Greetings!
May you and yours be well and may our arms, eyes, heart, and mind be open to the movement of the Holy Spirit that we remember and welcome on the upcoming Feast of Pentecost. Please take few minutes to review our most current resources: a long overdue popular resource on The Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace's statement on world finance; a Scripture reflection on Pentecost; a compilation of movie reviews for teaching immigration; as well as a prayer for Pentecost. I also urge you to read the one page discussion guide for the documentary Soldiers of Conscience, an excellent film for both classrooms and parishes.
If you are not already a member please join us now! If you have let your membership lapse please renew now! (Please consider making a donation above membership fees so we can keep our rates low). Thank you for your ongoing support. Kerry Kerry Danner-McDonald, Director kdanner@coc.org |

Readings, Reflections, Connections and Prayer
The Lectionary Reflections by Fr. John Bucki, S.J., provide an excellent resource for personal or communal reflection on the Word as well as ideas for homily preparation. Each reflection includes a list of the readings, quotes for reflection, connections to Catholic Social Teaching, Prayers of the Faithful/Petitions, links for action and more.
