From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

The prayerful moments at the Monastery Gift Shop stood out to me as I spoke with Sister Rosa Lee Koch. But that makes sense, right?

This didn't make it into the story, but when I asked her how she felt that day the gift shop opened 30 years ago, she said, "I was terrified."

It was a new endeavor, and she didn't have any experience. Fortunately, she had a lot of help from other business owners and, as pointed out, Joseph Storey, from Dillard's.

Check it out in the headlines today. And check out the gift store over at the monastery.

Have a good day.

We will send out election results tonight as they come in. You can follow those on our Facebook page.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane
