SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- This week ABC57 Kickoff is taking a look back at the story of Father Andrew Budzinski, as Kickoff celebrates 10 years on air.
Back in 2018 Kickoff introduced you to Father Budzinski and told you how he came to be a leader in the church after getting his start cheering the Irish on as the Notre Dame Leprechaun in the early 90s.
