March 6-7 DID YOU KNOW? 

---

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many children are grieving — they may have lost family members, they are cut off from their friends and their routines, and their lives have changed significantly. Parents can help children work through their strong emotions by acknowledging their feelings and encouraging children to talk about them. Talk with them honestly and simply, helping them to answer any questions they might have about why this is happening, or what will happen next. Often, showing children that they are loved unconditionally can help them handle strong feelings of loss and sadness.

Ayudando a los niños a sobrellevar el dolor

Con la pandemia de COVID-19 en desarrollo en este momento, muchos niños están sufriendo: pueden haber perdido a miembros de su familia, están separados de sus amigos y sus rutinas, y sus vidas han cambiado significativamente. Los padres de familia pueden ayudar a los niños a superar sus emociones más intensas reconociendo sus sentimientos y alentando a los niños a hablar sobre ellos. Platique con ellos de manera honesta y sencilla, ayudándolos a responder cualquier pregunta que puedan tener sobre por qué está sucediendo esto o qué sucederá después. A menudo, mostrarles a los niños que son amados incondicionalmente puede ayudarlos a manejar fuertes sentimientos de pérdida y tristeza.

The strength of the Church is not in numbers, but in love. Your contribution, large or small, is the one that matters.

Our goal is 100% participation. No gift is too small. 

You are the one who can provide parishes and schools with the resources they need. Your gift can be the one that allows a priest to serve communities in need. It can help a school make essential repairs for the safety of their students. It can enable parishioners to have a place to celebrate Mass.
