And the father of three was recently selected as this year’s recipient of the Saint Theodora Guérin Excellence in Education Award, the highest honor for a Catholic educator in the archdiocese.

Their answer was simple—difficult, but simple: “No thank you.

Photo Gallery: 2016 Indiana Women's Conference

Women at conferenceThe Holy Year of Mercy declared by Pope Francis sparked the theme of this year’s conference, “Mercy for All.” More than 560 women from across Indiana and at least two other states converged at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown hotel for the daylong event organized by the Marian Center of Indianapolis and sponsored by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Highlights included dynamic speakers, uplifting music by acclaimed Catholic singer/songwriter Annie Karto, and a Mass celebrated by Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin. There also were opportunities for eucharistic adoration, Benediction, the sacrament of reconciliation, the rosary and a healing service.
