During this time where many of us around the United States and the world are being asked to quarantine or keep isolated, the Catholic Apostolate Center has compiled this special resource page to accompany you through this time.
While we find ourselves in situations that are outside the norm, situations that may be difficult or stressful, turning to prayer can often be a welcome respite. Please send us your prayer intentions below so we can remember them at daily Mass in the St. Vincent Pallotti Chapel at the Catholic Apostolate Center.
