March week 2:

What are our Rights and Responsibilities, and how does that relate to cancel culture?

This week I dive into a pop culture phenomena and how it relates to our Rights and Responsibilities as good Christians and Catholics.

Rights and Responsibilities

Parish Survey

Hey all you wonderful parents AND students! Can we ask you a small favor? Take this 10 minute survey about our parish. It will help us have a better understanding of how we function together in worship and programming. We want everyone’s input, including students! Click on the link below to get started! Thank you so much!

The Survey

We need some help!

The parish is working on two Easter projects: Making Easter cards for the homebound, and Easter cookie delivery during Holy week. We need volunteers to help with these opportunities ASAP. The cards can me made by anyone in your household, including little ones. Cookie delivery will happen Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday. If you are able to help, contact the parish office for cookie delivery at 835-6777, and email Lyn Pajk for Easter card info at lynp@blessed-midland.org. Thank you!

Stations at Home!

Our Elementary Formation director, Corinne Cathcart, along with some amazing volunteers, has put together this virtual Stations of the Cross. Spend 20 minutes with your family this week participating in stations with this wonderful video.

March Week 2:

Each week you will receive a thought provoking question that has to do with the themes for the month. This month, the themes are Bury the Dead, and the Catholic Social Teaching: Rights and Responsibilities

Use your journal to privately respond to the question. You may also find it beneficial to have your journal handy for the Sunday Night lessons.

Here is your journal question for this week:

- How do you react when you hear or see something you find offensive or wrong? (Not how do you WISH you would react, but how you actually react.)

A perfect Lenten reflection song and one of the top 10 most play songs on my personal playlist.

Mental Health

If you are struggling mentally, I encourage you to reach out to a licensed health professional to talk, seek advice, or any other help you might need. It is difficult for us to be united as a church if we do not feel whole inside. Partners in Change has set up a series of local doctors to speak once a month via Google Meet. Follow the link below to register for free to the Partners in Change speakers.

We all approach our mental health differently. It is universally accepted, however, that we need some kind of outlet. My brother, a physician in New York, recently shared with me an app called Gris, which has helped him deal with the death, long hours, and stress he has experienced and witnessed in the past 10 months.
