Bishop’s Schedule

Faith sustains soldiers, family during wartimes - Army Capt. Alex Graziano sits in the Catholic chaplain’s office at Soldier’s Chapel in Fort Campbell, Ky., his weathered hands clasping a camouflage bandana with Psalm 91 inscribed on it. “… I shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day…” it reads.

“These terms are very tangible to me,” he said. The strength Graziano draws from the psalm carried him through many security missions during his two deployments to Iraq. “That peace of mind is huge when you have a whole bunch of craziness staring you in the face.”
