Coat of Arms of His Excellency, The Most Reverend
Donald Joseph Hying, Bishop of Gary
BLAZON:
Arms impaled. Dexter; Bary of seven Sable and Argent; at the nombril point a thurible emanating to chief three
tongues of smoke below two wings all Or. Sinister: Quarterly: I, Gules an eagle displayed Argent; II, of the second a
Sacred Heart Proper; III, Of the second a rose of the first, barbed and seeded Proper, IV, gyronny of the first and second.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The episcopal heraldic achievement, or bishop’s coat of arms, is composed of a shield, that is the central and most important part of the design and tells to whom the design belongs, the external ornamentation, that tells the owner’s position or rank, and a motto, placed upon a scroll. By heraldic tradition
the design is described (blazoned) as if being done by the bearer with the shield being worn on the arm.
Thus, where it applies the terms “sinister” and “dexter” are reversed as the design is viewed from the
front.
Escudo de su excelencia, la mayoría el reverendo
Donald Joseph Hying, obispo de Gary
BLASÓN:
Armas empaladas. Dexter; Bary de siete Sable y Argent; en el punto nombril todo un incensario que emana a tres
lenguas de humo por debajo de dos alas. Siniestro: Cuarto: I, de Gules un águila aparece Argent; II, del segundo el
sagrado corazón; III, de la segunda una rosa de la primera, de púas y sembrado, IV, gyronny de la primera y la
segunda.
SIGNIFICADO:
El logro heráldica episcopal, o escudo del obispo, se compone de un escudo, que es la parte central y
lo más importante del diseño y le dice a quien pertenece el diseño, la ornamentación externa, que
indica la posición del propietario o rango y un lema, colocado sobre un pergamino. Por tradición
heráldica se describe el diseño (proclamado) como si se hace por el portador con el escudo puesto en
el arma. Por lo tanto, donde se aplica los términos "siniestro" y "dexter" se invierte como el diseño es
visto desde la parte delantera.
Para el obispo de una diócesis, llamado un "ordinario", el lado izquierdo del escudo es entregado a
las armas de su jurisdicción; en este caso, la diócesis de Gary
Las armas de la diócesis se componen de un campo de siete alternas negros y plata (blancos) bares,
para representar los siete sacramentos y los lingotes de acero que entonces dominaban la ciudad por
muchos años. En el fondo son dos alas amarillas del Ángel para honrar a los titulares de la CatedralIglesia en Gary, la Catedral de los Santos Ángeles. Debajo de las alas es un incensario que emite tres
lenguas de humo expresando la referencia bíblica a las oraciones que ascienden a Dios como el humo
se levanta. (Salmo 141)
For the bishop of a diocese, called an “Ordinary,” the left side of the shield is given over to the arms of
his jurisdiction; in this case the Diocese of Gary
The arms of the diocese are composed of a field that is seven alternating black and silver (white) bars,
to represent the Seven Sacraments and the steel ingots that so dominated the See City for so many
years. Upon the field are two gold (yellow) angel wings to honor the titulars of the Cathedral-Church in
Gary, the Cathedral of the Holy Angels. Below the wings is a thurible emitting three tongues of smoke
expressing the Scriptural reference to prayers rising to The Father as smoke rises. (Psalm 141)
Por sus armas personales, vistos en el empalamiento dexter del diseño, obispo Hying, ha mantenido
los brazos que se adoptaron en su selección para recibir la plenitud del sacerdocio santísimo de Cristo
cuando llegó a ser obispo, para servir como un obispo auxiliar de Milwaukee.
For his personal arms, seen in the dexter impalement of the design, Bishop Hying, has retained the
arms that were adopted upon his selection to receive the fullness of Christ’s most holy Priesthood,
when he became bishop, to serve as an Auxiliary Bishop of Milwaukee.
Las armas de obispo Hying se dividen en cuatro partes. El primer cuarto (dexter principal) es un
fondo rojo en que se muestra un águila de plata (blanco). Esto es en honor a San Juan Evangelista,
patrono de la Arquidiócesis de Milwaukee, y se combina con el patrón en el cuarto parte, gyronny
rojo y plata (blanco), el fondo de las armas de Milwaukee, donde el obispo Hying ha servido todo su
ministerio hasta su llamado a servicio al pueblo de Dios en la diócesis de Gary. El segundo cuarto, en
un fondo de plata (blanco) muestra el más sagrado corazón, "Adecuada", o "como"normalmente
aparece, y el tercer cuarto contiene una rosa roja. Estas que presenta sirven para honrar a la Santísima
Virgen María y a la Santa Teresa, "La pequeña flor," a quien el obispo Hying tiene profunda
devoción.
Bishop Hying’s arms are divided into four quarters. The first quarter (chief dexter) is a red field on
which is displayed a silver (white) eagle displayed. This is to honor Saint John, the Evangelist, patron
of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, and it is combined with the pattern in the fourth quarter, red and
silver (white) gyronny, the field of the arms of Milwaukee, where Bishop Hying has served his entire
ministry until his call to service God’s Holy People in the Diocese of Gary. The second quarter, on a
silver (white) field displays the Most Sacred Heart, presented “Proper,” or “as it normally appears,”
and the third quarter contains a red rose. These charges are to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saint
Theresa, “The Little Flower,” to whom Bishop Hying has deep devotion.
For his motto, His Excellency, Bishop Hying has retained the phrase from Saint Paul’s First Letter to
the Corinthians (1 Cor. 13:8) which expresses in Latin, “CARITAS NUMQUAM EXCIDIT,” the profound Christian doctrine that in all that we do, we should do it with love, because “LOVE NEVER
FAILS.”
nunca falla".
