31	27		11 Mobil gas station along a gravel US 41;
32	28		12 Whereas, In 1945, the Schilling brothers opened Schilling
33	29		13 Lumber and began a legacy of developing various properties
34	30		14 across St. John, including housing communities, restaurants,
35	31		15 gas stations, the Schilling Inn, the St. John Mall, and even the
36	32		16 first local bank;

46	42		SC 8—RC 1504/DI SM 2
47	43		1 enter into a new state and market;
48	44		2 Whereas, Outside of his work as President of Schillings
49	45		3 Home Improvement Center, Frank is a devout Catholic and
50	46		4 parishioner, his patronage having included purchasing and
51	47		5 donating local hilltop farmland to the St. John the Evangelist
52	48		6 Church, which has resided at this location since 2008;
53	49		7 Whereas, Directly across from the Church, Frank owns and
54	50		8 maintains a 15-foot tall Marian shrine, originally constructed
55	51		9 by his grandfather in 1954, and was inspired to improve the
56	52		10 shrine by building a path from it to the hilltop;
57	53		11 Whereas, Frank's alterations to the shrine have grown into
58	54		12 a decades-long multimillion dollar family investment to create

60	56		14 connecting 18 meditation grottos, 40 life-sized bronze statues,

62	58		16 shop, and accompanying audio that greets more than 200,000
63	59		17 pilgrims per year from 40 countries as one of the most popular
64	60		18 Catholic shrines in the Midwest;
65	61		19 Whereas, For his decades of work in business and in

68	64		22 2016 and given a Sagamore of the Wabash by Governor Eric
69	65		23 Holcomb in 2021; and

73	69		27 "Schilling Way": Therefore,
