students the beauty and mystery of art and faith. Photo by John Shaughnessy So when Siby Hill received a Teacher Creativity grant from Lilly Endowment in Indianapolis this year, she immediately made plans to study the Celtic crosses and other stone carvings that have captivated her for years—the crosses and carvings that have dotted the landscapes of Ireland and Scotland for at least 15 centuries. With her $8,000 grant, Hill even secretly dreamed of having her students at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis eventually create a Celtic cross. The 26-year-old art teacher believed a Celtic cross would be a natural addition for a Catholic school with the nick- name “Irish.” After all, for Irish Catholics, the Celtic cross is a symbol that blends faith, heritage and the belief in eternity. Yet amid the excitement and joy of her plans came devastating news just nine days after St. Patrick’s Day. One of her art students had died unexpectedly. The news rocked Hill and soon led her on a different journey—a journey that would bring her closer to the family of the student, a journey that would lead the family from the depths of heartbreak to the hope of healing, a journey that would show all of them the beauty and mystery of life and faith.

‘God brought us all together’ When Hill learned that Stephen McNulty died on March 26, the news devastated her. She immediately thought of how the 18-year-old senior at Cathedral Left, Jacque McNulty asks Ismaila “Izo” shared her passion for art.

By Sean Gallagher

NEW ALSACE—The future of the archdiocese reached back to the past during an Aug. 16 pilgrimage of 25 seminarians to two Batesville Deanery parishes that are more Photos By Sean Gallagher than 170 years old. Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein joined them and was the primary celebrant of a Mass celebrated at St. Paul Church in New Alsace. The Servant of God Simon Bruté, the first bishop of Vincennes, dedicated the church in 1838. “By the time he dedicated this church, Bishop Bruté was already suffering from tuberculosis,” Archbishop Buechlein said during his homily. “So I think it’s helpful to try to absorb what a man like him went through in order that we might have the faith handed down to us in our own day.” Before the Mass, Msgr. Harold Knueven, administrator of St. Mary Parish in Greensburg and a priest for almost 50 years, told the seminarians about the history of his home parish. “I was just a kid in an ordinary, small town,” he said. “[The seminarians] have come from various backgrounds and they can become priests just like I became a priest. I hope I was an inspiration to them and that I gave them the opportunity to see that I came from an ordinary family, an ordinary town.” Two of the archdiocese’s newest seminarians who participated in the pilgrimage are from small towns close to New Alsace. Daniel Bedel, a member of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Enochsburg, is a freshman at the Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary at Marian College in Indianapolis. “A tour of some of the things that Simon Bruté did is a great way to start off the seminary since I’m going to Simon Bruté Seminary,” he said. Jerry Byrd, a member of St. Louis Parish in Batesville, grew up just minutes away from St. Paul Parish but knew little of its history since he was raised as a Southern Baptist. “Everything that is hidden behind these doors I was taught was wrong,” said Byrd, who entered the full communion of the Church in 1998. “Coming in here and hearing the history of this parish, and it being only five or six minutes away from where I live, it’s pretty cool.” Byrd is beginning his priestly formation at Saint Meinrad School of Theology in St. Meinrad. Until recently, Byrd served as the youth minister at St. Louis Parish. Before that, he served as the youth minister at St. Joseph Parish in St. Leon and St. John the Baptist Parish in Dover. It was to the latter parish that the seminarians went after being hosted for lunch at St. Martin Parish in nearby At top, Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein, left, leads a praying of the rosary on Aug.

We’ve tried to address the issues right away to save the family.” As the family has been tested, the McNultys have also recognized the support and love of their extended family—from Cathedral to the larger Catholic community. We’ve gotten a lot of support from friends,” Jerry says. “And Father [Glenn] O’Connor, Father [Joseph] Riedman and Father [William] Munshower have been extremely helpful.” The McNultys have treasured and relied on that larger family just as they’ve treasured and relied on being involved in creating the Celtic cross. The cross is expected to be finished by the end of September. A dedication—unscheduled at this time—is planned for some time in October. “I’ll be in awe to see it standing,” Hill says. “I’ll be in awe of the power the Celtic cross conveys and the feeling it gives. It moves you.” She pauses and glances at the cross that’s being created by the efforts of her students, and by the love of Stephen’s family.