The achievement is completed with the external ornaments that are a gold (yellow) processional cross, that extends
above and below the shield, and a pontifical hat, called a galero, with its six tassels, in three rows, on either side of the
shield, all in green. These are the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of
March 1969.
El logro se completa con los ornamentos externos de una Cruz procesional de oro (amarillo), que se extiende por
encima y por debajo del escudo y un sombrero pontifical, llamado un galero, con sus seis borlas, en tres filas, a ambos
lados del escudo, todo en verde. Estas son las insignias heráldicas de un prelado de la fila del obispo por la instrucción
de la Santa Sede, de marzo 1969.
Para su lema, su Excelencia el obispo Hying ha mantenido la frase de la primera carta de Saint Paul a
los Corintios (1 Cor. 13:8) que expresa en latín, "CARITAS NUMQUAM EXCIDIT," la doctrina
cristiana profunda que dice que en todo lo que hacemos, debemos hacerlo con amor, porque "El amor

A Brief Episcopal History of the Diocese
PRELUDE — Arise, Shine (sit)
For most Catholics it came as a surprise. Perhaps it was because of the flurry of activity taking
place in 1956. The Diocese of Fort Wayne was preparing to celebrate its centenary the next
year. A vast diocese in area, it comprised forty-two counties of Northern Indiana (almost half
the State) until 1944 when twenty-four counties were taken to form the Diocese of Lafayette in
Indiana. Still, at eighteen counties it was a considerable area in which to minister to God’s
people. The venerable fifth bishop, Archbishop John Francis Noll, nationally renowned
educator and journalist, had led the diocese since 1925. Debilitated by age, he died on 31 July
1956, in the fifty-ninth year of his priesthood.
In the northwest corner of the diocese, the city of Gary was in the midst of celebrating its
golden jubilee. Built in1906 by the United States Steel Corporation on the shore of Lake
Michigan it was a flourishing city enjoying the prosperity of the post-war years. And so toward
the end of the year, on 17 December, came the announcement many did not expect; the Vatican
announced that four counties in the northwest corner of Indiana would comprise the new
Diocese of Gary; and on 29 December, its first bishop was chosen.
Andrew Gregory Grutka, a native of Joliet, Illinois, was ordained in Rome for the Diocese of
Fort Wayne on 5 December 1933. At the time of his nomination as bishop, he was the pastor of
Holy Trinity Parish in Gary. The new diocese at its establishment found itself with 129
diocesan priests active, 77 parishes, 60 parish schools and 135,485 Catholics, which was
roughly 25% of the population. During his twenty-seven year ministry as bishop of the diocese,
he established ten parishes, ordained eighty-one priests for service to the diocese, and
established two parish schools.
CALL TO WORSHIP—LLAME A ADORACIÓN — Out of Darkness (sit)
The first ten years of the diocese’s growth paralleled the changes of society as well as renewal
within the universal Church; some communities flourished while others began to wither.
During this time Bishop Grutka was known for his passionate opposition to racial injustice,
going so far as to denounce such practices during one of the sessions of the Second Vatican
Council (28 October 1964).
A special attraction toward the education of youth, Andrean High School was one of the first
enterprises Bishop Grutka undertook for the new diocese. After the fire that destroyed the
Gymnasium building of Bishop Noll High School in 1962, a bigger more modern edifice was
built to become Bishop Noll Institute; and Saint Mary Parish High School in Michigan City, the
oldest secondary school in the diocese, would become the newest with the establishment of
Marquette High School for Catholics in LaPorte County.

RECEPTION OF THE BISHOP IN HIS CATHEDRAL CHURCH
RECEPCIÓN DEL OBISPO EN SU IGLESIA CATHEDRAL
After the procession has reached the presbytery Bishop Donald Hying knocks on the door to
the Cathedral announcing his arrival to take possession of his diocese and his cathedral
church. Taking possession is a rite that demonstrates the new bishop’s willingness to assume
the appointment offered to him by the Holy Father and to become one with the people of his
new diocese now commended to his pastoral care.
Después de la procesión ha reverenciado el altar Obispo Donald Hying llama a la puerta de la
Catedral anunciando su llegada para tomar posesión de su diócesis y su iglesia de la catedral.
Tomar de posesión es un rito que demuestra la voluntad del nuevo obispo para asumir la
misión le ofrecido por el santo padre y convertirse con la gente de su nueva diócesis elogiado a
su cuidado pastoral.
Bishop Hying is greeted at the door by the Rector of the Cathedral church,
Fr. Michael Kopil. Fr. Kopil leads the Bishop to the baptismal font where he
venerates a crucifix which once adorned the chapel of the first bishop of the
diocese, Bishop Andrew Grutka.
Obispo Hying recibe la bienvenida en la puerta por el Rector de la Iglesia Catedral, el p.
Michael Kopil. P. Kopil dirige el Obispo a la pila bautismal donde venera a un crucifijo que
adornó la capilla del primer obispo de la diócesis, el Obispo Andrew Grutka.
After venerating the crucifix Bishop Hying blesses himself with holy water. It
was at the font of baptism that he, and all of us, began our journey of service to
Christ’s Gospel. He then sprinkles those present as he makes his way down the
main aisle towards the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.
