'A piece of heaven': Toledo Catholics invigorated after National Eucharistic Congress
A young Daniel Thomas once sat in a pew at Mass and noticed his father striking his breast and saying, “My Lord and my God,” at the consecration. That was the Toledo bishop’s earliest memory of coming to understand the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Those words, spoken by the apostle Thomas after Jesus’ resurrection, are included on the bishop’s personal coat of arms. Bishop Thomas also used the biblical story in the impact session he gave Friday afternoon to some of the 60,000 Catholics gathered in Indianapolis for the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, the first in nearly a century. He and Sister Mercy Marie spoke about the mercy shown in the Eucharist, especially as it relates to abortion. Come November, Bishop Thomas will head the Committee on Pro-Life Activities for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for a three-year term.

UT’s College of Law, Adrian College Launch Joint Degree Program
The University of Toledo and Adrian College announced a joint degree agreement on Wednesday, creating a pathway for students to simultaneously earn a juris doctor from UT and a master of arts in criminal justice from Adrian College. “The master of arts in criminal justice-juris doctor partnership between Adrian College and The University of Toledo College of Law will create exciting opportunities for students at both institutions,” said Nathan Goetting, professor and director of the Romney Institute for Law and Public Policy at Adrian College. “Many of Adrian College’s best criminal justice graduate students are interested in law and many UToledo law students hope to become criminal attorneys,” he said. “This program will enable the former to achieve their academic and professional goals sooner and the latter to earn an extra credential by taking advanced criminal justice courses and conducting high-level research on the topic of their choice.” Students who enroll in the joint degree program can earn both degrees with the same number of credit hours needed to earn a law degree at UT.
