1st Graders at St. Rose of Lima Receive Bibles

200 first graders at St. Rose of Lima in Newtown, Connecticut received their very first bible in special small prayer sessions attended by parents and led by Pam Arsenault, the Director of Religious Education.

“This BibleTalks” by Pamela Fisher is a gift from The Servants of the Father of Mercy and Our Sunday Visitor. The grant was written by Brother Gary Joseph of the Servants of the Father of Mercy. Many thanks to him and The Grant Director at Our Sunday Visitor, Jerry Kearns for this generous gift. The children were delighted as they listened to their personal bible narrate a familiar bible story.
