Archbishop Naumann interviews Deacon Tim Donohue, CRS Diocesan Director for Archdiocese of Boston and a CRS Global Fellow.

They dialogue about how  often when we listen to news of all the conflicts and disasters in the world, it can be overwhelming and we can feel quite powerless.  But as Catholics, we are not powerless to help, especially during Lent all our parishes have passed out these little cardboard Rice Bowls that have the power to save lives.  If there is a disaster or a war, you can be sure the CRS staff are nearby; already implementing a well thought out well networked plan to help.

Archbishop Naumann talks to Rachel Clark, Community Sponsorship Coordinator, for the Catholic Charities' Refugee Resettlement program.

Since around 1975 when the Archdiocese started helping resettle refugees from the Vietnam conflict Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas has developed into one of the largest resettlement sites in Kansas, with most refugees coming from Southeast Asia's Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Their Refugee Resettlement Services offer programs and services designed to provide social and emotional support to refugees including English language classes, citizenship preparation, case management, employment support and more.  They have many great ways for people to live out their discipleship of Jesus through the works of mercy by volunteering.

Each Lent, the Archbishop runs commercials to encourage Catholics to experience the healing power of the sacrament of reconciliation.  So in addition to their normal schedules, our priests make confessions available Wednesday nights from 6-7 pm at the churches of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas.  

These are the 30 second spots  in English that will run this year on local radio stations and streaming services.

We have also recorded one in Spanish that will air on Spanish speaking stations.
