THE POPE’S INTENTION FOR  OCTOBER:  For Mental Health Ministry

Let us pray that the mental health ministry be established throughout the Church, helping to overcome the stigma and discrimination of persons with mental illnesses.

LIVE SIMPLY OCTOBER:  Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas,  reminds us that every person is a wonder, created in the image of God, let's put our phones down and make time for face-to-face conversations. Let's use AI responsibly, only when it is genuinely helpful and reduce our digital storage by deleting old emails, WhatsApps and unwanted photos.
