Prayers mount ‘like jelly beans’ at St. Angela Merici

When a large vase in St. Angela Merici’s gym began filling up with jelly beans, school principal Paige Bennett occasionally had to remind visitors to refrain from eating the candies. The jelly beans – each one dropped into the vase by a St. Angela student to signify that he or she had prayed a decade of the rosary – were a colorful reminder of the youngsters’ growing Lenten prayerfulness.
