Parish responds to Connersville drug crisis by scheduling a ‘novena of rosary walks’
The town of Connersville, population just a little more than 13,000, has been rocked by a recent crisis: within 20 days between September and October, 20 heroin-related overdoses and five deaths were reported. “I prayed with it all week,” said Father Dustin Boehm, pastor of St. Gabriel Parish in Connersville and St. Bridget Parish of Ireland in Liberty. “I called Father Bob [Mazzola] and just ran this idea by him about doing a novena of rosary walks, and it just kind of fell into place from there.” (Page 1)

Soldier’s care, father’s love and child’s legacy continue to offer hope to Afghan children
For a long time, Mike Roscoe struggled with a question that challenged him in his faith: “Does God have a direct plan for us, or does he place opportunities in front of us to use our graces with his guidance?” For Roscoe, the beginning of an answer came 10 years ago as he stood by the front gate of a U.S. Army base in Afghanistan in the middle of the night, carefully watching every movement of the Afghan man standing in front of him. What happened next still continues to influence Roscoe’s life, the lives of his wife and their four children, and the lives of hundreds of other children and families. (Page 1)
