Extreme acts of violence can be traumatic for everyone and especially students. They may struggle to understand feelings of anger, sadness, fear and worry. Students may wonder why it happened and if they are safe. They will often look to adults for information and guidance on how to respond or react. We’ve collected some resources to help provide you with advice on anticipating and answering questions about scary news events, as well as information on the warning signs that may indicate a child is struggling emotionally.
If you would like to discuss your feelings with Father Eschbach, please feel free to contact the rectory at 610-857-3510 to schedule an appointment or contact him directly at vje@olcchurch.org. Helping Kids During Crisis from the American School Counselor Association

Meet Father Eschbach
“I think this is truly the most wonderful experience we can have: to belong to a people walking, journeying through history together with our Lord, who walks among us! We are not alone; we do not walk alone. We are part of the one flock of Christ that walks together.”
― Pope Francis, The Church of Mercy

Be sure to look at the many opportunities to be part of our spiritual and fellowship activities.
