Cars and trucks sped by a busy section of West 16th Street in Indianapolis on Aug. 16 as Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein and several dozen pro-life sup- porters prayed the sorrowful mysteries of the rosary outside the Clinic for Women. Their prayers were directed to God and Mary on behalf of the unborn babies that die in the abortion clinic, formerly located on East 38th Street in Indianapolis. Voices raised in prayer, the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants continued their pro-life petitions led by the archbishop as a young couple climbed out of a car in the parking lot and approached the clinic door. Pro-life sidewalk counselors Patty Yeadon, a member of St. Joan of Arc Parish in Indianapolis, and Delores Tucker of Columbus offered pro-life literature to the young woman, but she declined the medical information about fetal develop- ment and went into the clinic.

Brandon Photos by Evans of the rosary that the archbishop espouses, and upon arriving in Vincennes got a tour of the rectory by Father John Schipp, the pastor of the Old Cathedral and a class- mate of the archbishop. The group celebrated Mass in the basil- ica, prayed Midday Prayer in the crypt below the sanctuary, perused the Old Cathedral Library and Museum, and toured the grounds. “It’s an opportunity for them to get in touch with the roots of the founding of the Church here in Indiana,” the archbishop said. “I think it’s important that they be rooted in the identity of the diocese which they seek to serve,” Father Moriarty said of the seminarians. Eric Hodde, a seminarian studying at Marian College and a member of St. Malachy Parish in Brownsburg, said that going to a place like Vincennes “gives you a sense of where you’re coming from—it gives you a sense of where the Church is coming from.” In any vocation, “history’s always a big part of having a better sense of where you need to be going and even how to get there,” he said. “In one sense,” Father Moriarty said, “before you know who you are and who it Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein and Father Joseph Moriarty, vocations director, stand with a statue of Bishop Simon Guillaume Gabriel Bruté de Rémur, the is God is calling you to be in the future, first bishop of Vincennes, in the Old Cathedral Library and Musuem, located on the grounds of the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier in Vincennes. Joining him you need to have a clear sense about what are archdiocesan seminarians Rick Nagel, from left, Phillip Baumer, Chris Wadelton, Jude Mulindwa, Tom Kovatch, Randall Summers, Aaron Jenkins, Zac you are about in the past.” Karanovitch, Eric Hodde, William Williams, Shaun Danda, Aaron Haag, Dustin Boehm and Shaun Whittington. In that way, it would benefit all Catholics in the archdiocese to make a day trip to Vincennes—and the archbishop has made it known that he would like to organize such a diocesan pilgrimage, open to anyone, sometime in the future. Jude Mulindwa, a seminarian studying at Saint Meinrad School of Theology in St. Meinrad and a member of St. Michael the Archangel Parish in Indianapolis, said that there is much to learn from the pio- neers of the diocese. “You learn from them, and then by learning from them you are able to adapt to the new challenges we have,” he said. Hodde said that after understanding their struggles, he looks differently at the struggles we face today. When the Diocese of Vincennes was created more than 169 years ago by Pope Gregory XVI, the man chosen to lead it was Bishop Simon Guillaume Gabriel Bruté de Rémur. With a diocese covering all of Indiana and part of Illinois, he had only three priests to help him—and one was on loan. But despite the tremendous difficulties, we know how the story ends, said the archbishop. The holiness of Bishop Bruté cooperated with God’s grace to pour life into the Catholic Church in Indiana. As the 10th successor to that first bishop, Archbishop Buechlein is aware of his connection to the history of the arch- diocese, and tries to imitate the virtue of his predecessor. As a young man growing up in Jasper, Ind., he was no stranger to Vincennes. “I would never have dreamed when I Archbishop Daniel M.

Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein consecrates wine during a Mass he celebrated at the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier in Vincennes during a seminarian pilgrimage on Aug. 13. The chalice that he used belonged to Father Benjamin Marie Petit, a dioce- san priest who died of illness in 1839 after serving a group of Potawatomi Indians who were forced at gunpoint to march from their Indiana home to Kansas. Many Indians—mostly children— died of typhoid fever on the way. It became known as the “Trail of Death.” A large crucifix and several old tombstones mark the spot of the cemetery of St. Francis Xavier, which is the final resting place of about 5,000 of the early inhabitants of the area, which included mostly French and Indian people.

Seminarian Rick Nagel looks at one of the exhibits in the Old Cathedral Library and Musuem, which houses Indiana religious artifacts on the grounds of the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier in Vincennes. The museum contains the oldest library in the state of Indiana—containing about 10,000 volumes, a good deal of which belonged to the first bishop of Vincennes, Bishop Simon Guillaume Gabriel Bruté de Rémur.

A statue of Father Pierre Gibault titled “Patriot Priest of the Old Northwest” stands in front of the Old Cathedral in Vincennes, now the Basilica of St. Francis Xavier. In 1778, Father Gibault persuaded the citizens of Vincennes to sign an oath of allegiance to the United States. In the front of the church above the doors are statues of St. Francis Xavier, St. Joan of Arc and St. Patrick.

A few other two-story homes also have crosses or favorite saints in full view. The homeowners say they decorate their windows as a way of telling the world what they believe. It’s also a means of carrying on an old Baltimore Catholic tradition at a time when fewer people seem willing to express their Catholic faith in such a public way, they said. “It lets people know that we love Jesus,” explained Helen Giusto, a 77-year-old member of Our Lady of Pompei Parish and an immigrant from Rome. Giusto usually keeps her statue of Mary in the window along with two small American flags. But when the statue is displaced by the air conditioner in the summer, she’ll occasionally place it atop the outside appliance. “I see kids on the street and I ask them if they know Jesus, and some of them say they never heard of him,” Giusto said. “I pray that this will help people get to know him.” Julie Ozarowski, a 78-year-old parishioner of St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parish in Highlandtown, said it La Serie del touches her heart to see people on the street stop and admire her window display which consists of a statue of Mary perched between red and white roses.
