Adult Education: The Case for Jesus
Can we trust the Gospels? Do we really know who wrote them? Do the Gospels communicate truth—or fabricated fables? Who is Jesus? Who did Jesus claim to be? We join Dr. Brant Pitre as he draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels, and as he gives an in-depth look at the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Christ’s divinity.
This study begins Thursday, January 19, 2023 and will be held over Zoom. Contact the parish office to get the Zoom link. Study workbooks are $10/ea and will be available in the parish office beginning January 3, 2023.

QUEEN OF THE ROSARY SCHOOL REPORT
This December, the sixth grade students became restaurant owners! After learning about food and restaurant vocabulary and translating Spanish menus through our online textbook called Voces, the students created menus for their own restaurants. Students
could create any kind of restaurant they liked and then present their menu to the class on either a Google Slides presentation or on paper. Students created restaurants with themes centered around ice cream, Italian food, Mexican food, fast food, and various others. The students did a wonderful job! You can see an example of their project below.
