When you ask some people what the thrill of a lifetime would be to them, some might say a dream vacation. Others might say meeting a head of state or, perhaps, royalty.
Three religious sisters from the Catholic Teachers of the Sacred Heart of Jesus from Mexico who work as missionaries in Batesville with St. Mary’s Catholic Church recently had such a moment when they had a face-to-face meeting with His Holiness Pope Francis in Vatican City.
Sr. Ana Luisa (above, left), Sr. Maria (center), and Sr. Ana Lilia (right) dropped by the White River Now studios to visit with Chad Whiteaker about the experience of meeting the Pope.
