The work of Ascending Lights was recognized recently when Pope Benedict XVI named founder Gary Krauss a Knight Commander of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great. No horses or armor were included, though!
Gary has worked full time as C.E.O. without monetary compensation since the inception of the agency in 1992. His wife, Marjorie, a nurse, supports the family. They live in a barrio near downtown Los Angeles.
To date a total of 67 Christian leaders from 37 inner city churches of varying denominations have benefited from Ascending Lights programs.
Cardinal Roger Mahony invested Gary and others with their Papal honors on March 11 of this year.
