Be sure to talk to your kids about cyber bullying. Four

out of ten kids have been bullied online and five out of

ten have said mean things about others online. Cyber

bullying continues to grow and the ultimate tragic result

can be suicide. Most kids who suffer or experience

cyberbullying do not tell their parents as they are afraid

they will lose their online privileges. To see what the

Diocese of Erie is doing to help create safe environ-

ments, check out :

A Family Perspective In today’s gospel a servant

WAITED for the master to return. Waiting is a normal

part of family life. We wait for a child’s birth, then for

small legs to catch up. Later we wait for teenagers to

return home safely. Finally we wait alone anticipating a

call or visit from an adult child. Waiting is sacred time,

for even in the waiting we are connected.
