The first week of October, this year October 5-11, is Mental Health Awareness Week with a special designation of October 10th as World Mental Health Day.
In recognition of the impact that mental health challenges can have on individuals, their families and caregivers, Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V., will celebrate two special Masses:
These Masses will be offered for those who have lost a loved one to suicide, drug and alcohol use, or mental illness, and for those who are currently experiencing mental health or substance use challenges. All are welcome to either Mass!
A Book of Remembrance will be offered during the Mass for those who have died by suicide or from mental health or substance-use related issues. If you would like to submit a name or names of loved ones to be included in the Book of Remembrance, please email FR-Reception@ccfrdioc.org, with the subject line: Name for Remembrance Book. You may also call Catholic Charities Diocese of Fall River at 508-674-4681 ext. 1101.
