The coronavirus pandemic has created a tremendous transition for our families and schools.   The pandemic restrictions have also been very difficult for our churches and diocese.   To express our support for Bishop Brennan and our pastors in this crisis, the Diocesan Office of Schools is compiling a video to thank the bishop and pastors.   Please send pictures of your students doing school work, participating in prayer, or holding signs of thanks to mritzert@cdeducation.org.   We will post pictures on our webpage, Facebook pages, and send them on to the diocese for the video project.    Thank-you!!
 
Participation in Stations of the Cross is a Lenten and Holy Week tradition.  If you can not watch one of the local parishes present the Stations via social media, here’s a link from Pflaum Publishing designed for family participation.
