Every day of the week some type of
religious education activity is going on
in a parish somewhere in the United
States and its territories. As the hub of
lifelong faith formation, the parish – both the people and the place
– weaves together essential strands within the fabric of effective
Catholic education.

100 East Stinson Street, Norman. QPR is a suicide prevention
training which teaches how to recognize a person who may be in
crisis and get them the resources they need. QPR is one part of the
Cabrini Ministry, a program which addresses suicide prevention,
response, and education for the Archdiocese. Clergy, staff, youth
leaders, and volunteers at your parishes are encouraged to attend.
Training is limited to 30 participants per session. To register, go
to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/qpr-suicide-prevention-trainingtickets-13446620203 To opt-out of the training, the clergy may

by a staff member or volunteer about the content of the training.

Fr. Mickus,
I hope you are doing well! I am writing to see if
we could arrange a short meeting in the next
week or two. I'd like to discuss disaster
preparedness/response for the parish.
To give you a little more background, Catholic Charities is
interested in partnering with Our Lady of Sorrows in developing a
disaster response team to help the parish plan and prepare for
various disasters. This team would be trained by Catholic
Charities to respond to disaster survivors in the event of a disaster
in the Chandler community.
To ensure this team is a success for the parish, Catholic
Charities is interested in doing an initial disaster orientation this
fall/winter with the team. Thereafter, Catholic Charities would
like to meet quarterly with the team to further develop the team
and help facilitate each of the meetings. Catholic Charities will
provide 2 years of ongoing support and team interaction (meeting
quarterly with the team).
Ideally, we'd like to have at least 4 people serve on the team.
No specific background is required. We could have a mixed group
of individuals participate or a specific group within the church
(e.g. Knights) takes this on as a project. Again, whoever
volunteers to serve on the team would be committing to an initial
orientation and then meeting with the team 4 times a year (4 hour
total time commitment for the year).
Our goal is that we can develop a small team at the parish there
that will partner with Catholic Charities in the event of a disaster.
This team will serve as a vehicle by which the church is able to
reach out, minister, provide relief, and show God's love to those
who are hurting after a disaster. Team members will be trained on
how to meet with disaster survivors and do initial intake/case work
on them immediately following a disaster. Team members will
work side by side with Catholic Charities staff in talking with
disaster survivors, hearing their stories, and meeting immediate
unmet needs.
If interested, we can also discuss other ways in which the
team/parish could respond during disasters as well. This would be
up to you and the parish to decide on how much you would want to
take on during the actual response phase of a disaster.
I'd be happy to come over to Chandler whenever it is
convenient for you. Looking forward to your response. Thanks.

faithful about giving “to God what belongs to God”?
See Matthew 22:21
Please help us at the Food Pantry this
month. Set up at 9 a.m. Doors open from
10 – 12. Contact Gene Holleman if you
