Superintendent of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of New York Michael J. Deegan sent a Mother’s Day letter to all Catholic School parents today, which he summed up as follows:
“As we focus on the dynamic of the home, now more than ever we must remember and honor the thousands of Catholic school parents who cannot work from home because their careers are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please join me in saying a Hail Mary for all of our parents — especially the mothers — who are doctors, firefighters, nurses, police officers and EMTs. Please also pray for all our parents who are keeping supply lines moving, stocking shelves and proving all the services our society needs to get to the other side of this crisis. God bless them all.”