Después de venerar la Cruz Obispo Hying se bendice con agua bendita. Fue en la pila del
bautismo que él y nosotros, comenzamos nuestro viaje de servicio al Evangelio de Cristo. Él
entonces rocía los presentes mientras hace su camino al pasillo principal hacia la capilla del
Santísimo Sacramento.
Durante este tiempo el coro cantará la antífona de entrada para la Epifanía del Señor.
During this time the choir will sing the entrance antiphon for the Epiphany of the Lord.
Behold, the Lord, the Mighty One, has come;
and kingship is in his grasp, and power and dominion.
In the chapel the Bishop kneels in silent prayer for a few moments. The prie dieu (kneeler)
used for today’s installation was a gift to Bishop Grutka and used for his ordination to the
Order of Bishop on 25 February 1957. It bears the coat of arms of the diocese and Bishop
Grutka.
As Bishop Hying kneels in prayer all are invited to pray for him at this time as well.
After he has made this “first visit” to the Blessed Sacrament Bishop Hying reverences the
altar and then is led by Fr. Kopil to the main area of the presbytery where Archbishop Tobin
awaits his presence.
Mirad que ya viene el Señor de los ejércitos;
en su mano están el reino y la potestad y el imperio.
En la capilla del Obispo se arrodilla en oración en silencio por unos
instantes. El prie dieu (reclinatorio) utilizado para la instalación de hoy
fue un regalo a Obispo Grutka y utilizado para su ordenación a la
Orden de Obispo el 25 de febrero de 1957. Lleva el escudo de la
diócesis y del Obispo Grutka.
Como Obispo Hying se arrodilla en oración todos están invitados a
rezar por él en este tiempo.
Después de hacer su primera visita al Santísimo Sacramento, Obispo
Hying reverencia al altar y es dirigido por el p. Kopil al área principal
del presbiterio donde Tobin Arzobispo espera su presencia.
The Archbishop then begins the Mass in the usual fashion.
El Arzobispo comienzan entonces la misa de la manera habitual.

Archbishop Tobin and the Nuncio then escort Bishop Hying to take up his apostolic
assignment by being seated in the Cathedra, the chair of the bishop of the Diocese.
It is from the chair, the cathedra, that the word cathedral is applied to the whole
building.
Bishop Hying is seated with the insignia of his office, the miter, the ring, the pectoral
cross and the crosier. Each of these bears particular significance. The crosier he uses
today once belonged to Archbishop John Noll, the beloved bishop of our territory before
we became the Diocese of Gary. The crosier was given as a gift to the Diocese through Bishop Grutka,
the founding bishop of the Diocese. The miter Bishop Hying has chosen to wear today also came from
our mother diocese and was also worn by Bishop Grutka at his ordination as bishop.
The pectoral cross once belonged to our second Bishop, Bishop Gaughan. The ring Bishop Hying wears
for this occasion was originally given to Bishop Grutka by Blessed Paul VI for those bishops who
participated in the Second Vatican Council.
Arzobispo Tobin entonces escolta obispo Hying para tomar su misión apostólica por estar sentado en la
Cátedra, la silla del obispo de la diócesis. Es de la silla, la Cátedra, que la palabra Catedral se aplica a
todo el edificio.
Obispo Hying está sentado con la insignia de su oficina, la Mitra, el anillo, la Cruz pectoral y el
báculo. Cada de ellos tiene un significado particular. El báculo que utiliza hoy en día una vez
perteneció al Obispo John Noll, el Obispo amado de nuestro territorio antes de que nos
convertimos en la diócesis de Gary. El báculo fue dado como un regalo a la diócesis por el
obispo Grutka, el primer obispo de la diócesis. La Mitra de que obispo Hying ha elegido usar
hoy también vino de nuestra diócesis patria y también fue usada por el obispo Grutka en su
ordenación como obispo.
El Cruz pectoral una vez perteneció a nuestro segundo obispo, obispo Gaughan. El anillo que el
obispo Hying lleva en esta ocasión fue originalmente dado a obispo Grutka por el Santo Papa Paul
VI por su participación en el Concilio Vaticano II.

PSALM—SALMO 71/72
Jesús nació en Belén de Judea en tiempos del rey Herodes. Entonces, unos magos de Oriente se
presentaron en Jerusalén preguntando: «¿Dónde está el Rey de los judíos que ha nacido? Porque hemos
visto salir su estrella y venimos a adorarlo.»
Al enterarse el rey Herodes, se sobresaltó, y todo Jerusalén con él; convocó a los sumos sacerdotes y a los
escribas del país, y les pregun-tó dónde tenía que nacer el Mesías. Ellos le contestaron: «En Belén de
Judea, porque así lo ha escrito el profeta: "Y tú, Belén, tierra de Judea, no eres ni mucho menos la última
de las ciudades de Judea, pues de ti saldrá un jefe que será el pastor de mi pueblo Israel"».
Entonces Herodes llamó en secreto a los magos para que le precisaran el tiempo en que había aparecido la
estrella, y los mandó a Be-lén, diciéndoles: «Id y averiguad cuidadosamente qué hay del niño y, cuando lo
encontréis, avisadme, para ir yo también a adorarlo».
Ellos, después de oír al rey, se pusieron en camino, y de pronto la estrella que habían visto salir comenzó
a guiarlos hasta que vino a pararse encima de donde estaba el niño. Al ver la estrella, se llenaron de
inmensa alegría. Entraron en la casa, vieron al niño con María, su madre, y cayendo de rodillas lo
adoraron; después, abriendo sus cofres, le ofrecieron regalos: oro, incienso y mirra.
