Dear friends of the Lord Jesus,
Yes indeed, you are friends of the Lord Jesus because you do what He has commanded. [Jn. 15:14] He does not call you servants because the servant does not know what the master is doing. He calls you friends because He has made known to you everything that He has heard from His Father. [Jn. 15:15-6]
Welcome to the 9th issue of the Catholic Doors Ministry monthly newsletter. Below, you will find a list of all the new January, 2001 additions to the website.
As most of you may have noticed, the New Year began with a face lift of the main page at http://www.catholicdoors.com . By clicking on the door, you are taken to what was last year's main page. If you are seeking a click access to a specific area such as the prayers or the homilies, you can click on the word below the door on the main page and you will be taken directly to that section of the website. As such, the redoing of the main page serves the purpose of promptly moving to a specific area of the website by bypassing unnecessary pages.
During the month, the Catholic Doors Ministry enjoyed an average of 689 visitors per day. If this rate continued during the next couple days, we should have 21,365 visitors during the month.
Towards the end of February, we will celebrate Ash Wednesday and then enter into the Lent Season. I pray that during the coming weeks, all shall take some time to study the meaning of Lent. As such, those who are learned in this area will hopefully enjoy the fullness of the grace of God that will be bestowed upon those who will have taken full advantage of this time of the liturgical year.
May the grace of God shine abundantly on all of you as you continue your spiritual journey of sanctification by the power of the Holy Spirit in the Most Holy Name of Jesus for the glory of our Heavenly Father.
Yours in the love of Jesus and Mary,
Father Maurice Levesque

2000-2001 Annual Fund-Raising Campaign
@ http://www.catholicdoors.com/funds.htm
Since the Annual Fund-Raising Campaign began in mid-November, 2000, approximately $ 700.00 has been raised. This is 46.2% of the funds needed to operate the Catholic Doors Ministry during 2001. In early January, the amount of funds raised appeared higher until a bogus cheque in the amount of $ 142.00 was returned NSF. Please keep the ministry in your daily prayers, asking the Lord God through the intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to provide our financial needs. If the Holy Spirit is moving your heart to mail us a contribution of any size, please forward your donation to:
