Honoring Mental Health Awareness Month
The St. Dymphna Novena Starts Today! St. Dymphna is the patroness for those who suffer from mental illness. Join us in praying a novena throughout the nine days leading up to her feast day on May 15.
Compassion Fatigue and Resilience: Webinar with Dr. Xavier Cagigas The events in the past year have tested emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual endurance. Experts refer to the exhaustion and depletion that many have felt as compassion fatigue. As guidelines continue to change, restrictions lessen, our families and communities are called to transition and adjust once more. Individuals continue to process grief and trauma from the past year while adapting to a new sense of normalcy. Learn the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and how to face each day with resilience and hope.
