Authored by Sr. M. Johanna Paruch in Issue #3.1 of Catechetical Review
En esta serie de reportajes relacionados con la catequesis para las personas con discapacidades, volvemos la mirada hacia San Pablo quien nos dijo que nuestra actitud debe de ser la de Cristo (Cf.

From the Shepherds — Learning From the Charism of St. John Bosco
