National Suicide Prevention Month
September 2021
In 2008, September was first declared as National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. To raise awareness and to open dialogue and discussion about suicide, the Health Ministry, with support and assistance from ministries in the Pillars of Living, Learning, and Liturgy, will be conducting educational and spiritual activities in the coming weeks.
As our team discussed the planning for this awareness campaign, we began to open up to one another about our own stories of someone in our lives who has died by suicide, and/or currently experiencing mental health conditions or crisis.
As our team discussed the planning for this awareness campaign, we began to open up to one another about our own stories of someone in our lives who has died by suicide, and/or currently experiencing mental health conditions or crisis.
As a result, we realized that probably more people than we know have similar stories but are too uncomfortable to talk about it. Unfortunately, shame, stigma, and the “uncomfortableness” play a big role in preventing someone from openly discussing what he/she feels or is going through or what they have suffered.
We will have "You Are Loved!" cards available in front of the church at each Mass this weekend. Please enjoy this opportunity to write a kind word to someone who might need a bit of encouragement during these uncertain times.
“Whoever suffers mental illness always bears
God’s image and likeness and has an
inalienable right to be considered
a person and treated as such”.
– Saint Pope John Paul II

Christian Meditation
This is an opportunity to learn a simple but profound way into a deeper union with the Spirit of Christ.
Meditation is an ancient form of Christian prayer that seeks God in the silence and stillness beyond words or images.
This is a practice deeply rooted in the Gospels and originating with the early Desert Fathers and Mothers of the fourth century.
