A number of Catholic organizations have developed opportunities to take individual actions to protect groups of people that are particularly vulnerable as a result of Covid-19. As you reflect during this time of transformation, I invite you to prayerfully consider signing on to any or all of these initiatives.

LCWR is asking all of us to designate June 1 as a National Day of Mourning and Lament for the 100,000 people who have died from Covid-19. We are invited to contact our elected officials and ask them to publicly remember the dead. I will post more on this on the Stuart Center Facebook page as I receive information.
