BY BONNIE ELBERSON

PIERCETON — The members of St. Francis Xavier Parish in Pierceton are unanimous in their love for and praise of the small Catholic community and nearly all are active in church life and events. Brian Sexton, a relative newcom- er to the parish who moved from the Gary diocese, says St. Francis parishioners are very welcoming. Though he came from a large par- ish with many more ministries, he believes that a larger percentage of St. Francis parishioners are active in the church. “The great thing about a smaller church is that you get to know people ... you feel more like family,” Sexton said. As a person who likes to be involved, he headed up the RCIA TIM JOHNSON program last year and now serves The present St. Francis on the parish council. “I’m always Xavier Church was there,” he said, if Father Chuck dedicated in 1972 Herman needs something done. by Bishop Joseph R.
