No need to reinvent the wheel or launch another new program. Using an existing, widely distributed parish publication, you can easily and affordably provide:
a daily and weekly source of inspiration to your parishioners
a way to feed and nurture your parishioners' faith every day
a solid support for all your parish programs
a reliable source of engaging information about the Catholic faith
a publication people turn to for daily spiritual sustenance
an economical, efficient extension of your role as teacher and guide
a reinforcement of the benefits of Sunday worship and daily prayer
a way to reach people on the margins of your faith community
All this, with just a few clicks of your keyboard.
Why TAKE FIVE FOR FAITH is worth it.
You can reach each member of your parish with a message for each weekday, for less than 80 cents a day. If you were to purchase handouts each week, or even once a month, for all your parishioners, it would likely cost you ten times that amount. Meanwhile, you've increased the value and readership of, and interest in, your number-one parish communications tool--your Sunday bulletin.
