Church blessing in Crawford County

This photo shows the Knights of Columbus in procession for the blessing of a new church building at St. Joseph Parish in Crawford County. The previous church was destroyed in the devastating tornadoes of April 3, 1974. The new church was dedicated on Aug. 27, 1978. Reading a prayer is Father (later Msgr.) Francis Tuohy, who was vicar general of the archdiocese at that time. Holding the book is Father Andrew Diezeman, who was the pastor of the New Albany Deanery parish.
