For the past decade Ken Murphy kept building on his plans for a River Outfitting store. Murphy, owner of Adventure Outdoors LLC and its divisions, Glenwood Adventure Co. and Lakota Guides, has offered whitewater rafting equipment and guided tours for over 30 years.

Being a stigmatist means someone either literally or mystically bore the wounds of Christ’s Passion. Boniszewska began to have mystical experiences in 1921 that lasted over the next six decades.

Antoni Ząbek, who served her community and was accused of being “a Vatican spy seeking to undermine the Soviet Union.” ....
Shreveport Times Five Roman Catholic priests who died in Shreveport during the yellow fever epidemic of 1873 have been recognized as Servants of God, the first step in the process toward being recognized as a saint. The Vatican s Congregation for the Causes of the Saints has reviewed their stories and has granted the Diocese of Shreveport permission to begin the process of gathering evidence of the sanctity of the lives and the cult of devotion to Father Jean Pierre, Father Isidore A.
