September is Suicide Prevention Month
Nearly 2% of all deaths are from suicide.  This has resulted in the tragic loss of many lives among our faithful and in our communities.  It has also resulted in devastating grief for the loved ones mourning those losses.  For helpful resources related to suicide prevention, visit the CDC website.  You can register to become an advocate for suicide prevention through the Suicide Prevention Training Institute, with sessions being offered in Tampa, September 16 and 17 and November 4 and 5.  For free liturgical resources, visit the Association of Catholic Mental Health Ministers (CMHM) website.  All are invited to participate virtually in a Mass for Suicide Healing and Remembrance with Bishop Joseph C. Bambera, of the Diocese of Scranton, on Sunday, September 18, 12:15 p.m.  The Mass will be broadcast via livestream at this link.
