The CatholiCity Message

Volume IX, Number 11 – December 6 2005

Dear CatholiCity Citizen,

Let's give Jesus the gift of souls this Christmas.

We need $100,000 to keep CatholiCity online in 2006. If you take just a few moments to help us, countless souls will find Jesus next year through CatholiCity.

Will you send us a Christmas Gift?

POPE BENEDICT LAPEL PIN WITH $25 GIFT
With your gift of $25 or more we'll send you a premium quality Pope Benedict lapel pin created exclusively for CatholiCity. It's quite lovely and can be worn every day. View this beautiful pin when you make your gift.

PURE SILVER MIRACULOUS MEDAL WITH $100 GIFT
With your gift of $100 or more we'll send you a stunning "triple-weight" 100% sterling silver, hand-coined Miraculous Medal (in addition to the Pope Benedict lapel pin).

Each individual medal is unique because it's coined and burnished by hand. It's made right here in Ohio, so it has "U.S.A." (not "Italy") below the two hearts.

(Each lapel pin and every medal has been blessed at the Cathedral of Saint John in Cleveland, Ohio.)

CatholiCity has been there for you every day in 2005. Please, help us stay online in 2006.

ON YOUR DOORSTEP BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Finally, there's still time to order free Mary Foundation CDs and Saint Jude Media novels in time for Christmas Gifts if you order online now.

We'll ship these powerful Catholic stocking stuffers within hours of receiving your order. On a tight budget? Why not give your friends and relatives a rip-roaring Catholic novel or America's #1 Rosary CD along with that necktie or scarf?

Many, many practicing Catholics have taken the first step to conversion after receiving our free books and CDs as gifts from CatholiCity Citizens.

Someone in your life needs you to click on the links below:

We'll be back with an update on the 2005 Christmas Appeal and our "regular" CatholiCity Message next week. Thanks for being a part of our work. You're the best. We'll leave you with a Joke, a Quote, and a Prayer.

BOOMERANG-O-MANIA
Q: What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back?
A: A stick.

Q: What did Mrs. Boomerang say to Mr. Boomerang as he walked out the door, his bags packed, after a big argument?
A: "You'll come back! You always do!"

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"His power is made perfect in our weakness."
Saint Paul, 2 Corinthians 12:9

Join us and 60,000 others receiving this message in praying with an open heart to our Savior:

"Jesus, I love you. Come into my heart right now. Let me bring others to you by my example of kindness, quietness, and generosity. Help me love your mom better. Introduce me to Saint Joseph this year. These, and the thousand other good things which I need but do not understand because sin has blinded me, I ask for now. I ask for it all. I know you want to answer my prayer and also answer it quickly, for me, and for everyone I know. I ask without big words because I am a child at heart; you were a child, too. You know I'm trying, poorly or well, to be your friend. Please, help me. Amen."

Humbly, Hopefully, Happily,

Your Friends at CatholiCity