Y habiendo recibido en sueños un oráculo, para que no volvieran a Herodes, se marcharon a su tierra por
otro camino.

ABOUT THE
ACERCA DE LA
CATHEDRAL OF THE HOLY ANGELS
CATEDRAL DE LOS SANTOS ANGELES
OF THE DIOCESE OF GARY
DE LA DIOCESIS DE GARY
SACRED DESIGN EXPRESSES JOURNEY OF CHRISTIAN LIFE 
 EL DISEÑO SAGRADO EXPRESA EL CAMINAR DE LA VIDA CRISTIANA 
Holy Angels Parish was established in 1906. The current church structure was elevated to a cathedral
when the Diocese of Gary was established in 1956. Although the altar was anointed the church building
was never formally dedicated. In 1972, Bishop Grutka, the first Bishop of Gary, authorized the
Cathedral’s first renovation. In 1997, Bishop Melczek, third Bishop of Gary, commissioned a renewal
and renovation of the Cathedral. On January 26, 1998 Bishop Dale Melczek anointed the Altar and
dedicated the renewed Cathedral of the Holy Angels.
The entire design of this worship space is expressive of the journey of Christian life and the ordering of
God’s Church. Entering through the narthex of the church one is led to the Font, the place where the life
of a Christian begins. The Christian life does not end in the waters of baptism. Baptism is needed to
become a member of God’s household. Once in the household the members are called forward to the
Altar, to be fed at the Holy Table. Being fed is not an end in itself for the Christian. The believer is fed in
order to be strengthened to do the work of Christ in ministry. From the Altar one sees the Cathedra, from
which the Bishop oversees the work of Christ carried out by His members.
The design of the green terrazzo as it moves from the narthex around the Font to encircle the Altar also
branches out into the presbytery and the assembly. Thus our journey as believers leads us from Font to
Altar to Ministry. This cycle continues each week when we enter the church renewing our baptism as we
bless ourselves at the Font. From the Font we take our place around the table of Word and Eucharist to be
nourished at the Altar. As we participate in the act of Christ’s sacrifice we learn what we must do. From
the Altar we are sent to minister as Christ ministers.
The Cathedra
The Bishop’s chair was completed for Bishop Melczek’s Mass of Pastoral Commitment in July of 1996.
The original Cathedra was removed in 1972. The present Cathedra is sculpted from black walnut. The
design of the Cathedra is intended to express both its location in this church and its connection to the
Diocese of Gary. The arched back is reminiscent of the pointed window arches and the gentle arch over
the Blessed Sacrament area. The woven back of the Cathedra is black walnut carved from one piece. The
woven back is representational of the weave of cultures that make up the Diocese. The angel that stands
to the right of the Cathedra is a reminder of the patrons of the Diocese, the Holy Angels. The angel is also
a symbol of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit for the Bishop of the Diocese as well as a sign of guidance
in his decisions. The angel is offset by the colorful coat of arms on the left side of the Cathedra. This is
Bishop Hying’s coat of arms. It is a sign of the Bishop’s office as one who is charged to build up unity
among all Christians. The Cathedra sits in the midst of the “presbytery” (that is: the place for the
presbyters (priests) and also deacons). This placement teaches us that all pastoral and sacramental
ministry flow from the primary Pastor, the Bishop.

La Parroquia de los Santos Angeles se fundó en el año 1906. La presente estructura de la iglesia fue
elevada a catedral cuando se estableció la Diócesis de Gary en 1956. Aunque el altar fue consagrado, la
iglesia nunca fue formalmente dedicada. El primer obispo de Gary, Mons. Grutka, autorizó la primera
renovación de la catedral el año 1997 y el dia 26 de enero del año siguiente consagró el altar e hizo la dedicación formal de la renovada Catedral de los Santos Angeles.
El diseño completo de este lugar de culto es la expresion del caminar cristiano y el orden de la Iglesia de
Dios. El atrio nos conduce a la Fuente, donde nacemos a la vida cristiana. Por medio del Bautismo pasamos a pertenecer a la Casa de Dios, pero nuestra vida cristiana no termina aquí, todos los miembros somos invitados a vanzar hacia el Altar, para ser alimentados en la Mesa Sagrado. Pero, no por el simple
hecho de ser alimentados se completa la vida cristina. Los creyentes son alimentados para poder tener
fuerzas y poder así realizar el ministerio de Cristo. Desde el Altar podemos observar la Cátedra, el lugar
donde el obispo se sienta a enseñar y a dirigir el trabajo de Cristo que todos los miembros realizan junto
con él.
El diseño verdoso de la Catedral que empieza con el atrio, sigue la forma circular de la Fuente Bautismal y nos lleva al lugar de la asamblea y al presbiterio. Esto indica que nuestro caminar de creyentes nos
conduce de la Fuente Bautismal al Altar y somos enviados al ministerio. Cada semana renovamos este
ciclo al santiguarnos con el agua bautismal de la Fuente y desde allí rodeamos la mesa para alimentarnos
con la Palabra y la Eucaristía. Al participar del sacrificio de Cristo aprendemos lo que debemos hacer, ya
que desde el Altar somos enviados a realizar el ministerio de Cristo.
