Welcome to Indianapolis Bishop Christopher Coyne
On Wednesday, March 2, Father Christopher Coyne was ordained a bishop at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in downtown Indianapolis. He will serve as Auxiliary Bishop to Archbishop Daniel Buechlein. Bishop Christopher Coyne is from the Boston Archdiocese. When he spoke to the people at the end of the Mass, his personality shined through. He showed himself to be a man of deep reflection as well as one with a great sense of humor. We welcome him and look forward to working with him as we all continue to share the good news of the Gospel. (The picture of Bishop Christopher Coyne was taken as he spoke to the people at the end of Mass.)
We had a wonderful surprise this week when Bishop Paul Etienne, the Bishop of Cheyenne, WY, celebrated Mass with us on Monday evening. How did Bishop Paul end up being at our monastery on a Monday evening, you might ask? Well, he happens to be Sr. Nicolette's brother and a long time friend of our community. He has been in town all week for Bishop Christopher's ordination. It was wonderful to have him with us. He is a great person and a humble and holy servant of God. (The picture is of Bishop Paul and his sister, Sister Nicolette, at Bishop Paul's ordination.)
