The Derry Catechetical Centre have worked to create resources to help people remember their beloved who have gone before them in the month of November. Mindful that the usual large parish Masses can’t be held, the diocese is trying to encourage families to pray at home and remember their dead. 

 

Please follow the link below to access the resources.

The impact of the lockdown on children and young people has not just been academic but also emotional. A lot of parents are extremely concerned about the anxiety that their children are exhibiting during this time. As a result, GSAP commissioned Máire Dunne and Resilio to create online videos to assist parents, on their children’s return to school.

There are 4 short videos and they will help parents with strategies and techniques, that will help their children cope.

Topics for each Week:

1. Where the Story Began
2. Understanding our Emotions
3. Adapting to the New Norm
4. Top Tips and Support Below is the video for Week 1
