Love Thy Neighbor

During COVID-19, we all need to do our part to slow the spread of the virus. That’s why Catholic Health Services has joined the Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA) in raising awareness of the importance of wearing masks or cloth face coverings.

We invite you to #LoveThyNeighbor and unite around the simple message that wearing a mask expresses love and solidarity for one another during these challenging times.

…and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’

The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12: 30-31
