When Sr. Elsa Narváez Rodríguez started working at the Boston Archdiocese seven years ago, she was surprised to receive some letters in Spanish from prisoners in different jails throughout the country, asking the Catholic Church to send them the word of God in their language. "What has happened? We have not received the Bible study for a while," said one of the first letters Narváez Rodríguez read.
