Students of All Saints, Our Lady of Lourdes, St. Andrew-St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Saint Antoninus and St. Michael (Ripley) schools were all smiles to have Fr. Faysal visit them!

Fr. Faysal was all smiles too!

The students asked him many questions about life in the Holy Land compared with life in Ohio.

Father taught them a bit of Arabic both spoken and written. He explained the benefits of learning other languages. He speaks four!

Fr. Faysal prayed with the students, and he promised them that on Christmas Day when he is celebrating Mass in Bethlehem in Manger Square, the place of Jesus’ birth, that he will pray for each of them and their families.

Fr. Faysal ended his visits asking  the students to pray for him and the children of the Holy Land.
