Dr. Adolphe Nyakasane of Kesho Congo would like to share an international solidarity appeal they have launched to support the response to the Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

They have already mobilized teams on the ground to push community awareness activities focused on hygiene and prevention measures. However, significant needs remain to strengthen response capacity and better protect the populations they serve.

Please make checks out to All Saints Parish with a note in the memo line (“Kesho Congo” / “ebola prevention”). Our donation will be made through the Community Foundation and go DIRECTLY to Kesho Congo. Thank you all!

The need is URGENT!! This period between Memorial Day and Labor Day brings an increase in severe injuries from various summer activities. A single person injured in a serious accident can require up to 100 units of blood. Maintaining a stable blood supply is essential to saving lives. If saving lives isn’t reason enough to give, there are great June promotions: donors will receive a $15 E gift card (choice of merchant), entry to win one of two $7500 gift cards, and a voucher for a pint of Stewart’s prepackaged ice cream or gelato! Since our initial Drive, All Saints has collected 241 pints! We currently have 18 donors signed up, please consider donating. Register at:

Here is the reflection for the Most Holy Trinity Weekend!

On May 25th, our Pope Leo XIV issued the most authoritative document yet of his still-young pontificate and in it directed the Catholic Church's moral gaze toward the frantic pace of technological development that threatens human solidarity. With AI as its entry point, Leo uses his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas ("Magnificent Humanity") on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence, to articulate the church's position on a wide range of contemporary crises, including war, modern slavery, wealth inequality, the erosion of democracy and the devaluing of human capacities. There is a great deal for all of us to learn and absorb from this document.

Link to the encyclical here:
