During the month of May, we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary with special devotions. Last week as we celebrated the end of our faith formation program year, the children (grades 2-5) created beautiful paper flowers in honor of our Blessed Mother. The children participated in a ceremony similar to a "May Crowning" in which they processed down the aisle and placed their flowers by the feet of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was a very special ceremony the children and families got to take part in. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us! Durante el mes de mayo, honramos a la Santísima Virgen María con devociones especiales. La semana pasada, cuando celebramos el año de nuestro programa de formación en la fe, los niños (grados 2-5) crearon hermosas flores de papel en honor a nuestra Santísima Madre. Los niños participaron en una ceremonia similar a una "Coronación de Mayo" en la que procesaron por el pasillo y colocaron sus flores a los pies de la imagen de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Fue una ceremonia muy especial en la que los niños y las familias participaron. ¡Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, ruega por nosotros!

SCRIP Center Closing June 30th
After 20 years of fundraising for local non-profit organizations, the Tigard Scrip Gift Card Center will be closing in June. St. Juan Diego’s scrip program started in 2012 has raised $163,000 used to offset building costs and purchase the piano. Thank you for your amazing support! Coincidentally we were already exploring adding an online Scrip Gift Card program that would allow point of sale purchases using a phone app. This will add convenience as well as not requiring so much volunteer time. So, stay tuned for updates on how you can continue to support St. Juan Diego at no out of pocket cost to you. There is still time to raise money for Phase ll with Scrip orders and purchases. Graduations and Father’s Day are coming as well as everyday needs for groceries, household goods, garden and home improvement projects. The last order date is June 8th, so you have a few more weekends to order Scrip. We will continue to offer inventory until it is depleted. If you have questions, contact [email protected].

"Assisted suicide laws typically appear to limit eligibility to terminally ill patients who are expected to die within six months but don't distinguish be-tween persons who will die within six months with treatment and those who will die within six months without treatment. This means that patients with treatable diseases (like diabetes or chronic respiratory or cardiac disease) and patients with disabilities requiring ventilator support are all eligible for lethal drugs because they would die within six months without the treatment they would normally receive."

June 2nd: Human Trafficking Silent Prayer Vigil - St. Andre Bessette Catholic Church, 601 West Burnside Street, Portland, from 11:15-11:45 AM. Please join together to pray for victims and an end to human trafficking.

We sent 45 backpacks home weekly to provide school children with food for the weekend. Seventeen volunteers donated 176 hours of their time to make the pantry available to people in need. New volunteers are always appreciated. Thank you to our parishioners for your generous support of this program.
Mental Health Awareness Month 1-800-950-6264 or nami.org (for services and support) (week 3) “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me: for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 In this final week of Mental Health Awareness, we are sharing ideas of communication and treatment services for persons experiencing a mental health episode or someone with a mental illness. We know that 1 in 5 Americans live with a mental health condition; therefore, it is likely that we will have an encounter with a friend, family member, or a stranger on the street that is struggling with mental health or mental illness. Some General Guidelines for Communicating with a person who is experiencing a Mental Illness or a Mental Health episode:
o Be respectful to the person. When someone feels respected and heard, they are more likely to return respect and consider what you have to say. If they are experiencing events like hallucinations, be aware that the hallucinations or the delusions they experience are their reality. You will not be able to talk them out of their reality.
o Observe the situation, LISTEN first, greet, and ask, “How are you?” (respect their space). Listen to the person and try to understand what he/she is communicating
o Some people, who are experiencing a mental health episode may be frightened, so be aware that they may need more body space than you. Speak in a relaxed and calm manner, stick to one topic, and give pause time to allow time for the person to process what you may be saying.
o Do not assume that they are not smart and will believe anything you tell them. Mental illness has nothing to do with the person's intelligence level. Do not lie to them, as it will usually break any rapport you might want to establish.
o If needed, set limits with the person as you would others. For example, "I only have five minutes to talk to you" or “If you yell at me, I will not be able to understand what you are saying.”
o Keep a current list of community resources, like shelters, food programs, and mental health services that you can suggest to them (if they need it). Some people will not accept the suggestion, but some will.
o Call for help (police, others close by) if you feel physically threatened or need help de-escalating the person.
o Additional suggestions can be found at: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/threat-management/201010/communicating-people-mental-illness-the-publics-guide

Mes de Concientización Sobre la Salud Mental 1-800-950-6264 o nami.org (para servicios y apoyo) (semana 3) “Vengan a mí, todos ustedes que están cansados y que llevan cargas pesadas y les daré descanso. Toma mi yugo sobre ti y aprende de mí, porque soy amable y humilde de corazón, y encontrarás descanso para tu alma. Porque mi yugo es fácil, y ligera mi carga ”. Mateo 11: 28-30 En esta última semana de Concientización sobre la salud mental, compartimos ideas de servicios de comunicación y tratamiento para las personas que sufren un episodio de salud mental o una persona con una enfermedad mental. Sabemos que 1 de cada 5 estadounidenses vive con una condición de salud mental; por lo tanto, es probable que tengamos un encuentro con un amigo, miembro de la familia o un extraño en la calle que tenga problemas de salud mental o enfermedad mental. Algunas Guías Generales para Comunicarse con una Persona que Experimenta una Enfermedad Mental o un Episodio de Salud Mental:
o Ser respetuoso con la persona. Cuando alguien se siente respetado y escuchado, es más probable que devuelva respeto y considere lo que tiene que decir. Si están experimentando eventos como alucinaciones, tenga en cuenta que las alucinaciones o los engaños que experimentan son su realidad. No podrá hablarles de su realidad.
o Observe la situación, ESCUCHE primero, salude y pregunte: "¿Cómo esta?" (respete su espacio). Escuche a la persona e intente entender lo que está comunicando.
o Algunas personas que están experimentando un episodio de salud mental pueden estar asustadas, así que tenga en cuenta que pueden necesitar más espacio corporal que usted. Hable de manera relajada y tranquila, apéguese a un tema y déle un tiempo de pausa para que la persona pueda procesar lo que está diciendo.
o No asuma que no son inteligentes y creerán cualquier cosa que les diga. La enfermedad mental no tiene nada que ver con el nivel de inteligencia de la persona. No les mienta, ya que por lo general romperá cualquier relación que quiere establecer.
o Si es necesario, establezca límites con la persona como lo haría con los demás. Por ejemplo, "Solo tengo cinco minutos para hablar contigo" "Si me gritas, no podré entender lo que estás diciendo".
o Mantenga una lista actualizada de los recursos de la comunidad, como refugios, programas de alimentos y servicios de salud mental que pueda sugerirles (si lo necesitan). Algunas personas no aceptarán las sugerencias, pero otras sí lo harán.
o Pida ayuda (policía, otras personas cercanas) si se siente físicamente amenazado o necesita ayuda para calmar a la persona.
