"Pray, Learn, Connect from Home"
In an effort to help individuals and families find resources for spiritual growth during the COVID-19 crisis, the Diocese of Portland’s Office of Lifelong Faith Formation is offering a website with resources and links to help channel time and energy in positive ways while adjusting to more time at home.
The website is entitled “Pray, Learn, Connect from Home” and can be found at www.portlanddiocese.org/olff/covid19-home.
It offers ways and resources to maintain a fulfilling prayer life despite the temporary suspension of Masses and many in-person, parish activities; links to past and present parish bulletins; materials that help feed both spirit and mind with faith; and suggestions on how to connect with the community. The resources and materials will be updated frequently.
The website is the latest in a plethora of resources being offered by the Diocese of Portland during this difficult time. Additional opportunities can be found below and at www.portlanddiocese.org/content/response-coronavirus (will also be continually updated).
