Not sure if many of you know, but the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist have made it to the Finals on the American Bible Challenge. They defeated the competition like it was a habit. The Season Finale for the American Bible Challenge will air on Thursday, May 23 at 9/8c. I hope you can tune in and cheer the Dominicans to Victory.
Recently, the Game Show Network began promoting the Fan Favorite of the American Bible Challenge. The Sisters have already won $40,000. On top of the $100,000 that the Dominicans could win for their Retirement Fund in the Finals, they could also receive an additional $10,000 if they win the Fan Favorite Contest. They have the potential to raise $150,000!!!
