History
Before the Archdiocese of Indianapolis was erected in 1944, the episcopal see passed through several other ecclesiastical jurisdictions:
- Diocese of Quebec from 1700 to 1789
- Diocese of Baltimore from 1789 to 1808
- Diocese of Bardstown from 1808 to 1834
- Diocese of Vincennes from 1834 to 1898
- Diocese of Indianapolis from 1898 to 1944[6][7][8]
Early mission (1675–1834)
The origins of the Catholic mission churches in the area that is now Indiana date to the late seventeenth century, when the Catholic parishes in the area were under the authority of the Diocese of Quebec. French
On November 6, 1789,
In 1808, Pope Pius VII divided the Catholic churches in the United States and its territories into five dioceses. The Catholic parishes in the northwest territories came under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Bardstown, with Flaget appointed as its first bishop.[6][19] In 1832, Flaget and Bishop Joseph Rosati, the first bishop of the Diocese of Saint Louis, petitioned the Vatican to name Simon Bruté de Rémur as the first bishop of a new diocese in the State of Indiana.[20][21]
Diocese of Vincennes (1834–1898)
On May 6, 1834, Pope Gregory XVI issued a papal bull to erect the Diocese of Vincennes, the first episcopal see in Indiana.[6][22] Bruté was consecrated as the first bishop of Vincennes on October 28, 1834, in St Louis.[21][23] At the time of his installation, the new diocese, which covered all of Indiana and the eastern third of Illinois, had only three priests.[24]
Bruté made it a point to visit each Catholic family in the new diocese, regardless of the distance from his rectory at Vincennes.
Célestine Guynemer de la Hailandière, Bruté's vicar general, was consecrated as bishop of Vincennes on August 18, 1839.[28] De la Hailandière completed Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral, which he consecrated on August 8, 1841. He also constructed a library at Vincennes to house Bruté's collection of over 5,000 books and religious documents.[29][30] Under de la Hailandière, the Sisters of Providence moved into the diocese and the Brothers of the Holy Cross established schools for boys. Edward Sorin, founder of the University of Notre Dame, and Théodore Guérin, founder of Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, also joined de la Hailandière in Indiana.[31] Indiana's population during this period grew slowly and the institutions de la Hailandière helped to establish experienced many problems. In 1843, the Vatican erected the Diocese of Chicago, removing the Illinois counties from the Diocese of Vincennes. De la Hailandiè reresigned in 1847.[6][32][33]
John Bazin, de la Hailandière's successor, was appointed bishop of Vincennes on September 3, 1847. Bazin's consecration took place at Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral on October 24, 1847,[34] making him the first bishop to be ordained in Indiana. Bazin appointed Jacques-Maurice De Saint Palais, his vicar general, as the diocesan administrator. Bazin died at Vincennes on April 23, 1848, having served the diocese for six months.[35][36]
Bazin's successor, de St. Palais, was consecrated as bishop of Vincennes on January 14, 1849, at Vincennes.
During the American Civil War, de St. Palais had to contend with the call for soldiers, and several priests from the diocese served as chaplains. In 1864, one priest from the diocese, Ernest Audran, was drafted as a soldier. De St. Palais did not address the topic of the Emancipation Proclamation because he feared that doing so would venture too far into politics.[40]
Although de St. Palais recognized that Indianapolis had become a major city (the eighth largest in the United States by 1870), he deferred the decision to move the seat of the diocese to his successor, Silas Chatard.[41] At the time of the De St. Palais' death in 1877, the diocese had grown to include 151 churches, 117 priests, and 90,000 parishioners.[42]
Chatard, Indiana's first American-born bishop, was consecrated as bishop of Vincennes in Rome, Italy, on May 12, 1878.[43][44] Chatard obtained permission from Pope Leo XIII to move the bishop's residence and diocesan chancery to Indianapolis in 1878, but the episcopal see remained at Vincennes.[45][46][47] Anticipating the eventual relocation of the episcopal see to Indianapolis, Chatard established Saints Peter and Paul Parish as a new parish on the city's near north side, where he planned to construct a new cathedral.[48][49] Chatard's tenure as bishop was also marked by his poor health.[50]
Diocese of Indianapolis (1898–1944)
On March 28, 1898,
Chartrand opened more than 25 elementary and secondary schools in his first 14 years as bishop. Chartrand dealt with threats from the Ku Klux Klan by publishing a list of Klan members in the Indianapolis Times newspaper. During the Great Depression, he exempted the entire diocese from fasting, with the exception of Fridays during Lent.[54] Chartrand was appointed archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in 1925, but declined the appointment. When Chartrand died in 1933, the diocese had 126 parochial schools and 19 secondary schools.