La Cátedra
La silla del obispo, que se llama cátedra, fue completada en julio del 1996 para la Misa de Compromiso
Pastoral. La cátedra original fue removida en el año 1972. Y la actual fue esculpida en un pedazo macizo
de madera negra de nogal. El diseña de la Cátedra bios conecta al mismo tiempo con el nombre de la
Catedral y la Diócesis de Gary. La forma arqueada del respaldo combina con las ventanas y la forma
arqueada del tiemplo. La forma trenzada de la silla simboliza la mezcla de cultura diferentes que conforman la diócesis. El ángel de pie, al lado derecho, nos recuerda a los patronos de la diócesis., los Santos
Angeles y al mismo tiempo, la inspiración del Espíritu Santo sobre el obispo para guiarlo en sus decisiones. Al lado izquierdo está el escudo de armas del Obispo Melczek, el cual fue hecho a puntadas de

The Altar
The Altar as center of the community represents Christ. Christ is the victim and the altar of sacrifice.
The Altar is dedicated by the anointing of Chrism. Chrism, Christ’s oil, is spread all over the Altar as the
oil was spread over the feet of Jesus shortly before his passion. The Altar is treated as Christ’s body thus
nothing is simply laid on the altar for reason of decor. Only the bread, wine and the book needed for
prayer are placed on the Altar. Even candles are placed around the Altar area. The shape of the Altar
suggests that it is both an Altar and a Holy Table. It is the place where the community eats and drinks
with God. The four sides are fairly uniform suggesting the equality of all those who gather around the
Table. Elements from the former Altar and reredos (the depiction of our Lord’s crucifixion in the apse of
the building) were used in erecting the Altar, connecting the new with the old. Surrounding the sanctuary
platform, in the floor at its four corners, are the Holy Angels in mosaic. These four angels represent the
variety and diversity of the human race and the Diocese of Gary: African, Anglo, Asian and Hispanic.
These patrons of the Diocese and the parish invite the faithful to join in their unending hymn of praise.
The Reserved Blessed Sacrament
The Blessed Sacrament is reserved for the sick, for the dying, and for devotional adoration of the
faithful. A Cathedral Church is required to provide a Blessed Sacrament Chapel. This space for
devotional prayer before the tabernacle, to the left of the presbytery in the northwest corner of the
Cathedral, is intended to emphasize the unique and real presence of our Lord in the Sacrament.
This Reservation Chapel, in sight of those entering the church, invites the faithful who wish to spend
some time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Kneelers and seats are provided for this purpose. The
proximity of the tabernacle to the faithful is intended to aid in creating a place that is hospitable and
welcoming. Forming a cross behind the tabernacle the Holy Angels join the faithful in adoration.
The Ambo
The Ambo is made of the same material as the reredos and the Altar. Its size does not symbolize its
importance, rather the activity that takes places there lends the ambo its primary focus. It is large enough
to hold the book of the readings and the book of the Gospels, yet not so large as to block from view the
lectors who proclaim the Word, the cantor leading the psalm, or the minister proclaiming the Gospel.
mano por una persona de la Iglesia Metodista de Griffith. El oficio episcopal es un símbolo en el que
descansa la unidad entre los cristianos. La Cátedra queda en medio del "presbiterio" lugar de los
presbíteros (sacerdotes) y diáconos. Esto significa que todo el ministerio pastoral y sacramental fluye del
Pastor principal, el obispo.
El Altar
El altar es el centro de la comunidad y representa a Cristo. Cristo es la víctima y el altar de sacrificio. El
altar es dedicado por la unción crismal. El crisma, el aceite de Cristo, nos recuerda la unción de los pies de
Jesús con aceite perfumado antes de su pasión. El Altar representa a Cristo y no se debe poner nada de
adorno sobre él. Sólo el pan y el vino y el misal para las oraciones deben estar en el Altar. La forma del
altar indica que a la vez es la Mesa Sagrada y el lugar donde la comunidad come y bebe con Dios. Los
cuatro labos son inguales, simbolizando con ello que todos los comensales son iguales. Se usaron algunos
elementos del altar antiguo, conectando así lo antiguo con lo nuevo. En las cuatro esquinas están los Santos Angeles tallados en madera de nogal. Que invitan a los fieles a unirse a ellos con himnos de alabanza.
El Santísmo Sacramento
El Santísimo Sacramento está reservado para los enfermos, para los que están muriendo y para la
adoración devocional de los fieles. Se requiere que la Iglesia Catedral tenga una capilla para el Santísimo.
Este espacio devocional para la oración delante del tabernáculo, está ubicado al lado izquierdo del presbiterio, en el rincón nororiental de la Catedral, y está destinado para enfatizar la presencia única y real de
nuestro Señor en el Sacramento.
Esta capilla de reservación, está a la vista al entrar el templo, y es una invitación a los fieles a que
dediquen un tiempo de oración frente al Santísimo Sacramento. Para este propósito hay sillas y reclinatorios disponibles. Esta cercanía del tabernáculo de los fieles es para ayudarlos a fomentar la oración, dándoles un espacio agradable y acogedor. Formando una cruz detrás del tabernáculo están los santos ángeles
en actitud de profunda adoración.
El Púlpito
The Font
The Font is constructed in a large enough fashion for an adult to be fully washed in baptism. This Font,
like the many Fonts of the ancient church, is not a Font for full immersion. The elect to be baptized enter
the Font one by one after they have professed their faith. After descending the stairs to the south of the
Font they kneel down in the middle of the cross and are baptized by the pouring of water over them by the
minister. When they have received baptism they rise and ascend the stairs on the north side of the font
which places their feet on the way to the Altar, the culmination of Christian initiation.
The Font is constructed primarily of travertine marble with an accented base in the salmon marble used
on the reredos. The design of the Font incorporates four pillars from the former Altar. From each pillar
the waters of life flow, as if from the four rivers of ancient lore.
