New St. Mary-of-the-Knobs Church pays tribute to the glory of God

“Generations of Faith” came together for prayer and celebration on March 25, a beautiful early spring day, as St. Mary-of-the-Knobs Parish in scenic southern Indiana marked the dedication of its new church. Prayer cards featuring that theme and a photograph of the large crucifix in the new St. Mary-of-the-Knobs Church serve as reminders that the magnificent worship space is God’s house and that Catholics have celebrated Mass on this hill in Floyd County since 1823.
