I hope your catechists find this helpful.

I am forwarding this to all of our catechists with encouragement for them to share with families. One of our area high schools was locked down last week with a bomb scare/evidence of materials that fit the recipe for a bomb. Not only does this take more breath away it alerts all of us to the need to stop and be more aware of each other's neeeds especially in the aftermath of a crisis. Terry Thanks, Joe!

I'm glad that I could be of help. Unless our faith tradition can speak to such events, kids will see religion as irrelevant. We need to equip them with what they need to live with faith in the real world. Chris and Kevin, thanks for the feedback. I’m glad that I could be of help.
