Advent
The season of Advent invites us to draw inward with quiet and reflective expectation while the world around us frenzies us in pursuit of 'the holidays.' Advent calls us to question how joy can be experienced in a world torn by division, war, oppression, hardship, confusion, chaos, and all of the other anxieties of daily living.
Lent and Easter
Each year, CHA develops resources for members and others to celebrate the Lent and Easter Seasons. These resources include prayer cards, audio reflections and meditations that offer meaningful ways to journey through Lent and Easter individually or together with colleagues.
World Day of the Sick
February 11 is World Day of the Sick, an observation introduced by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes and is an important opportunity for those who serve in Catholic health ministry to reflect on caring for those who are sick as well as those who provide care to them.
