Evans

Saint Meinrad Archabbey and School of Theology in St. Meinrad recently unveiled a bold, new five-year financial campaign. Their goal is that people will answer “The Call of Saint Meinrad,” the campaign theme, and pledge at least $40 million to the nearly 150-year-old Benedictine institution. The campaign announcement was made during a gala event on Oct. 4 in which 250 alumni, friends, co-workers and Benedictine monks attended Mass and a dinner with Benedictine Archabbot Lambert Reilley, Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein—a Benedictine monk himself—and Evansville Bishop Gerald A. Gettelfinger. As of Oct. 4, Saint Meinrad has garnered $23.3 million. The funds raised will be spent on building projects ($21 million), endowments ($9 million) and day-to-day opera- tions ($10 million). “In recent years, Saint Meinrad has faced several significant challenges, but has remained a vibrant community of faith and service,” Archabbot Lambert said. Seminary enrollment has been up and men continue to choose the monastic lifestyle at Saint Meinrad. The archabbot said that Saint Meinrad remains sound. Still, after a prayerful and serious planning process, a master plan for the archabbey was devised that called for the new campaign. “For the monastery itself, ‘The Call’ is a long-term plan for sustaining the work, prayer and community of monks,” Archabbot Lambert said. “For the School of Theology, it is a strategy for the continuation and enhancement of ministry—the initial and ongoing formation of priests, perma- nent deacons and lay ministers—a mission that has never been more critical than it is today.” More than 12,000 students have studied at Saint Meinrad, and of them, 3,750 are priests. Among the alumni there is one cardinal, 22 bishops and 25 abbots. The archabbey reaches out to others, though, beyond academics and religious. “For Saint Meinrad’s dedication to providing hospitality and spiritual renewal for all those in need,” the archabbot said, “the plan includes necessary facility and grounds enhancement to attract and serve an even wider number of seekers.” Saint Meinrad has already completed two projects asso- ciated with the campaign—renovation of St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel, which serves students, faculty, staff and guests for daily Mass and morning prayer, and renovations to part of Benet Hall. There is much more to come. Sherwood Hall, a student residence hall, will be renovated, as will the continuing education facilities. A new guesthouse will be built and a new Physical Fitness and Lifelong Wellness Center will be created from renovated and new space. Money will be spent on the youth and vocations programs, the Youth Liturgical Leadership Program and the Church Leadership Center. Funds will also be directed toward increasing faculty salaries and benefits, enhancing the library collection and classroom technology, and continuing to provide quality medical and long-term care for the monks. The archabbey, which is one of only two in the United States, currently has 113 monks. It was raised to the status of archabbey in 1954 by Pope Pius XII to honor Saint Meinrad’s role in founding other abbeys in the United States. “For a century and a half, Saint Meinrad has been dedi- cated to seeking God and serving his Church in numerous, vital, relevant ways, not for our own glory but for God’s,” Archabbot Lambert said. He recalled the First Letter of Peter, who reminded Christians that they are “living stones.” “One stone along cannot build a house or temple,” the archabbot said. “But when God calls us to a task, he also calls others to work with us. And together, our individual efforts are multiplied, and great accomplishments are achieved.” † Page 4 The Criterion Friday, October 24, 2003

Youthful and energetic when he greeted the world on Oct. 16, 1978, the 83-year- old pontiff had to be wheeled on a chair to the altar and struggled to pronounce the Mass prayers. In a sermon read in part by an aide, the pope alluded to his physical difficulties and asked for continued prayers and support from Catholics all over the globe. He said that, aware of his “human fragility,” he meditated daily over his ability to meet the demands of the papacy. “I renew, through the hands of Mary, beloved mother, the gift of myself, in the present and the future: All will be accomplished according to your will,” he said in a prayer to Christ, the Church’s “good shepherd.” More than 250 cardinals and bishops from more than 120 countries concelebrated with the pope. Most of them have taken office under Pope John Paul and helped him shape the modern Church. Addressing the pope, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, dean of the College of Pope John Paul II celebrates Mass marking the 25th anniversary of his election on Oct. 16 in St. Peter’s Square.
