Ascension Day
Almighty God, whose blessed Son our Savior Jesus Christ ascended far above all heavens that he might fill all things: Mercifully give us faith to perceive that, according to his promise, he abides with his Church on earth, even to the end of the ages; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Message from the Bishop: Tragedies in Buffalo and Uvalde

How long will you forget me, Lord? Forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long will I be left to my own wits,
agony filling my heart? Daily?
How long will my enemy keep defeating me
-- Psalm 13:1-2 (CEB translation)
These words immediately came to mind last week after the murders in Buffalo, New York.
I have been slow to respond to the racist murders because, frankly, I have had to write you too often about such things. Is this just one more time? READ MORE

EPPN Series on Children: Kids and Climate Change |
[May 19, 2022] While climate change significantly impacts the global population, children are often more vulnerable to its effects than adults. Estimates show that children today will face three times as many climate disasters as their grandparents. In the short term, this causes injury, damage to communities, forced migration, food shortages, and water contamination. Long-term, it causes major mental health disorders, malnutrition, disease outbreaks, interruptions to children’s education, and the breakdown of social networks and families. While every child is at risk, approximately 1 billion children (about half of all children) are at “extremely high risk” of the negative impacts of climate change. READ MORE
