Greetings!
As we move to the culmination of this liturgical season, may you be well and your work thriving.
This posting includes the concluding segments of the Lesson Plan on A Timeline of Immigration and Labor in the U.S., a bulletin insert for Earth Day, and a discussion guide for the film The Big Question. Looking forward, we have also included a prayer service for the historic document Peace on Earth. We have already heard from one diocese which will be planning activities through out 2012 and 2013 to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.
