Bishop Simon Brute:

Underneath the appearance of paperwork, signatures and seals, a moment of historical significance for the archdiocese occurred this week.

On the morning of Sept. 12, Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein, along with other officials and the postulator, Andrea Ambrosi of Rome, opened the Cause of Canonization of the Servant of God
Simon Bruté, the founding bishop the Diocese of Vincennes, which became the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

“It’s a historic day because it formally now inaugurates the Cause for the potential canonization of our first bishop,” Archbishop Buechlein said. “It’s a very satisfying thing to be able to refer to him now as the Servant of God Simon Bruté.”
