The CatholiCity Message

Volume V, Number 7 – April 6, 2001

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

We've been swamped with many thousands of orders for our new "The Mass Explained" talk. That's a good thing–being swamped for orders. Thanks. We've got several short and sweet items for you, plus a new joke...

1. TELL THE WORLD
We've just put a new interactive page on our Mary Foundation website that enables you to submit comments on our recordings which are then posted for others to read. Your recommendations are a powerful tool for convincing skeptical surfers to give our free materials a chance. If your life or the lives of your friends and relatives have been changed by one of our recordings, would you do us the kindness of posting your comments on this new page? Thanks. You're the best. Go here:

2. MAKING JEFF LOOK THIN
Jeff Cavins has graciously invited Bud Macfarlane Jr., author of three novels from our publishings division, Saint Jude Media, to be a guest on his popular "Life on the Rock" TV show on EWTN on April 26th, so mark your calendars. It's a live show, and if you ever wanted to see what Mr. Macfarlane appears like in a terrified state, here's your chance. We're counting on CatholiCity Citizens to dominate the call-in part of the show.

3. ONE IN A MILLION
Thank you. If you're reading this, it's very likely that you were one of the first one million people to visit the CatholiCity homepage. One million. That's a nice big number. And we're just getting started.
