‘West Wing’ Star Visits Dayton For Stang Memorial

DAYTON, Ohio -- Actor Martin Sheen is visiting Dayton Wednesday to honor Sister Dorothy Stang, the Dayton native who was killed last year in Brazil.
Sheen will unveil a portrait of her at Chaminade-Julienne High School. The actor and the nun graduated from Chaminade and Julienne before two schools merged.
Sheen commissioned the painting, which will eventually hang in a Cincinnati convent.
While in Dayton, the "West Wing" star also will go to a prayer service and give a talk about social justice issues to students from area high schools.
Stang was gunned down last year by men allegedly working for ranchers opposed to her work to save the Brazilian rainforest. Two men are now serving prison sentences.
