Everyone Receives a Divine Call from God
DURING HIS HOMILY at the Chrism Mass on Holy Thursday, Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio announced a Year of Prayer for Vocations. I am sure that we can all understand the need for more priests, deacons and religious men and women. Our dwindling numbers have been a cause of concern for many years.
Walking at Their Pace
by Laura Kelly Fanucci
I BALANCE THE laundry basket on my hip while coaxing a sleepy preschooler downstairs. He wants me to carry him. I explain that my hands are full. He crosses his arms and pouts. I ask him to come with me. He takes one stubborn step down the first stair and glares.
Meet New Coordinator of Special Needs Religious Ed
by John DiBiase
Special Needs Religious Education.
What exactly does this broad term mean? For some, it may be as simple as not quite up to grade level in reading; for others it may describe complex needs. Regardless of the child or adult’s “special need,” there is no reason why she or he should not be admitted into the fullness of our faith.

You are vilified and snubbed, only because you have a different opinion than that which the Democratic Party espouses.
Sisters Still Relevant
Dear Editor: Rita Piro’s Up Front and Personal article, “Sisters Are as Relevant as They’ve Ever Been,” (March 25) leaves me befuddled.
Hope for the Future
Dear Editor: Your editorial, “Trump’s Choice” (March 11), underscores at least a symbolic victory as a result of last November’s presidential election. If the President’s opponent had won, do you think religious schools would have received the encouraging comments from the President and the Secretary of Education and the promise of some assistance for our religious schools?