Archdiocese of Indianapolis (1944–present)
Joseph Ritter, who had served as auxiliary bishop and vicar general for the Diocese of Indianapolis, succeeded Chartrand as bishop in March 1934.[55][56] In 1937, Ritter ordered the racial integration of three girls' schools in the diocese, opening enrollment for all female students. In 1942, he integrated the Catholic high school in Evansville.[57]
In October 1944, Pope Pius XII elevated the Diocese of Indianapolis to the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. The pope named Ritter as the first archbishop of Indianapolis. At the same time, the pope founded the Dioceses of Evansville and Lafayette, taking their territories from the new archdiocese. In 1946, Ritter left Indianapolis to become archbishop of Saint Louis.[45][55][57]
Archbishop Paul Schulte, formerly bishop of the Diocese of Leavenworth, led the archdiocese from 1946 until 1970. He built three high schools in the Indianapolis area and 17 churches in the archdiocese.[58] On December 17, 1956, the Vatican erected the Diocese of Gary from the territory of the archdiocese.[59] Schulte resigned as archbishop in 1970.[55] Auxiliary Bishop George Biskup from the Archdiocese of Dubuque became archbishop of Indianapolis in 1970. He established the first priests senate in order to expedite decisions and encourage communications between the archbishop and the priests within the archdiocese.[56][60]
Auxiliary Bishop Edward T. O'Meara of Saint Louis, installed as archbishop of Indianapolis in 1980,[55] reorganized the archdiocesan offices and consolidated them into one location at the Catholic Center.[61] O'Meara was also concerned about the shortage of priests within the archdiocese. Although the archbishop did not believe that ordination of female clergy was a solution, he appointed women to key roles. O'Meara also opposed abortion rights for women and supported the needs of the poor.[62] The archdiocese celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1984.[55]
O'Meara's successor, Bishop
Bishop Charles C. Thompson from the Diocese of Evansville was appointed archbishop of Indianapolis by Pope Francis on June 13, 2017. His installation mass was on July 28, 2017.
A Catholic high school teacher in a same-sex marriage was fired and afterward sued the archdiocese on July 10, 2019, for discrimination and interfering with his teaching contract. They had reached a settlement in which the school was to help with future employment opportunities. Meanwhile, the archdiocese said in July 2019 that Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School in Indianapolis was no longer recognized as a Catholic institution due to its refusal to fire a teacher in a same-sex marriage.[66]
As of 2023, Thompson is the current archbishop of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
Sex abuse
In September 2018, the archdiocese suspended Patrick Doyle, a priest at Nativity Catholic Church, from public ministry after receiving an allegation of sexual abuse by him dating back several decades.[67] In October 2018, the archdiocese published a list of 24 priests with credible accusations of sexual abuse of minors. The archdiocese added four more names to the list in 2022.[68]
David Marcotte, an archdiocesan priest, pleaded guilty in March 2022 to felony dissemination of matter harmful to minors. In 2016, Marcotte was using
Patronage
The patron saints of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis are Francis Xavier and Theodora Guerin.
- Xavier was the patron saint of the first cathedral of the diocese, and therefore also of the diocese.
