First, thank you for all you continue to do for your parishioners -please know that you are being lifted up in prayer for ongoing strength and courage through this crisis.
As we all seek new ways to minister through social distancing, I wanted to reach out with resources provided by the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) to help you connect with other clergy:
