Resources for Parish Leaders
We continue to pray for our brothers and sisters who have been affected by COVID-19, ourselves and our families. This is an opportunity for our Catholic community to come together in prayer and service. For this reason the Archdiocese is launching in partnership with Saint Vincent De Paul and the Knights of Columbus, Hearts to Serve, a hotline to serve our families in need but most importantly our elderly community who are homebound during this difficult time. Hours of Operation will be 8am-6pm

Mental Health Resources
- Resource links on mental health – shared by Dr. Heather Banis (Victims Assistance Ministry Coordinator), who says, “They are from reputable, respected sources and offer a good overview of mental health, mental illness, ‘red flags’ and how to respond to them as well as how to identify good resources.” The list of resources are found here: https://www.psychiatry.org/psychiatrists/cultural-competency/engagement-opportunities/mental-health-and-faith-community-partnership.
- “A Catholic Approach to Psychological First Aid” – the latest in the webinar series offered by Whole Person Care is now available for viewing along with their earlier webinars here: https://lacatholics.org/whole-person-care/.
