Loving God and neighbor must be at foundation of beliefs, St. Thomas More Society members reminded at Red Mass
Scripture tells us that the greatest law is to love God and love your neighbor, Bishop Christopher J. Coyne, apostolic administrator, reminded St. Thomas More Society members during the legal organization’s annual Red Mass on Oct. 3 at St. John the Evangelist Church in Indianapolis. Lawyers, judges, other legal professionals and law students have unique opportunities to do that in daily life, he said during his homily on the goodness of God, who is truth and justice. (Page 1)

The spirit of sports soars as teams combine to create a special season
It’s one of those “feel good” stories in sports. A team of young players overcomes the odds and a history of losing to have a magical, undefeated regular season that leads it into the playoffs. Yet, as good as that story is, it gets even better considering some of the off-the-field moments that occurred during this special season—moments that some people wish would happen more often in youth sports. The story centers on the kickball team of fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade girls at Holy Angels Parish on the near west side of Indianapolis. (Page 1)
