Looking for new ideas or resources to engage your faith or your ministry? Here are our weekly curated links, including offerings in each of the following categories: Prayer for the Home, Educational Opportunities, Resources (for ministers, educators, parents, etc.), and Flourishing and Fun. 

Prayer for the Home: 

Catholics on Call Young Adult Retreat
This free, self-directed online retreat offered to young Catholics (ages 18–40) by Catholic Theological Union begins today, runs through July 24, and offers an opportunity to consider how God might be calling you to serve him in serving the needs of the world.

Educational Opportunities: 

Racism in Our Streets and Structures
Watch this webinar featuring four African-American leaders within the Catholic Church—Archbishop Wilton Gregory, Dr. Marcia Chatelain, Ralph McCloud, and Gloria Purvis—as they discuss the responsibility of all Catholics to respond to racism and uphold the dignity of each and every person.

Resources:

App-Smashing Tech Tools
Educator Steph Sukow offers a glimpse at several helpful apps in approaching the task of online learning. Perfect for the teacher gearing up for a semester where remote learning is still a possibility.

Flourishing:

What is flourishing, anyway?
Learn about the concept of human flourishing from a psychological perspective as a process and not a personality trait, and discover ways to practice flourishing in your own life.

And just for fun:
