saturday, Sept. 16, at 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). The dome is the largest facility available in our archdiocese, and we wanted to have room for everyone who wants to attend. During our gathering, we will celebrate the Eucharist, the sacrament of confirmation will be administered to more than 3,000 young people and adults, a Archbishop Daniel nuptial blessing will be given to all married M. Buechlein couples present, and we will all pray to the Holy Spirit to give us all the grace to carry out the evangelizing mission of the Church. The Great Jubilee Year, which marks the 2,000th anniversary of the birth of Jesus Christ, is a perfect time for us to gather as the Church in central and southern Indiana and to experi- ence the unity we share as sisters and brothers in the Lord. It is also a graced time, a time for us to witness to the larger community how the Good News of Jesus Christ has changed our lives and made us a hope-filled people. Please make plans now to join me, some 20 bishops from across the country and priests from our archdiocese who will be assist- ing in celebrating confirmation, and the religious and laity of our local Church as we gather as one family to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. Together, let us thank God for the extraordinary blessings our archdiocese has received in recent years and invoke the power of the Holy Spirit to help us reach out to inactive Catholics and to those who have no church home. I look forward to being with you on Sept. 16. Sincerely yours in Christ, Photo by Rob Banayote, Banayote Photography Inc. Photography Banayote Rob Banayote, Photo by Most Rev. Daniel M.

VATICAN CITY (CNS)—Decisions in the United States and Britain to open the way to therapeutic use of human embryos drew sharp condemnation from the Vatican and U.S. pro-life experts. The debate focused on using the embryos to obtain therapeutic stem cells, which can be used to treat diseases. Church leaders said that because the embryos are destroyed in the process, the techniques were immoral, unneces- sary and, in the United States, illegal as well. Vatican and U.S. Catholic leaders emphasized that the Church has no moral objection to stem-cell research using adult cells, which they said was a valid and overlooked alternative to the use of embryos. In the United States Aug. 23, the National Institutes of Health issued guidelines that lifted a moratorium on
