Dear friends of the Catholic Doors Ministry,
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
May the peace and joy of the Lord Jesus shine in the lives of each and everyone of you during the coming month as you prepare yourselves during Advent for the Birth of the Lord Jesus on Christmas Day.
As some of you may have noticed, during the October Newsletter, there was no mention of the beginning of our Annual Fund-Raising Project during November, 2002 to raise funds for the upcoming Fiscal Year. Why? Because, thanks to the Divine Providence, during the past year, sufficient funds have been raised to manage the Catholic Doors Ministry for at least another year. With the ongoing incoming flow of contributions from our supporters who have been guided by the Holy Spirit to support our ministry, over and above regular revenues from our Bible Courses, the Orders for CD-Disks of all or part of the website, we have enjoyed a steady flow of income. It is believed that our present financial status should be sufficient to secure another year. If not, we trust that the Holy Spirit will provide for our additional needs.
With the approach of Christmas, some of you may decide to purchase books or other items from Amazon.com. If you are doing so, please consider making your purchase through our website so our ministry can receive a commission from the purchase of your Orders. To do so, please go to the following webpage: http://www.catholicdoors.com/promo/shopping.htm
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas. You are all remembered during my daily celebration of the Holy Mass, at which time I ask the Lord Jesus to abundantly shine His loving grace on each and everyone of you so you may continue to be enriched in the Sacramental life that can only be obtained through the Holy Catholic Church.
In the love of Jesus and Mary,
Fr. Maurice Levesque
