The Angelus – for the simple, the faraway, and me
The Angelus by Katherine Bogner
(Look to Him and Be Radiant on Etsy)
I don’t remember how I first heard of the Angelus.
I do remember that praying it was an act of desperation.
Things were always worst just around noon. Alone at home with twin infants in highchairs both sobbing to be held, I staggered around the kitchen trying to prepare lunch, my three-year-old clinging to my ankles and crying that he was too hungry to eat. With every passing second, the window of time to feed everyone and get them into their beds for their naps was narrowing. Failing to get the three children napping before this critical window of time elapsed meant I would have no quiet moment to myself, no chance to collect my strength to make it through the rest of the day and evening until bedtime.
Maybe this sounds overly dramatic, but this was every day, and it felt dire.

National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
Did you know?
U.S. House of Representatives announced July as
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
Despite measurable advances in health equity, disparities in mental health care persist especially in diverse and/or marginalized communities. When trying to access mental health services, diverse communities have to contend with language barriers; decreased access to care; lower chance of health care coverage; bias and discrimination in treatment settings, in addition to the usual road blocks in an already fragmented health care system.
Many cultures also view mental health treatment as a luxury, considering symptoms a “phase” that will eventually pass. These harmful perceptions of mental illness can further isolate individuals who desperately need help.
Limited access to mental health services and failure to provide culturally competent treatment contribute to poor mental health outcomes including suicide, among ethnic minority populations.
Loaning of Materials COVID-19 Restriction Lifted
We are now able to loan materials and resources for our media option classes and VLCFF classes (DVDs & books).
