World AIDS Day coming up, December 1



Do something in your family or parish or community about AIDS/HIV.

What can you do?

Check with your local diocesan office and see if you can tap into any diocesan-wide activity.

Have a prayer intention for those living with HIV/AIDS during the prayer of the faithful.

Encourage your priest or pastor to say something, even if very brief.

See if you can get it mentioned in your Church Bulletin.

Pray with your family for those living with the virus and for the healing of AIDS.

Help/assist someone with AIDS in your community.

Take up a family or community collection to donate to an organization that deals with HIV/AIDS. (There are many good Catholic agencies).

Any, some or all of these, would be a positive step.
