April is the designated month of support, remembrance, and healing for all children and survivors of abuse, as well as families who have experienced abuse and neglect. Though we recognize Child Abuse Prevention in April, our commitment to providing a safe environment for all is year round. This year, we are encouraging all to wear blue on April 27 (Blue Sunday). Blue Sunday is a day where places of worship across the nation are asked to join in a day of prayer and support for healing families affected by abuse as well as to renew their pledge to prevent future abuse from happening. To maintain a safe environment, the Diocese of Reno requires all volunteers, employees, and clergy to be current on their training and their electronic background checks. Working together, we can help prevent abuse in our churches and pray for healing in our communities. During National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we pray for continued healing for the lives of all who are affected or indirectly affected by abuse. More Information and Questions If you have any questions, please contact Tracey Collamer, Diocesan Director for Safe Environment at [email protected] or call (775) 326-9445 “It is essential that we, as a Church, be able to acknowledge and condemn, with sorrow and shame, the atrocities perpetrated by consecrated persons, clerics, and all those entrusted with the mission of watching over and caring for those most vulnerable.”

Will take place at St. Joseph's Church, Elko, on Saturday, March 22nd at 11am. All welcome. Legion Founder Frank Duff wrote in the Legion Handbook: "The Acies is the great central annual function of the Legion, so that it is necessary to stress the importance of attendance on the part of every member. The essential ideal of the Legion, upon which all else is built, is that of working in union with and in dependence on Mary, its Queen. The Acies is the solemn expression of that union and dependence, the renewal - individual and collective - of the legionary declaration of fealty. Hence it is manifest that any legionaries who can attend, and yet fail to do so, have little or none of the spirit of the Legion in them. The membership of such persons is not an asset to the Legion." ACIES* is a Latin word that the Roman Legion applied to an army ranged in battle array; appropriate to a ceremony in which the legionaries as a body assemble to renew their fealty to Mary, Queen of the Legion, and from her to receive strength and blessing for yet another year's battle with the forces of evil. We also recall the army allegory in our weekly meetings in prayer; "Who is she that comes forth as the morning rising, terrible as an army set in battle array?"
