Jennifer Black Bear is the Director of Religious Education for St. Francis Mission on the Rosebud Reservation in the Diocese of Rapid City, South Dakota. Her greatest hope and dream for all the young people there is for them to learn more about God and Jesus. She wants them to be able to learn and practice the faith. “It’ll inspire them to go on to be better people. They’ll want to go on to school; they’ll want to go on and do better for their community and for our people. I’m hoping we’re making a difference by teaching them.”
