        We've grouped several happenings on this page for the month of January. First, on January 14, Father Taylor was honored at the annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Indiana Holiday Commission statewide celebration. Along with a panel of distinguished honorees, Father Taylor recived a recognition from Governor Mitch Daniels and other dignitaries. Local choirs provided music.
