Immaculate Conception PSR in Park Hills Creates Rosaries
Immaculate Conception PSR in Park Hills recently created 101 handmade rosaries for our missions in Bolivia! The project has become a Lenten tradition for the PSR class. Msgr. Blood recently visited the parish and thanked the students for their generosity.
Fr. Patrick Hayden, pastor of Maria Reina Parish in La Paz, will soon be taking the rosaries back down to Bolivia, where he will distribute them.
Special thanks to Immaculate Conception PSR for the beautiful rosaries!
