From food pantries and emergency assistance to faith formation and outreach to the sick and elderly, these efforts are made possible through the collective commitment of so many who answer the call to give. As Jesus reminds us, \u201cBlessed are the peacemakers,\u201d and through our shared prayer, generosity, and service, we can extend Christ\u2019s love and healing presence throughout our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please consider your support of this transformative work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blue Pinwheels and the Pledge of a Safer Future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blue-Pinwheels-1024x819.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blue-Pinwheels-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blue-Pinwheels-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blue-Pinwheels-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blue-Pinwheels-1536x1229.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blue-Pinwheels-225x180.png 225w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Blue-Pinwheels.png 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As I noted in a recent blog post, April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and on Tuesday, we observed this important time in our Diocese with a Mass in St. Mary\u2019s Cathedral and an outdoor prayer service that followed on Cathedral grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my words of reflection, I shared that abuse prevention is not a single program or requirement. It is a change in culture and mentality. It is the daily commitment of each of us to notice, to speak up, to intervene, and to ensure that no form of harm is ever tolerated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Bishop of this Diocese, I affirm our collective duty to protect every child and every vulnerable adult. I express my deep gratitude to our Safe Environment team in the Diocese, to our educators, clergy, staff, volunteers, parents, and to all who dedicate themselves to protecting God\u2019s people. This vigilance is an act of love. This work is a concrete example of the Gospel Jesus left us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was pleased that some students from two of our Catholic schools took part in the observance. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ololtaunton.com\/\">Our Lady of Lourdes School<\/a> <em>Schola<\/em> from Taunton provided wonderful music. Students from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bishopstang.org\/\">Bishop Stang High School<\/a> offered the prayers of the faithful during the outdoor service and at the conclusion of each, planted a blue pinwheel by the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Blue pinwheels are now widely recognized as the national symbol of child abuse prevention, recognizing the carefree and joyful childhood that every child should experience. In my introduction, I explained that as we plant these pinwheels, we make a pledge to stand with survivors, to safeguard the protection and dignity of every person, to hold ourselves accountable, and to ensure that the future is safer than the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the Month of Mary, We Turn to Our Mother in Faith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Month-of-Mary-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Month-of-Mary-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Month-of-Mary-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Month-of-Mary-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Month-of-Mary-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Month-of-Mary-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Month-of-Mary-1-240x160.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>May is traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, a time when we turn to her as our model of faith, humility, and trust in God. Throughout this month, the faithful are invited to honor Our Lady in simple yet meaningful ways. This includes praying the Rosary, placing flowers before her image in a May crowning at a local parish, or spending quiet moments in reflection on her \u201cyes\u201d to God\u2019s will. In our homes and parishes, these practices help deepen our devotion and remind us of Mary\u2019s constant presence as a mother who intercedes for us.
