MINISTRY IN THE TIME OF COVID-19:

Parish ministries are not meeting face to face right now. But, that doesn’t mean your ministry has to slow down! Now is a great time to reach new people, educate and form parishioners, and accompany those in need. Here are some tips to help you get started:

  • Hold online meetings or events
  • Invite speakers or create panels of experts on a subject
  • Ask your parish office if there is a list of sick or homebound parishioners who could use friendly phone calls
  • Identify a local service organization and do a virtual fundraiser
  • Participate in a rosary novena for peace
  • Listen to Pope Francis’ audience messages about Catholic social ministry and discuss
  • Watch videos on Catholic Social Teaching and have a virtual discussion
  • Promote Civilize It in your parish through email, social media, or phone conversations. Encourage people to be active this political season but to keep the focus on living their faith and loving their neighbor! (Download the Pledge 2020 and the Bulletin Insert (PDF Versions)
