Kaleb Chatham, a third grader at John Paul II Catholic School in Morganfield, received his COVID-19 vaccine in the morning of Saturday, Nov. 6. His mother, Kaley Chatham, emailed JPII principal Beth Hendrickson (who later shared the message with The Western Kentucky Catholic with permission): “He was feeling so nervous but we said a decade of the rosary beforehand, he wore his saint shirt, and asked St. Michael the Archangel for courage. He did great and was so brave. His faith is so strong and JPII is such a big part of that. I love our school and our Catholic faith!”
