Street evangelizers near farmer’s market hope their efforts create a heavenly harvest
It’s a sun-splashed Saturday morning, a gorgeous late‑summer day that brings a crowd to the Columbus farmer’s market for fresh fruits, vegetables and baked goods, with a sampling of music and art. Less than a block from the weekly outdoor market, at the corner of 5th and Brown, Kelley Snoddy and Deacon Russell Woodard have set up their own stand—this one covered with rosaries, Miraculous Medals and pamphlets promoting the Catholic faith. Their hope is to share a religious item and start a conversation with the passersby lured by the farmer’s market, all with the intent of extending the true gift they want to offer—a closer relationship with God through the Catholic faith.

All Souls Day pilgrimage to graves offers connection to local Church’s past
An archdiocesan All Souls Day pilgrimage to the graves of archdiocesan priests will give pilgrims an opportunity to pray for the souls of those priests who have served the faithful of the archdiocese in previous years, and to learn about the history of the Church in central and southern Indiana. Julie Motyka, archdiocesan archivist, and Father Eric Augenstein, archdiocesan vocations director, will lead the one-day pilgrimage on Nov. 2. (Page 16)

How has the rosary affected your life of faith?
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the appearances of the Blessed Mother to three children in Fatima—appearances in which she instructed the children to spread the word about the importance of praying the rosary for peace in the world, for peace in people’s hearts. In honor of the Blessed Mother’s request, and since October is the month of the Holy Rosary, The Criterion is inviting readers to share their stories of how praying the rosary has made a difference in their lives and the lives of people they know.
