The CatholiCity Message

Volume III, Number 31 – November 24, 1999

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

On behalf of all the workers and volunteers at CatholiCity, The Mary Foundation, and Saint Jude Media, may you and yours loved ones have a happy and holy Thanksgiving. You know what Thanksgiving means, so you don't need us to go on and on about being thankful. Let's all 17,000 of us pray together:

"Dear Father in Heaven, thank you for all the blessings you've bestowed upon us in 1999. For the warm homes, the food, our health–all the material gifts you give us. Thank you for our parents, our spouses, our children, our brothers and sisters, our friends: the relationships that make life worth living. Thank you for the saints, our angels, and your Son's Mother, who constantly help us and guides, often despite ourselves. Thank you for the Church, this magnificent Pope, our parishes, and for the honor of being able to receive Christ's Body in Communion, and your healing absolution in Confession. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Amen."

JOKE OF THE WEEK
(Made a few days ago by an 8-year-old boy)
Q: At the movie theater, what do you see when you look up?
A: Movie stars!

(We think the kid's got a future in making up jokes for Popsicle sticks...)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Gratitude is not only the greatest virtue, but also the parent of all others."
Cicero

Finally, thank you for helping to save the City this past September with your prayers and generosity. Thank you, CatholiCity Citizens, for being a part of our work.

With Warmest Affection from All of Us Here,

Your Friends at CatholiCity
