Social Ministry
Rainbows and Spectrum
Today in the United States, there are more than
20 million children living in a single parent
family - more than that if you include those
children in a step-family. That is 1 in every
3 in our classrooms! In time to come many more
children will have had to cope with the anguish
of losing one of their parents through death,
divorce or being born out of wedlock.
Children learn from their hearts upward; thus,
if a child hurts emotionally, he/she often has
difficulty in school. In addition, statistics
already show that a vast majority of these
grieving children are turning to drugs, alcohol
and even suicide as a means of coping.
Through the support group, we hope to assist
the child in expressing and understanding
his/her feelings, feel acceptance for what has
happened, and to feel a sense of belonging and
love. Because we are unable to answer their
questions or solve their problems, we strive to
accomplish this through the channels of peer
support, nurturing adults to guide them, and
a secure place to share themselves.
St. Patrick Parish Outreach is proud to
announce the start of another year of Rainbows and
Spectrum (the High School level). Registration is
now taking place. Call Parish Outreach at 265-2668
for further information.
Stop by the Rectory to order Masses for your departed loved
ones. Please note that the Mass Book fills quickly.
