March 23, 2020 Letter from Dr. Hughes
to Parish Catechetical Leaders Regarding the Coronavirus
Prayer from the ArchbishopLoving and faithful God, the coronavirus reminds us that we have no power and we are dependent on you. We place ourselves in your loving hands. Give eternal rest to all who have died from the virus. Place your healing hand on those who are ill, and give your protection to us in this time of fear and uncertainty. Calm our fears and help us to trust you as our faithful God. Enlighten our government and Church leaders as they are faced with important decisions. Give blessing to those in health care and protect them.We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.

RCIA Will Never Be the Same Again
Many of us who guide and form spiritual seekers are hoping for a return to normal as soon as the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. But normal probably won’t look like what we are used to. The effects of the pandemic have permanently ruptured “the way we’ve always done it.” For the most part, that is a good thing.
In this webinar, Nick Wagner and Diana Macalintal of Team RCIA will look at some ways initiation ministry and our lives as disciples will be permanently changed for the better.
You are invited to a special webinar for parish and school leaders:
