From our Diocese
Subject: 2020 First Communions are delayed, not
cancelled It is the Easter Season and we are cele-
brating the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus
Christ. Typically, during this season parish commu-
nities all over the Diocese of Dallas also celebrate
young disciples receiving the Lord in His Body and
Blood in their First Holy Communion. Due to
COVID-19, parish celebrations of First Holy Com-
munion have been postponed but they are not can-
celled. Our children will receive Jesus in the Eucha-
rist when the Bishop, in consultation with local au-
thorities, determines that it is safe for us to gather
together again. Each parish will determine a date
and time for their celebrations of First Holy Com-
munion. If you have any questions or concerns,
please contact your local parish for the most up to
date information.
This also applies to Confirmation and RCIA.

De nuestra diócesis
Asunto: Primeras Comuniones del 2020 han
sido pospuestas, no canceladas
Es la temporada de Pascua y estamos
celebrando la Resurrección de Nuestro Señor
Jesucristo. Usualmente, durante esta temporada
las comunidades parroquiales de toda la Diócesis
de Dallas celebran también que los jóvenes
discípulos reciben al Señor en Su Cuerpo y
Sangre en su Primera Comunión.
Debido al COVID-19, las celebraciones
parroquiales de la Primera Comunión han sido
pospuestas, pero no han sido canceladas.
Nuestros hijos recibirán a Jesús en la Eucaristía
cuando el Obispo, en consulta con las
autoridades locales, determine que no corremos
ningún riesgo al volver a reunirnos.
Cada parroquia determinará una fecha y hora
para sus celebraciones de la Primera Comunión.
Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud,
comuníquese con su parroquia local para
obtener la información más actualizada.
Esto también se aplica a la Confirmación y
RCIA.

COVID-19 CANCELLATIONS – THE GIFT OF TIME
What to do when…Work, School, Church, Events, Trips are cancelled? by Susan
Vogt
FIRST THINGS FIRST Survival: If you are faced with illness, loss of income, or no discretionary time because you are responding to the needs of Covid-19 victims – Lean on us who have the time to help. For the rest of us: Covid-19 and cancellations may be an inconvenience but we have the gift of extra free time that has been opened up by the cancellations. Following are some ideas.
PAUSE 1. It’s OK to feel sad It’s human to regret missing something you planned to do. Take a moment to
grieve your loss…and then go on with your life.
2. Be prayerful Assuming that your basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, health, and income are met,
remember that some of our “neighbors” are in need of these basics. Be grateful and prayerful.
3. Respond to those in need. Assuming that your brain is still open and working, consider what actions
you may be able to take to relieve someone’s lack of food, clothing, shelter, health, or income. After that –
USE YOUR FOUND TIME WELL
Work: If your job is reduced, delayed, or the venue changed to home, BUT your income is not seriously
impacted you have the gift of extra time. You could always binge watch TV or videos but what may you have
been putting off because you just didn’t have the time?
1. Clean or Declutter – your home. See Living Lightly blog for ideas. 2. Exercise – Start or expand home exercise options. Climb those stairs, walk, or bike more. 3. Cook – Offer extras to neighbors who don’t have the time or places that feed the hungry. 4. Garden – Get your garden ready for planting. 5. Repair – something that’s broken. 6. Communicate – Talk on the phone or internet with friends and family. 7. Meditate, Read, Write. School: If you are a student or parent of a student, a school closure changes everything. College and high school students can often continue studies at home if they have a structure or are self-motivated. For elementary age students it’s harder not to just fritter the time away and requires more parental involvement. But what to do when the school work is done? 1. Have a Family Meeting to plan a family outing or “inning”. See Just Family Nights. 2. Creative play – Pull out those old board games (Monopoly, Scrabble, cards, Settlers…) 3. Tell stories or answer one of these 65 Family Questions 4. Play outside – Ride bikes, hunt for recyclable trash, Hide & Seek, skate 5. Read library books 6. Play dress-up with stuff around the house. 7. If all else fails – Help around the house. Church: It’s good to gather and pray with people who share your faith and values. But, with churches, mosques, and temples also canceling services it doesn’t mean that you need to be in a spiritual desert. 1. Have “Church at Home” – a special meal that includes breaking bread and grape juice. 2. Include scripture, discussion, petitions, the Our Father, sign of peace, a blessing, song. 3. See Beyond Grace and Bedtime for additional ideas. 4. A Church “Service” need not always look like worship. Consider these Family Service ideas Events & Trips: Put these nice but optional things in perspective. Follow the advice of Queen Elsa in Frozen and Let It Go.
Reporting Abuse: If you believe that you, or someone you know, is a victim of past or present abuse or sexual abuse, please notify law enforcement. In the event the abuse involves a minor, please also contact the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services through the Texas Abuse Hotline at 1-800-252-5400 or www.txabusehotline.org). Finally, if the abuse involves a member of the clergy, a parish employee, or diocesan employee, please also notify the Diocese of Dallas Victims Assistance Coordinator, Barbara Landregan, at 214-379-2812 or [email protected] .
MARRIAGE MOMENTS
During this time of the coronavirus many couples have more time together because physical distancing has cancelled many social activities. Yes, you can watch movies but perhaps also take time to reminisce together. Go through old photo albums, letters, memories...
PARENTING POINTERS
"May Day!" It can be a call for help or a time for enjoying nature. Maybe do a little of each with your child today.
