General Announcements
Mass for death-row inmate, presentation on capital punishment set for Dec. 2
In 1994, Matthew Wrinkles murdered his estranged wife, Debra, her brother, Mark Fulkerson, and his wife, Natalie Fulkerson. Wrinkles was convicted and sentenced to death in 1995. He is an inmate at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, Ind., and is scheduled to be executed on Dec. 11.
Wrinkles’ children and Mary Winnecke, Natalie Fulkerson’s mother, have forgiven Wrinkles and campaigned for clemency for him.
A Mass will be celebrated for Wrinkles, his victims and family members beginning at noon on Dec. 2 at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral, 1347 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis. Msgr. Joseph F. Schaedel, vicar general, will be the celebrant.
