CHARLOTTE — St. Gabriel Church has started a podcast aimed at improving mental health during these trying times.
The podcast, “Helping You Cope: Anxiety in Times of Uncertainty,” features conversations with Christine Simpson, a parishioner and therapist in private practice, and Father Mike Mitchell, parochial vicar, facilitated by Darby McClatchy, the parish’s communications director.
The parish’s Mental Health and Wellness Ministry is offering the podcast series on anxiety. The episodes, each 15 minutes long, explore how anxiety manifests itself. They also offer ways to cope with stress and discuss how our faith can help relieve anxiety.
The first two episodes of the podcast are available at www.stgabrielchurch.org/podcast-anxiety. Additional posts are scheduled for Feb. 16 and 23.

HUNTERSVILLE — The recently formed Return To God local apostolate of prayer, based out of St. Mark Parish, held its fourth public prayer event Jan. 16 at Veterans Park.
More than 50 people turned out for this event on a cold and blustery January afternoon.
The group now has a website that is being incrementally built to include resources such as prayers, interviews, articles, prayer event updates and much more.
Consider prayerful and financial support to help this apostolate expand its outreach in calling people back to God: go online to www.returntogodnow.com to learn more.
