Published in our 2014 Annual Report<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

A group of adults and kids stand in a circle in the St. David Parish Hall in the Lower 9th<\/sup> Ward. They are instructed to grab the hand of someone they are not standing next to, until their arms end up criss-crossed across the center of the circle. \u201cNow, it\u2019s your job to get untangled without letting go of the\u00a0 hand you\u2019re holding!\u201d Sr. Salvatrice Murphy, Assistant Program Director of Isaiah 43 Parenting and Mentoring Program, \u00a0instructs the group. Laughter and a flurry of discussion erupt as the group attempts to untangle themselves. Eventually, they realize it\u2019s only by working cooperatively and listening to one another that they are able to unravel the circle again. The group gives each other a round of applause after getting untangled.<\/p>\n

The group is gathered for a mentoring workshop with Isaiah 43 Parenting and Mentoring Program<\/a>. These small lessons are at the heart of Isaiah 43 which strives to engage our youth and provide support for parents to foster future peace makers of our time. Each month, volunteer mentors and mentees come together for an evening of fun and fellowship in addition to one-on-one activities and outings between mentor and mentee pairs.\u00a0 Among this group are mentor Monica Alicino and her mentee partner, Jyra Phillips, 14. Monica and Jyra have been paired together for a year through Isaiah 43.<\/p>\n

There is a need for a program like this in New Orleans and the Catholic Church wants to be involved in stemming the violence in any way possible,\u201d Monica said. \u201cBy having kids be more involved in something other than street life makes a big difference.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMy favorite thing about working with Monica is the one-on-one activities,\u201d said Jyra, who is one of ten brothers and sisters. Moni\"\"<\/a>ca, who came from a family of 11 brothers and sisters, can relate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great this program allows us to give attention to one instead of always something in a group,\u201d said Monica. \u201cI have a lot of favorite things about working with Jyra,\u201d Monica said, \u201cI always try to find something we can learn on our various outings.\u201d Some of their favorite outings have included a visit to view the art exhibits at the New Orleans Healing Center and going to the movies.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 43 programming is now in about a dozen parishes throughout the Archdiocese of New Orleans. In addition to mentoring, Isaiah 43 also hosts parenting workshops where parents and caregivers of young children can improve their communication skills, learn non-violent discipline techniques and also just find support in one another. In providing these resources and support for both parents and our youth, this program strives to counteract the culture of crime and violence in our city. Since it was launched in 2011, the participation in this program has doubled. Isaiah 43 continues to expand to other parishes and neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
