On Wednesday morning, over 200 people attended the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) Chaplaincy Prayer Breakfast at the Mill Top Banquet & Conference Center, 802 Mulberry St., Noblesville.

The event was hosted by Senior Chaplain Mark Fidler. The guest speaker, Keith Williams, spoke about his life-changing events and the opportunities that the Chaplaincy and its programs offered to him. The event included prayers to uplift law enforcement, and leaders at the community, local, and state levels, as well as for chaplaincy programs.

The event raised more than $10,000 to support and maintain the HCSO Chaplaincy programs. The wonderful and hospitable breakfast was provided by Ginger’s Café of Noblesville. Thank you for your continued support of this event.

The HCSO Chaplaincy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nondenominational, faith-based organization serving public safety personnel, those who work or reside in public safety facilities, as well as all residents of Hamilton County. It is a supportive group of qualified ministers and counselors assisting in matters of personal, marriage, job, and spiritual as needed, and is available during times of emergency.

Staff consists of one full-time senior chaplain, eight volunteer chaplains, Administrator Phyllis Caudill, and more than 150 community volunteers. No public funds are used.

Volunteer Chaplains include Dwight Williams, Tom Kendall, Gerry Griffith, Chip Johnson, Don Schauwecker, Chuck Stout, Jody Brown, and Pamela Mallory.
