Share the blessings and moments from your life this year for which you are especially grateful

This year, the United States has often been a nation divided, struggling with the issues of race, politics and a deadly virus that has killed more than 235,000 Americans. In such a time, it can be hard to focus on the blessings in our lives. Still, there are many for most of us. And while acknowledging how challenging and even devastating this year has been, The Criterion is inviting our readers to share what they are thankful for as another Thanksgiving approaches.

We hope to publish a list of our readers’ blessings in the Nov. 20 issue of the paper leading up to Thanksgiving Day on Nov. 26 this year.

Please consider sharing a blessing, an encounter, a story, a moment of hope, joy, compassion or love from your life this year for which you are especially grateful. Whether it’s a simple reason to be thankful or a life-changing one, we’ll look forward to all the responses we receive.

Send your submissions to John Shaughnessy by e-mail at jshaughnessy@archindy.org or by mail in care of The Criterion, 1400 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN 46202. Please include your parish and a daytime phone number where you can be reached. †
