Our virtue today is: Perseverance! Join us in the beautiful city of Paris where we meet the famous pigeon choir of the Notre Dame.

Sometimes reaching your dreams requires a lot more work than you expected!
Discussion questions for kids:

2) Have you ever persevered when something got hard? How did it feel when you did that? Was it worth it in the end?
