Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades, of the Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, blesses a statue of Blessed Solanus Casey during a dedication ceremony for the statue on Monday, July 30, at St. Felix Catholic Center, in Huntington. From 1946 to 1956, Casey resided at the center, then known as St. Felix Friary. A statue of Casey was erected to commemorate his being named “blessed” in 2017, which is one step away from being declared a saint.
