February is designated as “Catholic Press Month”. It is the time when we ask parishioners to support The Catholic Moment. Quite a few years ago Bishop Higi decided that parishes would bear the cost of sending The Catholic Moment to every household registered in a parish. At that time many parish priests, myself included, were very skeptical about the value of doing this. However, since that time I know personally of people returning to the practice of their faith at least in part because of receiving The Catholic Moment. It is an effective tool for spreading the gospel. Technically no one subscribes to The Catholic Moment. Parishes pay $20 per registered household to send parishioners The Catholic Moment. Any contribution made toward The Catholic Moment helps defray that expense. I encourage you to support this evangelization effort. Let me conclude by asking that if you are registered in a parish of our pastorate and do not receive The Catholic Moment to contact the office so we can take care of that.
