Saint John’s Bible

The Church of St. Odilia is the recipient of a generously donated seven-volume Heritage Edition of the St. John’s Bible! 

The John Roberts Company, a printing firm in Coon Rapids, donated a copy of the Heritage Edition of the St. John's Bible to St. Odilia.

Click on the image above to hear the story of how St. Odilia received this tremendous gift in memory of long-time parishioner Robert Keene, father of Michael Keene, who is now the owner of the John Roberts Company.

The St. John's Bible is the first handwritten and illuminated bible in 500 years. The Heritage Edition is a limited-edition full-size reproduction enhanced by hand with real gold and silver foil applications and leather-covered binding. When the cover is closed, it's 2 feet by 3 feet and each volume weighs approximately 20 pounds. Read more HERE.
