Continuing the Connection
Message from Loyola Press
During these trying times, we need a sense of connection more than ever—connection with each other and connection with God in prayer. So I wanted to take a moment to let you know that Loyola Press cares, and that our team members stand ready to assist you in your quest for remaining calm and strong and maintaining loving, faith-filled relationships with others and with our God.
We are a ministry. We provide exemplary resources for religious education and facilitate transformative experiences of God for children and adults alike, so it is important that we continue our mission without interruption. Because the health and safety of our team are paramount, we proactively moved to a remote work environment the second week of March.
Loyola Press is fully operational. We are in constant communication with our printers and fulfillment/shipping center, and today they remain up-and-running. If printing or shipping is halted, we’re happy to report that Loyola Press has myriad digital and online resources that you can use to find peace and calm, to continue nurturing your faith and prayer life, and to educate children within your care. Here are a few ideas:
I close this letter with a prayer for you written by our own Father Bohr, SJ, Loyola Press’s Director of Mission and Identity:
Dear God, you made us creative and clever. Please, bless us, everyone in our world, with all the wit and grace and smarts to meet this pandemic and contain it. Help us to be the full, capable, generous human beings you made us to be. As always, we ask in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
Sincerely,
Joellyn Cicciarelli
