Last week he read a story about immigrants and the foods they brought with them to the United States. At the end of the story were three recipes from around the world. When Adan saw that one of the recipes was from India, he had an idea. “Father Papa is from India. Maybe he knows how to make this food!” Adan exclaimed. Sure enough, St. Pat- rick’s Catholic Parish priest, Father Papa Rao Pasala, went to the school and helped Adan cook the food, green pulao, for his class. The dish was a big hit, as the students ate seconds and asked for thirds. Father Papa also showed the students where he was from, talked about Heppner Elementary fourth-grader Adan Guerra looks on as schools in India, and even Father Papa Rao Pasala of St. Patrick’s Catholic Parish gives sang a song for them. a brief geography lesson. –Contributed photo St. Pat’s to hold VBS next week St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Heppner will hold a free vacation Bible school next Monday through Thurs- day, June 15 through 18, at the church parish hall.
