Our Doctors & Nurses Need Our Help
Can you sew? Know someone that does? Could you donate materials for those that can sew? Our doctors and nurses need our help! Many of our local COVID-19 heroes do not have personal protective equipment (PPE) due to a worldwide shortage. The CDC has approved several designs for fabric masks that can be donated to our local hospitals to keep our medical workers safe in this time of PPE shortage.
Our Church encourages us to exercise the 7 Corporal Works of Mercy, two of which are to clothe the naked and care for the sick (CCC 2447, Matthew 25:31-46). This is a wonderful way to put our faith into action by giving of ourselves, donating our time, and help those most in need.
Baskets are available in the Divine Mercy Narthex for mask donations (which will be brought to our local hospitals) as well as another for fabric, elastic, and thread donations which our amazing sewing volunteers may use as needed.
Please consider donating during this time of need. Thank you and God bless!
If you have any questions, please contact Becky Delatte (becky.delatte@gmail.com).

This is a difficult and unprecedented time for all of us.
As Catholics, we are suddenly faced with our parish doors being locked and limited access to the sacraments. This can be very disheartening. Now more than ever, we must hold fast to the great virtue of Hope.
In the words of Pope St. John Paul II “Do not be afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ.” We must open the doors of our hearts to Christ and trust in the Lord who will give us everything we need.
In an effort to assist Catholics everywhere, we are opening our doors to make the FORMED platform free to everyone for the next 40 days. Sign up today and get immediate access to the best Catholic movies, faith formation videos, audio talks, and great children’s videos.
If you are a parent with children home from school, make sure to utilize our faith formation curriculum. If you are already a FORMED subscriber, please consider sharing this opportunity with your friends and loved ones.
Click here (https://formed.org/faithathome) to access FORMED and connect with your faith via iOS, Android, desktop, connected TV (TVOS and ROKU) or XBOX.
As we are gathered together in our homes, this can be a tremendous opportunity to watch something as a family that will inspire hope and remind us all that the Lord will provide for us even through these difficult times.
Pray for us. We are praying for you.