El púlpito está hecho del mismo material del altar. Su tamaño no necesariamente simboliza su importancia, sino más bien la actividad que allí se realiza y que lo hace ser parte importante. Es suficientemente
grande para poner el Libro de los Evangelios y permite la visibilidad en la proclamación de la Palabra, del
Cantor de los salmos y del ministro que proclama el Evangelio.
La Fuente
La Fuente fue construída para permitir que un adulto pueda ser bañado en las guas bautismales y, como la
mayoría de las funtes antiguas, no está hecha para la inmersión total. Los Elegidos van entrando uno a uno
después de hacer la profesión de fe, arrodillándose en el medio de la cruz para ser bautizados por el ministro. Una vez bautizados, salen en dirección al Altar terminando el rito de iniciación.
La Fuente es de mármol e incluye cuatro pilares del altar antiguo. De los cuatro pilares mana el agua,
como un símbolo de los cuatro ríos antiguos.

The Paschal Candle
El Cirio Pascual
The Paschal Candle is blessed at the beginning of the Easter Vigil and is the first light that leads the
faithful into the darkened church. The Paschal Candle remains lit for all of Easter, through Ascension
Thursday to Pentecost. This candle is lit each time a new member is brought into the church and each
time a member of the church is commended to God at their passing. The stand is made of black walnut
with design elements that complement the tracery of the stained glass windows. It is crafted to reflect the
singular importance of the candle it holds.
El Cirio Pascual es bendecido al comienzo de la Vigilia Pascual y es la primera luz que guía a los fieles
hacia la iglesia oscurecida. El Cirio Pascual se enciende durante la Pascua y desde la Ascensión hasta
Pentecostés. También se enciende cada vez que un nuevo miembro se la admite a la Iglesia o cuando alguien muere. El pedestal es también una obra artesanal de madera de nogal.
El Armario de los Santos Oleos y el Crisma
The Ambry: the Holy Oils and the Oil of Chrism
The Holy Oils and the Oil of Chrism are visible to the assembly not merely as a display, but to remind
the community that God chooses to use the things of this earth to impart His grace. In the Cathedral
Church the Oils take on a particular significance as signs of the faithful’s unity with the Bishop’s pastoral
ministry. The Ambry is the place where the Holy Oils and the Oil of Chrism are stored. The base of this
Ambry is the former baptismal font and the upper section is crafted from black walnut. Its design
compliments the tracery design in the stained glass windows. The upper walnut section is capped with the
top of the former baptismal font.
Devotional Images
St. Martin de Porres (1639) stands at the entrance to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. St. Martin is
patron of inter-racial justice. His life invites Christians to actively care for others no matter their color or
race.
The images of Our Lady and St. Joseph holding the child Jesus located in the Holy Family shrine (the
west transept) are original to the church.
Above and to the right of the Holy Family shrine is a statue of St. Francis of Assisi (1226). St.
Francis is the patron of Catholic action and the patron of pet owners. The life of St. Francis challenges
every Christian to embrace the gospel commands to live simply and justly.
Above and to the left of the Holy Family shrine is a statue of St. John Bosco (1888), patron of
Catholic youth and editors and founder of the Society of St. Francis de Sales, the Salesians. He is
remembered for his work with neglected boys.
Above and to the right of the Holy Angels shrine is a statue of St. Theresa of Lisieux, the Little Flower
(1897). St. Theresa is patron of florists and foreign missionaries. Although she never left the convent
in her short lifetime, her prayers for the missions did go forth.
Above and to the left of the shrine is a statue of St. Patrick (ca.493) the “Apostle of Ireland.” Many of
the founding members of the parish were of Irish descent.
A depiction of Our Lord Jesus of the Sacred Heart stands to the left of the presbytery on the north wall.
Devotion to our Lord in this form rose in popularity in the late 18th century.
St. Anthony (1231) is presented to the right of presbytery on the north wall. St. Anthony is the patron
of the poor and oppressed.
To the right of the statue of St. Anthony under the eastern arch is an acrylic painting of Saint Juan
Diego (1548) displaying on his tilma (cape) the holy image of Our Lady of Guadalupe who is
Patroness of the Americas and who holds special significance for Mexicans.
page 39
Los Santos Oleos y el Crisma son visibles a la asamblea no solamente para mostrarlos, sino para recordar
a la comunidad que Dios escoge usar las cosas de la tierra para comunicarnos su gracias. En la catedral los
S. Oleos toman un significado especial como una señal de la unidad de los fieles con el ministerio pastoral
del Obispo. Para hacer este Amario donde se guardan los Santos Oleos se usó la parte alta del antigua
funte bautismal, también en madera de nogal.
Imágenes Devocionales
San Martín de Porres (+1639) ubicado a la entr ada de la capilla del Santísimo Sacr amento. San
Martín es patrón de justicia interracial. Su vida invita a los cristianos preocuparse activamente por los
demás sin importar su color o raza.
Las imágenes de N. Sra y de S. José con el Niño Jesús en sus brazos, están ubicados en el Santuario de la
S. Familia y son imágenes originales de la antigua parroquia.
Más arriba, y a un lado de la S. Familia, está la estatua de S. Francisco de Asís (+1226). San Francisco es
el patrono de la acción católica y el de los dueños de animales domésticos. San Francisco desafía a todos
los cristianos a vivir una vida simple, de acuerdo al Evangelio.
A la izquierda de la S. Familia está la estatua de S. Juan Bosco (+1888), patrono de la juventud católica,
de los editores y fundador de la Sociedad de S. Francisco de Sales, los Salesianos y se le recuerda por su
trabajo con los niños abandonados.
En el parte superior y hacia la derecha del santuario de los Ss. Angeles, está la estatua de S. Teresita de
Lisieux, la Pequeñ Flor (+1897). St. Ter esita es Patr ona de los flor istas y de las misiones extanjer as
y, aungque nunca dejó el convento, sus oraciones fueron eficaces.
En la parte izquierda del santuario está la estatua de S. Patricio, el "Apóstol de Irlanda". Muchos de los
feligreses fundadores de la parroquia fueron descendientes de irlandeses.
Una pintura del Sacrado Corazón de Jesús está al lado izquierdo del presbiterio.
S. Antonio (+1231), a la der echa del pr esbiter io, es el Patr ón de los pobr es y opr imidos. También se
encuentra una pintura en acrílico del S. Juan Diego, con la tilma con la imagen de N. Sra. De Guadalupe,
Patrona de América. .

A textile image of St. John the Baptist is to the right of the statue of St. Anthony. St. John the Baptist is
a popular saint among many Latin peoples, especially those of Puerto Rican descent. His feast is
universally celebrated on June 24.
In the west and east transept under the first, third, twelfth and fourteenth stations of the Stations of the
Cross are the four ancient depictions of the gospel writers.
St. Matthew appears as an image of a winged man because the gospel narrative attributed to him
traces Jesus’ human genealogy. St. Mark is depicted as a winged lion because the gospel narrative
attributed to him begins with the words “a herald’s voice in the desert crying out; make ready the way of
the Lord.” (1:3) The words suggest the roar of a lion. St. Luke is seen as a winged ox reminiscent of the
ox as an animal of sacrifice under the old law. The gospel narrative attributed to Luke stresses the atoning
sacrifice of Jesus. St. John is depicted as an eagle because the gospel that bears his name rises to such
lofty heights in presenting the mind of Jesus.
Holy Angels Shrine  the Tomb of Bishop Grutka
In the east transept is the shrine of the Holy Angels. The first Bishop of Gary, Bishop Grutka was laid
to rest here in November 1993. The shrine is dedicated to the deceased clergy of the diocese and the
deceased members of the parish community. Two books of the Dead are placed there inviting the faithful
to pray for the repose of their souls. The Holy Angels are the patrons of the Diocese of Gary and are the
servants of the Almighty. They are the ones who lead us to the heavenly Jerusalem and protect us here on
earth as we journey to the heavenly promise.
The icon is written in the Ethiopian-Coptic style which developed in the late eighth century. The
subject of the icon, the Synaxis of the Holy A ngels (also known as the Congregation of the Bodiless
Powers) is a traditional iconic subject. Like the Greek style the Ethiopian-Coptic style portrays the
subject from its particular cultural perspective. A reminder of the many and varied expressions of our one
faith. The icon is positioned in the shrine not as a piece of “museum” art but as a devotion object to be
touched and venerated. (Presently the Nativity is installed in place of the icon.)
The use of icons in prayer is an ancient spiritual tradition. The icon acts as a window to the divine. It is
not venerated as an object but as a holy pathway that leads the one who gazes upon it in prayer to a closer
union with Christ. The Christ child is giving the one who gazes upon the image in prayer the Sign of
Peace. He is supported by fifteen angels, while below him the six winged seraph await His bidding. The
angels tongues appearing in a predominate fashion are a reflection of an ancient gesture of welcome also
seen in many Polynesian cultures.
Una imagen de S. Juan Bautista, hecha en textil, es un santo muy popular entre los Latinos, especialmente
los Puertorriqueños.
S. Martin de Porres (+1639) es el Patr ón de la justicia inter r acial, quien nos invita a pr eocupar nos
por los demás, no importando el color de la piel, la cultura o el origen étnico.
Bajo algunas estaciones del Via Crucis, hay cuatro pinturas antiguas de los escritores de los Evangelios.
S. Mateo apar ece con un per sona alada, ya que la nar r ativa evangélica ar tibuída a él, tr aza la genealogía humana de Jesús. S. Marcos es pintado como un león alado, ya que su evangelio empieza con las
palabras "Escuchen este grito en el desierto: preparen el camino del Señor" (1:3). Esta palabras evocan el
regido de un león. S. Lucas es pintado com un ternero alado, para recordar a los animales sacrificiales del
Antiguo Testamento, pues S. Lucas destaca el sacrificio expiatorio de Jesús. S. Juan es representado como
un águila, ya que su evangelio como que eleva el alma a las alturas al presentar el pensamiento de Jesús.
Santuario de los Santos Angeles y Tumba del Obispo Grutka
En la parte este del crucero está el santuario de los Santos Angeles y también la tumba del primer obispo
de la diócesis, el obispo Grutka, quien fue sepultado aquí en el mes de noviembre de 1993. Este santuario
está dedicado a los sacerdotes fallecidos de la diócesis y a los feligreses difuntos de la parroquia.
Hay dos libros de los Difuntos por los que se invita a los fieles a orar por su eterno descanso. Los Santos
Angeles, patronos de la Diócesis de Gary, son los servidores de Dios Omnipotente y son ellos los que nos
guían a la Jerusalén celestial y nos protegen en nuestro caminar terreno. (En la actualidad la Navidad se
instala en lugar del icono.)
El ícono, en estilo etiópico-cóptico y desarrollado a fines del siglo octavo, no está aquí como una pieza de
museo, sino que es un objeto sagrado de veneración y la expresión de las differentes espresiones de nuestra fe en el ámbito atrístico.

