Dedication, commitment and faithfulness lead to new 900-seat church in Greensburg
Joan Koors finally lived to see the special day that she had dreamed about. St. Mary Parish, her spiritual home since 1951 and the faith community in which she has served as liturgy director for 35 years, was dedicating a new church. And, at 86, she was helping some 900 of her fellow parishioners call on the saints and angels by accompanying them on the new church’s organ in the praying of a litany of the saints. Parishioners and parish leaders had discussed the possibility of building a new church for some 30 years. Now it was a reality. (Page 1)

Archdiocesan pilgrimage to Notre Dame provides ‘reality of being connected’
Mary fell into Wayne while ice skating. Nelson joined the choir after meeting the parish organist, Judith. Enrique proposed to Carmen without ever having dated her. These are just a few of the circumstances that launched 64 couples down the path to marriage—unions that have lasted a half century, resulting in 3,200 years of marriage, 192 children, 377 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren. Those marriages were celebrated on Aug. 14 at the annual Golden Wedding Jubilee Mass at SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Indianapolis, sponsored by the archdiocesan Office of Pro-Life and Family Life.
