General Announcements 

Archbishop Thompson to preside at Mass for those suffering with addictions on Aug. 14

Archbishop Charles C. Thompson will be the principal celebrant at the archdiocesan Substance Addiction Ministry (SAM) Mass at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, 1347 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis, at 7 p.m. on Aug. 14.

While SAM focuses on those addicted to substances such as alcohol and drugs, the Mass is for all who are impacted—those addicted as well as their families and members of the community—by any form of addiction, which is defined as “an illness that devastates the whole person physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually” (samscripts.org).

After the Mass, a reception and refreshments will be held in the parlor of the cathedral rectory.

For additional information, contact Brie Anne Eichhorn by calling 317-236-1543, or e-mailing beichhorn@archindy.org.
