SOUTHSIDER VOICE PHOTOS BY B. SCOTT MOHR In Lifetouch’s annual contest that recognizes outstanding parish directories, St. Mark Catholic Church took first place in the StoryBuilder hardback division to claim Best of the Best honors. Doug Gilliland (second from left), a church consultant with Lifetouch, presented the award to Kevin Sweeney as Ann Berkemeier and the Rev. Todd Riebe sport proud smiles. Gilliland, whose company also publishes school yearbooks and owns photography studios, said the award is quite an honor because St. Mark competed against hundreds of churches from across the country. While Sweeney laid out the directory, whose cover is depicted below, Rusty Albertson and Eric Greulich took most off the photographs.