- Guerin was the first saint canonized from the archdiocese and was recognized as patroness of the archdiocese in 2006.[1]
Cathedral
Since 1834, three parish churches have served as diocesan cathedrals or as pro-cathedrals:
- Basilica of Saint Francis Xavier in Vincennes – cathedral from 1834 to 1898
- Saint John the Evangelist Church in Indianapolis – pro-cathedral from 1878 to 1906
- Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis – cathedral from 1906 to present
Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral
History
Saint Francis Xavier Church was built in Vincennes in 1826, making it the oldest Catholic church in Indiana. A Greek Revival-style building, it is similar in design to the Basilica of St. Joseph Proto-Cathedral in Kentucky. Pope Paul VI elevated Saint Francis Xavier to the status of a minor basilica in 1970.[72][73]
The cornerstone for Saint Francis Xavier Church was laid on March 30, 1826.[74][75] The first services were held in 1827, although the interior was not yet complete.[76] The diocese added a bell tower, designed by the architect Jean-Marie Marsile, in the 1830s.[77][78]
On May 6, 1834, when Gregory XVI erected the Diocese of Vincennes, Saint Francis Xavier became the cathedral for the new diocese. The cathedral was unfinished when Bishop Bruté arrived in 1834. Bishop Hailandière continued work on the cathedral, which he consecrated on August 8, 1841.[79] Saint Francis Xavier served as the diocesan cathedral until 1898, when the Vatican transferred the episcopal see to Indianapolis.[6]
Description
The basilica interior features three large murals, painted in 1870 by Wilhelm Lamprecht. These murals include:
- A scene of Christ being crucified
- The , the patron saints of the first four bishops
- Francis Xavier, the parish's patron saint
The diocese obtained 14 oil paintings from France to illustrate the Stations of the Cross in the church.[79] The remains of the first four bishops of Vincennes (Bruté, Hailandière, Bazin, and de St. Palais) are buried in the basilica crypt.[80]
Saint John the Evangelist Church
History
Saint John the Evangelist Church is the main structure in a cluster of parish buildings on the southwest corner of Georgia Street and Capitol Avenue in Indianapolis. Construction on the church started in 1867; it was dedicated in 1871.
When Bishop de St. Palais visited Indianapolis in the early 1870's, he stayed at the church rectory and used the parish church as the pro-cathedral for the diocese.[48][81][82] His successor, Bishop Chatard, requested permission from Leo XIII in 1878 to establish the bishop's residence and chancery at Indianapolis.[47] Many considered Saint John as the de facto diocesan cathedral,[83] but Saint Francis Xavier Cathedral in Vincennes remained the official cathedral. On April 18, 1892, Chatard moved into the new rectory at Saints Peter and Paul Parish in Indianapolis.[84][85]
Saints Peter and Paul became the new diocesan cathedral in 1898, with Saint John no longer considered as a pro-cathedral. The rectory at Saint John housed the diocesan chancery until 1968. It served as the metropolitan tribunal for the diocese until 1982.[48][86]

Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral
History
Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis serves as the seat of the archdiocese. With construction starting around 1900, the cathedral was completed in 1906.
Bishop Chatard established Saints Peter and Paul parish in 1892 north of downtown Indianapolis.[83][92] The diocese began construction for a chapel and rectory at the current location in 1891. The chapel was dedicated on March 25, 1892, and Chatard moved into the rectory on April 18, 1892.[84][86] Bishop Chartrand was ordained a priest in the Saints Peter and Paul chapel on September 24, 1892. Anticipating the episcopal see's relocation from Vincennes to Indianapolis, Chatard purchased additional lots by the chapel in 1894 to build a cathedral.[93] Saints Peter and Paul became the cathedral parish on March 28, 1898, when Leo XIII officially transferred the seat of the diocese to Indianapolis from Vincennes. At that time, Chatard started fundraising for the new cathedral.[94][86]
In 1936, Bishop Ritter started construction of the spires and permanent facade for the cathedral. The project was supervised by Indianapolis architect August Bohlen.[97][98] The permanent facade was also modeled after Saint John Lateran.[99] Chatard and Chartrand were initially buried in the cathedral's crypt, but their remains were removed and interred at Calvary Cemetery in Indianapolis in 1976.[100]
Description
William Renwick designed the cathedral's original interior decorations, including three altars, a doorway and arch decoration, a metal ceiling, and frames for the Stations of the Cross. D. A. Bohlen and Son designed the original baptismal fonts and dark oak furnishings.[101][102]
Chatard commissioned the sculptor
The archdiocese began renovating the cathedral in 1985 to comply with liturgical changes made during the Second Vatican Council. The refurbished cathedral was rededicated on May 14, 1986.[84][105]
Churches
Education
The Archdiocese of Indianapolis has two colleges, two seminaries, seven high schools, and 60 elementary schools. As of 2008, the system had approximately 24,000 students. The archdiocese established the Cristo Rey Project with the Sisters of Providence to assist low income students in 2006.[106]
