General Announcements
Volunteers who love giving life a hand needed to help with Birthline
Birthline, an archdiocesan pro-life ministry that assists struggling pregnant women and mothers of infants by providing them donated clothes, bottles, blankets, diapers and other items, is in need of volunteers to either help from home with its telephone hotline or to help at its office located in the Archbishop Edward T. O’Meara Catholic Center, 1400 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis. There is also a need for a handyman.
To help this ministry support mothers who choose life, volunteers are needed for the following roles:
• Telephone Helpline: Helpline volunteers work from home and have client calls routed to their home phone or cell phone. Volunteers serve from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. or 1-4:30 p.m. on weekdays about every other week. Volunteers gather information from the client, enter it into a networked computer program and schedule client visits. Calls usually last from 5-15 minutes. Volunteers are provided in-home training. At least nine volunteers are currently needed.
• Catholic Center volunteers: Volunteers work 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Mondays or Wednesdays (Wednesday volunteers are especially needed). Tasks include sorting and creating outfits from donated clothes, creating layettes of needed items for expecting mothers, greeting and helping clients. Volunteers must be able to walk up and down stairs and to stand for much of their shift. Those wanting to make layettes must be able to lift 15-20-pound containers of clothes.
• Handyman: A handyman is needed at the Catholic Center on Mondays or Wednesdays from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. to make sure donated baby equipment is clean and in working order, and to help carry layettes and other items to clients’ cars. Need to be able to carry 15-20-pound bags of clothes and sometimes baby equipment.
For more information, call Brie Anne Varick, coordinator of the archdiocesan Office of Human Life and Dignity, at 800-382-9836, ext. 1543, or 317-236-1543, or e-mail beichhorn@archindy.org.

Film on St. Faustina and Divine Mercy image to show in theaters again on Dec. 2
Due to the overwhelming attendance at the Oct. 28 national showing of the film Faustina: Love and Mercy and demand for another viewing opportunity, the film will again be shown in select theaters nationwide on Dec. 2.
The two-hour docudrama presents previously unknown facts and recently disclosed documents that shed new light on the Divine Mercy image revealed by Christ during a 1931 apparition to St. Faustina Kowalska in Poland.
Aided by scientific analysis, the film reveals conclusions drawn from a comparison of the Divine Mercy image and the Shroud of Turin.
Re-created scenes between St. Faustina and her confessor, Father Michael Sopoko, trace the origins of the image, the birth of the devotion to Divine Mercy and its spread throughout the world despite its initial ban by the Catholic Church.
For more information and a complete list of theatres and showtimes, visit www.fathomevents.com/events/faustina-love-and-mercy.
