Items of Interest
Here are a few items that may be of particular interest to you -- and you can get them online right now!
Sung parts of new Mass translation can be used in archdiocesan parishes beginning in September
For approximately a year, parish leaders have known that the new translation of the Mass will be implemented starting on the weekend of Nov. 26-27, the first Sunday of Advent. But when the U.S. bishops met in June, they decided to give each diocese the option of using musical settings of some parts of the new translation beginning in September. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis has taken this option, and is allowing parishes to begin using new settings of the “Glory to God” and the eucharistic prayer acclamations. (Page 1)

‘Smooth’ romantic plan connects couple who have devoted their lives to children and youths
Ed Tinder admits that his initial effort to get the attention of the new, young, female teacher wasn’t exactly the smoothest move a guy has ever made in the cause of romance. Yet years later, Tinder can laugh at his self-described “stupid” plan for three reasons. First, he eventually won the heart of the woman—a blessing that continues considering that Ed and Kathy Tinder celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary in June. Second, as another school year begins, the couple will mark a combined 80 years of trying to make a faith-filled difference in the lives of children and young people. (Page 1)

Local young adults making pilgrimage to Spain for WYD...and blogging about it
Forty-one young adults from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the neighboring Diocese of Lafayette will be joining three priest chaplains on a pilgrimage to Madrid for World Youth Day from Aug. 13-22. During the pilgrimage, the young adults will participate in official World Youth Day events, including catechetical sessions, concerts, talks and a special Mass for U.S. pilgrims. The weeklong event culminates on Aug. 21 with a Mass celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI. Updates and photographs from the trip will be available throughout the week at a special blog.
