Because of the many peo- ple who wanted to participate in the ordination ceremony, we had to schedule two separate ordina- tions—June 1 and June 29. But more important Archbishop Daniel M. than the number Buechlein, O.S.B. of new priests is the generous and dedicated spirit with which they approached the altar to present themselves to do God’s work in priestly service to you. These men understand that prayer for and with the Church is a priority in their ministry. As a recent Vatican doc- ument on the Liturgy of the Hours (Prot. No. 2330/00/L) states: “The sacramental ordination confers on the deacon and on the priest a special office to lift up to the one and triune God praise for His goodness, for His sover- eign beauty, and for His merciful design for our supernatural salvation. Along with praise, priests and deacons present before the Divine Majesty a prayer of intercession so as to worthily respond to the spiritual and temporal necessities of the Church and all humanity.” Our new priests-elect also Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein stands with the three men he ordained to the priesthood on June 29: Fathers Harold Rightor (from left, front), Christiaan recognize their need for solitary prayer Kappes and Justin Martin. Behind them are the five men that were ordained on June 1: Fathers Eric Johnson (from left), John McCaslin, Robert Hankee, See PRIESTS, page 10 Todd Goodson and Joseph Feltz. Archbishop Buechlein tells new priests to follow example of Indiana’s first bishop By Brandon A. Evans

“I bind unto myself today the strong name of the Trinity,” sang members of the Archdiocesan Choir at the Ordination New Albany couple named Mass of Fathers Christiaan Kappes, Justin co-chairs of the 2002-2003 Martin and Harold Rightor. “I bind unto myself today, the power of Parish Stewardship and God to hold and lead, God’s eye to watch, United Catholic Appeal. God’s might to stay, God’s ear to hearken Page 3 to my need.” These words resounded through the massive nave of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis on June 29 as the three men walked toward the altar of the Lord—toward their eternal calling. “The wisdom of our God to teach; God’s hand to guide, God’s shield to ward; the word of God to give me speech, God’s angel near to be my guard.” The ordinands, once drawn near to the raised sanctuary, would not leave the holy place as the same men. By the imposition of the hands of Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein, the souls of the three deacons would be con- figured to Christ forever. June 29 would be the beginning of their unique sacra- mental life. “It’s a beautiful day, it’s a wonderful thing that we celebrate, that we do here,” Archbishop Buechlein said. The day was made even more unique Photo by John Starkey Photo by in that it was the feast day of SS.

How much more enjoyable would life be if you weren’t limited by chronic hip or knee pain?

St.Vincent asks because we’ve helped thousands of patients regain their freedom of movement

through hip and knee replacement surgery. In fact, we’re Indiana’s premier provider of total joint

replacements. And now with our new Center for Joint Replacement, we’re building on our 30 years

of experience by enhancing our procedures and surgical facilities. We also lead in patient education.

To find out if joint replacement is for you, register for one of our free monthly education classes by

calling 317-338-CARE (2273).
