World Day of Consecrated Life Mass to be celebrated on Feb. 2

A Mass in observance of the annual World Day of Consecrated Life will begin at 11 a.m. on Feb. 2 at SS. Peter and Paul ­Cathedral, 1347 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis.

Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein is scheduled to be the ­primary celebrant for the Mass.

The Mass will be celebrated on the feast of the Presentation of the Lord, which has traditionally been a feast where people enter religious communities or profess vows.

All men and women religious serving in the archdiocese are invited to participate in the liturgy. Those celebrating jubilees of entrance into ­religious life or of profession of religious vows during 2008 will be honored at the Mass.

A reception in the assembly hall of the Archbishop O’Meara Catholic Center, across the street from the cathedral, will follow the Mass.

Those religious planning on attending the Mass are asked to contact Carolyn Noone, associate director for special events for the archdiocese, at 317-236-1428 or 800-382-9836, ext. 1428, or by e-mail at cnoone@archindy.org.†
