September 28, 2015, Washington, DC – Rosarian Academy eighth graders expressed their excitement at being part of history last week when they attended Pope Francis’ address to the U.S. Congress. The six eighth-graders – as well as a group of chaperones that included Sister Donna Baker, OP – received tickets to this historic event through the generosity of Rep. Lois Frankel. Watch CBS Channel 12’s coverage of the students’ reaction to this special opportunity.
