A labor of love: Ministry that grants wishes coming to an end
For more than a decade Bob Haverstick has been executive director of Never Too Late, an Indianapolis nonprofit organization dedicated to making dreams come true for senior citizens.

Gardners’ 40-year marriage, ministry as pastoral musicians centered around music
Charlie and Dianne Gardner have been making music together for more than 40 years. And, over that time, they have helped Catholics across central and southern Indiana sing praise to God. They met in the late 1960s and were both interested in music, and would play and sing together with groups of friends.
In the years that followed, they became trailblazing lay pastoral musicians in the archdiocese, ministering at a number of parishes over the past four decades. (Page 1)
