Faithful Fathers: Raised in Indianapolis, priest likes being a country pastor
In conjunction with the Year for Priests, The Criterion is beginning a new monthly feature titled “Faithful Fathers.” We plan to profile a priest from each deanery during the next 11 months. This week, we interview Father Robert Hankee, pastor of St. Maurice Parish in Napoleon and sacramental minister of Immaculate Conception Parish in Millhousen and St. Denis Parish in Jennings County, all in the Batesville Deanery.(Page 7)
