United as Catholics and with other Christians around the world, we begin our second "Catholic Schools Weekend of Prayer" in St. Peter's Square at 1p.m. ET tomorrow, Friday, March 27. We will all listen as our Holy Father, Pope Francis gives a special blessing, "Urbi et Orbi" (To the City & To the World). I encourage you with your children to receive this extraordinary blessing, normally only given on Easter & Christmas mornings, which gains for us all a plenary indulgence.

To keep children connected and able to participate in remote learning, the DOE is lending 300,000 internet-enabled iPads to students. Priority will be given to children most in need. All devices are granted on a temporary basis and will later need to be returned. There is a limit of one device per child. Families that wish to request a device should fill out this Remote Learning Device Request form. Additionally, your families may be eligible to receive a free at-home wi-fi service to support their child’s remote learning. Comcast is now offering free internet service for low-income families for 60 days for new qualifying customers. Families can visit https://www.internetessentials.com/ for more information. For your families with older children, households with K-12 students can get free Spectrum Wifi for 60 days (including free installation for new customers). Call 1-844-488-8395 for set up. Finally, starting today, any child under 18 can receive free meals at one of 435 meal distribution sites across the City. To find a site, families should call 311 or text 'FOOD' or 'COMIDA' to 877-877.
