A look at the lives, faith of two diocesan priests
CHARLOTTE — His day began, as it typically does, at 5 a.m. Then from 5:30-6:30 a.m., before many people are even awake, Msgr. John McSweeney prayed the Liturgy of the Hours. Every morning begins with prayer, he said.

'Models of the Great Designer'
Teen girls take fashion high road
CHARLOTTE — A runway extended to the center of the second-floor ballroom at the Westin hotel. A cluster of young girls lined the platform anxiously awaiting the beginning of the show. When the models emerged, the clothes became the backdrop as the message of purity took center stage.
It was the first annual Pure Fashion show in Charlotte, April 13. The show was the culmination of a seven-month program in which 69 teen girls between the ages of 14 and 18 learned the value of dressing modestly in a not-so-modest world.
