Jack Byrne, Catholic Relief Services’ country representative to Pakistan, said the aid effort has been hampered because bridges and roads have been washed away by monsoon rains and the ensuing floods since late July. The floods that started in the northern part of the country have generally followed the Indus River, moving southward to Sindh and Punjab provinces. In parts of northern provinces where floodwaters have receded, people are returning and “are having a hard time identifying where they lived,” Byrne said. “People are still on the move in and around Sindh,” Byrne told Catholic News Above, Megan Gardner of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Indianapolis Service from his office in Islamabad, the cares for a newborn baby that was brought to a medical clinic in Peru, capital, on Aug. 17. “Thousands are just where Megan served as a volunteer this summer. living on the road.” Hundreds of thousands of people Right, Kelly Gardner of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Indianapolis hugs displaced by the floods have made their 8-year-old Gabriela, a girl who is part of the host family that Kelly and way to the major cities of Karachi and her sister, Megan, stayed with during a medical trip to Peru.

For several years, the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis have gone on a pilgrimage together shortly before they return to their

seminaries for another year of priestly formation. Sean Gallagher Photos by They have usually traveled to historic churches or shrines in the archdiocese to pray at places where some of the first Catholics in central and southern Indiana came to worship. This year, archdiocesan vocations director Father Eric Johnson instead arranged for the seminarians to visit a number of programs operated by Catholic Charities Indianapolis. Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein accompanied the 24 seminarians on part of their Aug. 11 trip. “It’s another way of informing them of the mission of charity,” Archbishop Buechlein said. “A priest is, in some ways, a mediator not only of the sacraments and proclaiming the Word, but also in inspiring people in the mission of charity.” Archbishop Buechlein reflected on the connection of priestly Seminarian Joshua Cole, a member of St. Vincent de Paul Parish in ministry and the work of charity after the seminarians heard a Bedford, looks at a toy on display in the Christmas Store, a program of presentation on Catholic Charities Indianapolis’ Refugee Catholic Charities Indianapolis that helps parents in need give Christmas Resettlement program. gifts to their children.

Yet even that remarkable moment wouldn’t compare to what happened the next day when the young father walked into the clinic looking fearful and frazzled.

Reaching out, connecting lives “He was wearing a brightly colored poncho, and we hear this baby crying but we can’t see it,” Megan recalls. “He lifts up the poncho, and the baby is crying and screaming. He told the nurse, ‘My wife isn’t doing well. She was too tired to make the trip.’ The mother gave birth at their house, and he was bringing the baby to get vaccinations. He had walked about 10 hours. It was absolutely amazing the baby was alive.” After a nurse fed the baby, the sisters helped her clean the infant. When the nurse left to get the vaccinations, the baby started crying. Megan picked up the tiny girl and tried to calm her as the father watched. When the nurse returned, she asked the father for the money to pay for the vaccinations. He said he didn’t have any money. The nurse told him she couldn’t give the baby the vaccinations unless he could pay. Kelly and Megan watched the interaction in disbelief. They didn’t have any money with them, having left their cash Above, Megan and Kelly Gardner pose for a photo during a meal at the home of their host family miles away.
