Bishop of the Diocese of Memphis in Tennessee he bishops themselves . having been appointed by the Holy Spirit, are successors of the Apostles as pastors of souls. Together with the supreme pontiff and under his authority they are sent to continue throughout the ages the work of Christ, the eternal pastor.

Second Vatican Council Decree Concerning the Pastoral Office of Bishops in the Church, Christus Dominus, 2 Prelude Psalm 100 Knut Nystedt Make a joyful noise to the Lord! For the Lord is good; Serve the Lord with gladness! His steadfast love endures for ever Come into his presence with singing! and his faithfulness to all generations! Know that the Lord is God! He has made us, we are his people, Make a joyful noise to the Lord! and the sheep of his pasture. Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Go through his gates with thanksgiving, Know that the Lord is good, enter his courts with praise! his love endures forever, Give thanks to him, bless his name! and his faithfulness to all generations! Text: Psalm 100. Music: Knut Nystedt. Variations on an Original Theme, Op.36, Variation IX: Adagio Edward Elgar Strengthen for Service Leo Nestor Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands Lord, may the tongues which 'Holy' sang That holy things have taken; Keep free from all deceiving; Let ears that now have heard thy songs The eyes which saw Thy love be bright To clamor never waken. Thy blessèd hope perceiving. Feet that have tread Thy holy courts From light do thou not banish; The bodies by Thy body fed With Thy new life replensih. Text: Syriac Liturgy of Malabar (5th century).

  • General History the Diocese of Vincennes—Now the Archdiocese of Indianapolis—Was Established by Pope Gregory XVI on May 6, 1834
    General History The Diocese of Vincennes—now the Archdiocese of Indianapolis—was established by Pope Gregory XVI on May 6, 1834. The territory then comprised the entire state of Indiana and the eastern third of Illinois. The latter was separated from the Diocese of Vincennes upon the establishment of the Diocese of Chicago, November 28, 1843. By decree of Pope Pius IX, January 8, 1857, the northern half of the state became the Diocese of Fort Wayne, the boundaries being that part of the state north of the south boundaries of Fountain, Montgomery, Boone, Hamilton, Madison, Delaware, Randolph, and Warren counties. The remaining southern half of the state made up the Diocese of Vincennes, embracing 50 counties. It covered an area of 18,479 square miles extending from the north boundaries of Marion and contiguous counties to the Ohio River and from Illinois on the west to Ohio on the east. The second bishop of Vincennes was permitted by apostolic brief to establish his resi- dence at Vincennes, Madison, Lafayette, or Indianapolis; Vincennes was, however, to remain the see city. This permission, with the subtraction of Lafayette, was renewed to the fourth bishop. Upon his appointment in 1878, Bishop Francis Chatard, the fifth bishop of Vincennes, was directed to fix his residence at Indianapolis. Although the site of the cathedral and the title of the see were continued at Vincennes, Bishop Chatard used St. John the Evangelist Parish in Indianapolis as an unofficial cathedral until the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul was completed in 1907. St. John the Evangelist Parish, established in 1837, was the first parish in Indianapolis and Marion County.
