  When crisis arise, the community comes together.

  Shortly after COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, the United State's National Guard made an announcement for volunteers to come forward and help at the emergency food banks who were in need of serving a higher number of people due to the crisis. This picture was taken at St. Mary's Food Bank.

  Their Calling Was to Lay Hands on the Sick. Then Came the Coronavirus.

  This article is about how the COVID-19 pandemic transformed the lives and ministry in total for 8 Manhattan Friars. The brothers are used to doing things in common. They pray twice a day, eat, and do everything together. With social distancing being put into effect in the NY area, all their normal routines are being challenged. What gives them faith is that the Catholic Funeral Liturgy says, “Life hasn’t ended, it has changed.”

  Phoenix Sky Harbor during COVID-19

  Today marks my 7 year anniversary with a major airline right out Phoenix Sky Harbor. Although I wish circumstances were better, there has never been a day where I've seen the airport so empty, a ghost town. Due to COVID-19 we have dropped nearly 75% in revenue. In fact, most people think of the airpot as dangerous but when I go to work I only see other co-workers walking around, which is less than the grocery stores at this point. It's sad to see all the vendors and stores closed down. We all know this will take a while until things pick back up, months even. Until then we are all washing our hands, disinfecting everything we can, avoiding touching passengers boarding passes and remaining in high spirits.
