Wavin' Their Bibles in South Carolina!

Joe Paprocki Comings & Goings

Here’s a pic of about 100 happy catechists and DREs in Columbia, South Carolina, proudly waving their Bibles on Saturday! I enjoyed a wonderful day with them as we focused on the Catholic approach to Scripture…something that is much needed in the Bible Belt!

Nik Wallenda, the Grand Canyon, and Faith in Jesus Christ

  1. Hi Joe, I was at the AWESOME Presentation in Columbia SC. and asked about the DVD of some of your Presentations. I will be emailing you to buy one probably in a few weeks, but just wanted to say that you provoked such a great amount of thought I will be reading and re-reading the books my DRE purchased when we were there. Thank you, Ryckie Watkins, Charleston, SC
