As this year marks the 5th anniversary of Pope Francis' encyclical letter Laudato Si' On Care for Our Common Home and the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the diocesan Creation Care Team has developed suggested activities to express care for God's creation.

Healthy at Home Challenge
YouthMOVE Ohio, a youth program under NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Ohio, announces a virtual “Healthy at Home Challenge” designed to help youth, young adults and families of all ages cope with the isolating effects of the “state-at-home” order. For 14 days, beginning March 30, 2020, YouthMOVE Ohio will post daily activities, jokes, riddles, and inspirational quotes for youth to participate in and share with others. The posts are intended to decrease feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation. Those that participate are encouraged to share, tweet, or post their completion of each day’s challenge. Youth and young adults who participate will be entered into a drawing for Amazon gift cards for their participation when they share or report their progress. These daily challenges will be posted on YouthMOVE Ohio and NAMI Ohio’s websites and @YouthMoveOhio on Facebook and Twitter.
