nniversary Masses for Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein were the Afocus of activities celebrating his 10 years in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The archbishop celebrated Masses at Holy Rosary Church and SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, both in Indianapolis, on Aug. 20 and 29, and at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church in New Albany on Aug. 27 to mark his tenure in the archdiocese. During the Mass in New Albany, the archbishop thanked God for the blessings bestowed on the archdiocese and spoke about how Christ’s words on the cross are for everyone to answer. “Ours is the call to respond to the ‘I thirst’ of Jesus himself wherever we are on life’s journey,” he said.

Dinner sponsored by the Knights of Columbus of Indiana Wyand MaryPhotos by Ann District 27 on Aug. 19 at St. Mary Parish in North Vernon. The 6-month-old daughter of St. Mary parishioners Anthony and Traci Yoder of North Vernon enjoyed the attention she received during the festive dinner and pro- gram. Seymour Deanery priests who were honored guests at the dinner also enjoyed this opportunity to sit back, relax and talk with friends from the parishes they serve in central and southern Indiana. “I think you’ve already done one of the most important things that you can do—and continue to do—and that is to pray for the archbishop and pray for all of us priests,” Msgr. Joseph F. Schaedel, vicar general, told the capacity crowd at the St. Mary Parish Center. “I think I can speak for all of my brother priests here on the stage when I say that we’re really over- whelmed at the number of people that are here Above, Msgr.

It’s great to see the continued love, respect and confidence that you must have in our priests.” At left, Fathers C. Ryan McCarthy, left, and St. Bartholomew parishioner Walter Glover of Columbus, Thomas Schliessmann check their schedules chaplain and director of mission services at St. Vincent after the dinner. Jennings Hospital in North Vernon, was the keynote speaker. Glover described a typical day in the busy life of a priest, which routinely begins early in the morning and often ends late at night, and asked people to remember their selfless sacrifice to God, the Church and the people of God. A good way to do that, he said, is to regularly offer them thanks and encouragement in the form of cards, letters, tele- phone calls, personal conversations and dinner invitations. “In Acts, in the New Testament of the Bible, it’s very clear that we are to mutually encourage one another,” Glover said. “We need to follow that biblical standard in terms of priests.” Glover said Father Joseph Moriarty, vocations director for the archdiocese, explained that seminarians must com- plete four years of undergraduate collegiate study and four years of graduate-level theological study to earn a master’s of divinity degree and become eligible for ordination to the priesthood. Priests spend as many years in college as physicians do, Glover said, but the level of compensation is much, much less. Yet they still said ‘yes’ to God’s call out of love for him and a desire to serve others. “The priesthood is a tough job,” he said. “In the Indianapolis Archdiocese, there are 134 active diocesan and order priests for 39 counties. In the United States, there are 42,000 priests, and that’s about the equivalent of the popula- tion of Bartholomew County. This brings a new meaning to John’s Gospel about shepherds and sheep. We sheep vastly outnumber our shepherds.” For these and many other reasons, Glover said, it’s important to remember to thank our priests as the Knights of Columbus have done with this clergy appreciation Knights of Columbus from Indiana District 27 present the colors during the Clergy Appreciation Dinner for priests from the Seymour dinner. † Deanery on Aug. 19 at the St. Mary Parish Center in North Vernon.

He said that everyone could respond to Christ’s call, whether as a priest, reli- gious, married or single person. Priests embrace the mystery of their priesthood to answer Christ’s call, he said. Married people respond to one another out of love, regardless of the cir- cumstances they meet on their married road, and single people respond to Christ by their baptism, which continues to be their “yes” to Christ. After the anniversary events, Arch- bishop Buechlein received well wishes from clergy, religious and parishioners.

Teen-ager Geoffrey Mooney had par- ticular thoughts about the archbishop’s anniversary. “I think he does a good job with the youth,” Mooney, 15, a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in New Albany, said. “He always tells us our part in the Catholic Church today.
