CWN Editor's Note: A new church in the diocese of Cefalu will be dedicated to Blessed Giuseppe Puglisi, a priest who was killed by Mafia gunmen in 1993.

Bishop Giuseppe Marciante of Cefalu announced that the church will be built on a site that Italian law-enforcement officials confiscated from the Mafia. The church will also honor Rosario Livatino, a magistrate who was another Mob assassination victim.
