Glad to be a part of this event bringing together #1u + #CatholicTwitter: A Mass on Workers' Memorial Day. catholiclabor.org/2020/04/cln-to… Hope some of y'all are able to join in!

Tomorrow afternoon for Workers’ Memorial Day, the #Catholic Labor Network is hosting a Mass. Thanks to @WashArchbishop for inviting folks to join! facebook.com/22690980069606… Would love to see some of y’all when I log in. #1u

Today is #WorkersMemorialDay, this afternoon join #Catholic #1u folk across the country for a Mass being celebrated by Fr. Sinclair Oubre of Beaumont, TX who ministers to @SeafarersUnion + homilist Fr. Clete Kiley of @unitehere & @archchicago. facebook.com/22690980069606…

Moving to join with ~100 Catholics & unionists for #WorkersMemorialDay, including @BpStowe & Bishop Hanchon. Powerful Gospel + call from Fr. Clete on fighting for the solidarity that is foundational to the Church & labor movement. Glad the Catholic Labor Network offered it. 🙏🏾✊🏾

I was so worried about getting everything in order for the #WorkersMemorialDay Mass that I forgot to include my own union, @AFSCME's, COVID-related deaths in the power point. Ooof. You can see the names here: afscme.org/covid-19/in-me…

In case you missed yesterday's Workers' Memorial Day Mass, @CatholicNewsSvc has a write up on Fr. Clete's great homily + the Catholic Labor Network's origins: catholicnews.com/services/engli… So proud to have been a part of putting this together. #1u #Catholic

Happy May Day + feast of St. Joseph the Worker! The #Catholic Labor is hosting a virtual happy hour later today to celebrate: catholiclabor.org/2020/04/cln-li… And if you missed the Workers’ Memorial Day Mass earlier this week, highlights here: #1u

If you join in today’s CLN HH, you’ll probably glimpse our “alter” in the background, which includes a fave side by side from our wedding: A Black depiction of St. Joseph the Worker & La Virgen de la Luz, patroness of the pueblito Husband’s fam is from. https://t.co/sRr0QuCNg4

St. Joseph the Worker was once out of work, too: catholicnewsagency.com/news/st-joseph… Two Catholic Labor Network folks quoted in this piece.

I missed at the end of last week that the CST spotlighted the death of an @afscme31 member who worked at one of the state developmental centers: chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2020/… 3 Ludeman staff have passed, 3 residents. So sad.
