Dear friends in Jesus,

This month, my introduction shall be a little different. I will be covering three topics that will interest most of you.

1. First of all, I would like to mention that the "Freebies" webpage now has links to more great programs that are free. There you will find the "Sypbot" program to clean up your computer of unwanted prying eyes that have placed files on your computer without your authorization. You will find the "Sygate Personal Firewall" program to protect your information in the future, stopping any information from entering or leaving your computer without your authorization. You will also find the free "AVG Antivirus" program, the "Eudora Light" Mail Manager Program, the "IrfanView" graphic program, the "Pop-Up Stopper" to permit you to enjoy your visits on the internet and the "Webshot" Screen Saver. Spybot and Sygate Personal Firewall are a must for every computer.

2. From 1998 to 2001, the Catholic Doors Ministry held a fund-raising project during the Fall to secure its financial needs during the coming year. During 2002, because of the ongoing support of our ministry and regular incoming contributions from our visitors, the Fund-Raising Campaign was cancelled. I am pleased to announce that for the 2 nd year in a row, the Catholic Doors Ministry will not be holding a Fund-Raising Campaign during 2003. Why? because we trust that the Lord shall continue to provide our monetary needs during the coming year as He has done in the past.

3. I am happy to announce that the Catholic Doors Ministry now has nearly 40 merchants who are committed to donating a commission to our ministry for every sale originating from the links on our Online Shopping webpage. Through these many online merchants, you can purchase any of the following: Baby Clothing, Books, Computer Ink, Flowers, Fragrances, Gift Baskets, Magazines, Men's Clothing, Office Supplies, Pet Supplies, Phone Calls, Phone Cards, Posters, Religious Gifts, Religious Jewelry, Religious Music, Telecom Resources, Text Books, Travelling Plans, Vitamins and Women's Clothing.

I invite you all to visit some or all of these online stores where you will find religious books at better prices than Amazon.com, religious objects as gifts for one's prayer life, Baptism, First Communion, Marriage, the Holy Orders, etc... These links give you access to over 50,000 items that can be purchased online. Thank you for your purchase(s) through these stores. Through such ongoing income, our international ministry can become self-sufficient in its financial needs.