A Brief History — continued from page 10
Known for his love for nature, he actively supported Camp Lawrence, the summer camp sponsored by
the Catholic Youth Organization of the diocese.
In 1973 the Institute of Religion was established to give formal training to catechists. The program
flourished until 1986 when it was replaced by the “Clock Hours” program of enrichment for catechists.
Between 1981-1984, forty-nine permanent deacons were ordained for service to the diocese. In 1983, the
Albertine Home was established as a retirement Home for priests, staffed by the Albertine Sisters who
arrived in 1974 from the Diocese of Krakow, Poland.
Bishop Grutka retired in 1984, but continued to be active and to minister to the people at the pleasure of
the new bishop. He died on 11 November 1993 and is entombed in the East transept of the Cathedral.
Norbert Felix Gaughan, a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was ordained for the Diocese of Pittsburgh
on 4 November 1945. At the time of his nomination as bishop of Gary, he was an auxiliary bishop
serving as the Vicar General for the Diocese of Greensburg. At the beginning of Bishop Gaughan’s
ministry to the diocese there were 114 diocesan priests active in the diocese, 83 parishes, 40 parish
schools, and a Catholic population of 195,032. Although no new parishes were established during his
tenure, he ordained thirteen priests for service to the diocese, moved the chancery and tribunal offices to
a new building (The Pastoral Center) in Merrillville, and established the Northwest Indiana Catholic, a
newspaper exclusively for the diocese. In 1986 he established the Catholic Services Appeal to aid the
work of the Church. His program W e can change the future set about norms for the establishment of
pastoral councils and better communication between parishes and diocesan offices.
Though a minor stroke in 1989 did not deter him from his duties, a far more debilitating attack in
February of 1992 left him seriously hampered. In August of that year, the Vatican appointed an
Apostolic Administrator to oversee the management of the diocese. Though valiant in his attempts to
continue to minister to the people of the diocese, Bishop Gaughan spent the last years of his life at Saint
Anthony Home in Crown Point. He died on 1 October 1999 and is buried in the Saint Emma Convent
cemetery in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
Dale Joseph Melczek, a native of Detroit, Michigan, was ordained for the Archdiocese of Detroit on 6
June 1964. At the time of his nomination as Apostolic Administrator for the diocese in August of 1992,
he was an auxiliary bishop assisting the archbishop of Detroit. During this period he administered the
diocese with a great sensitivity toward Bishop Gaughan. In the fall of 1995 Bishop Melczek was named
co-adjutor bishop, giving him the right to automatically succeed Bishop Gaughan upon his retirement on
1 June 1996.
He has also fostered a three-year program of faith sharing in preparation for the Holy Year was begun in
the fall of 1996 to “lead us into a fuller sharing in the loving community of the Trinity.”
As the Church approached the dawn of the third millennium, the diocese began a program of preparation
for the event. As part of the celebration in 2000, clusters of parishes in each deanery hosted missions
dedicated to the theme of “Homecoming.” These three-day missions were designed not only to kindle a
deeper faith in parishioners, but also to “welcome home” those who for whatever reason had wavered in
their faith. The culmination of this successful program came on the feast of the Body and Blood of
Christ, 25 June 2000. The faithful throughout the diocese gathered at Gary’s Genesis Center for an
afternoon celebration of reflection and Eucharistic worship, ending with a Corpus Christi procession, the
edifying spectacle of nearly three thousand of the faithful marching in procession, singing hymns and
praying while Bishop Melczek carried the Blessed Sacrament down Broadway to Seventh Avenue, from
the Genesis Center to the Cathedral was inspiring.
In February 2006, in preparation for the diocesan Golden Jubilee, Bishop Melczek invited all of the
parishes to participate in a process titled “A Future Full of Hope: Looking Back and Moving Forward.”
The program was designed to help the faithful, especially those involved in leadership positions on
Parish Pastoral Councils and Commissions, to reflect upon the various aspects of the mission of the
parish and then assess current strengths and weaknesses with a view to developing a concrete plan of
action, which would will lead to a more vibrant parish over the coming years. In June, 2007 the faithful
returned to the Genesis Center to celebrate the Golden Jubilee.
25 June 2014 Bishop Melczek celebrated his golden sacerdotal jubilee with a mass and reception at the
Cathedral.
On 24 November 2014 the diocese received the announcement that Donald Joseph Hying was named the
fourth bishop of Gary thus beginning a new chapter for the people of God.
Reverend Dominic V. Bertino
Following the liturgy, Bishop Hying invites all present to a reception in the
school gymnasium. The Bishop looks forward to greeting everyone.
Please exit the Cathedral through the main entrance, and turn right twice. At the end of
the hallway turn left and through the passageway to the gym.
At the beginning of Bishop Melczek’s ministry to the diocese there were 95 diocesan priests active in
the diocese, 79 parishes, 30 parish schools, and a Catholic population of 182,115. He has established
one new parish, Holy Spirit, in Winfield, and ordained thirteen priests for service to the diocese. He also
ordained the first class of permanent deacons since 1984. One of his principal projects has been the
establishment of the Ministry formation program in conjunction with the Catholic Theological Union of
Chicago whereby the laity of the diocese are able to be prepared for active ministry within the diocese.
Por favor, salga de la Catedral a través de la entrada principal y gire a la derecha
dos veces. Al final del pasillo a la izquierda y a través de la pasarela al gimnasio.
