Messages: To keep people up-to-date
on the mission and work of the Guild as we gather information to further Mattie’s Cause of Canonization, the Directors will be sharing regular “Messages from the Guild.” Some of these messages will be reflections or information on timely topics, including spiritual activities, events, prayers, and other relevant news relevant.

Other messages will explore a particular poem, passage, or prayer offered by Mattie. We also invite and encourage global neighbors to ask questions, to suggest topics for the Guild to explore and to share personal reflections on Mattie’s life and message and Cause of Canonization. We will also occasionally repost or share updates and links to older news
and information, such as past interviews, videos, and other events.

Activities: To support global neighbors
in exploring, embracing, and expanding on “Heartsongs” and the messages Mattie shared, we will be offering “Seasonal Theme” suggestions. The themes will be relevant to seasonal, holiday, or newsworthy items and events. Each theme will be rooted in a poem, passage, and/or prayer shaped by Mattie. Through the year, “Reflect, Respond, and Reach Out” conversation and activities tips will be provided in sections specifically created for children, families, educators, parishioners, community leaders, and other global neighbors.
