Children's Grief Awareness Day - Today 11/21
To help grieving children feel less alone and more supported through changing the culture surrounding children and grief - this is the mission of Children's Grief Awareness Day, observed every year on the Thursday before Thanksgiving. This is a particularly appropriate time of year to support grieving children because the holiday season is often an especially difficult time after a death.
Special thanks to Mary Curley for heading this beautiful event.

Adoration II
“Let the entire man be seized with fear; let the whole world tremble; let heaven exult when Christ, the Son of the Living God, is on the altar in the hands of the priest. O admirable height and stupendous condescension! O humble sublimity! O sublime humility! that the Lord of the universe, God and the Son of God, so humbles Himself that for our salvation He hides Himself under a morsel of bread.” - St Francis of Assisi
Soon enough, golden signs will appear in the hallways between 11:15 and 12:15 Monday – Wednesday. On them will appear the symbol of a Monstrance to let everyone know when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed for Adoration.
