Fighting Domestic Violence During the Covid-19 Crisis

DV hotline calls have increased during this crisis. Experience and data tell us that financial crises, home confinement and prolonged stress exacerbate the frequency and intensity of domestic violence. If you know or suspect someone is a victim, please check on them! If they are in immediate need, help them call 911 or call the National DV Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. The Illinois Domestic Violence Hotline, 877-863-6338 can also be called, as well as any other reputable DV resource to help victims connect with support and services. Check out the Archdiocese's page on Domestic Violence.

Calls to Prayer

Cardinal Blase Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, asked Catholic parishes to ring their church bells five times a day, as a means of calling all to unite in prayer during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prayer times begin at 9am and continue every three hours each day, with the last bells rung at 9pm. Each of the five prayer times will be dedicated to a specific group particularly affected by the pandemic. Queen of All Saints was recently posted on the Diocese's Facebook page with bells ringing and a few bird calls in the background!

Pope Francis, Mary and the Coronavirus

During this difficult time, pray Pope Francis's Prayer to Mary during the Coronavirus listed here. Also, read the letter of His Holiness to the faithful for the month of May 2020. He asks that you pray the Rosary at home during this month followed by two prayers to Our Lady that can be recited at the end of the Rosary. The prayers follow his letter.
