Mary Beth is well known  – nationally! – in Catholic singles circles.  She is a regular contributor to the Catholic Match site and blog.  She also speaks on teen purity.  Click on her name above to see her site. You won’t want to miss this event if there’s any chance at all that you can make it.

This is the Catholic church reaching out to singles (never married, widowed, divorced, annulled…).  This is for US!

This is very cool and very important.  You see, CatholicMatch.com is sponsoring a “contest.”  The cause that receives the biggest response via the link above, Facebook AND Twitter will receive a donation.  If DivorcedCatholic.org wins, the contribution will be used to help divorced Catholics who would like to attend the Journey of Hope conference but who can’t afford the cost.  This person might be you!

So, please, click on the link above and leave a comment after Lisa’s article.  Then retweet about it and  post about it on facebook.  They make it very easy by providing buttons to click at the top of the article!

As you know, this is a great cause. A great many of the comments I receive on this site are complaints that there isn’t any help “out there” for divorced Catholics.  Well HERE IS HELP…but it needs YOUR help, too!

Please get involved.  This is really so simple.

May God bless and bring you peace.

P.S.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Make this year better than the last.  You CAN do it.

We are pleased to announce the Journey of Hope Radio show on BlogTalkRadio.Com beginning Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 at 9:00AM EST!

There is a great need for an ongoing discussion regarding the challenges divorced Catholic men and women face, and through this program we hope to engage our distinguished guests and listeners in an informative and supportive conversation. Our goal is to provide you with accurate information and support as you deal with the process and aftermath of divorce.

Our first guest will be Fr. Thomas Williams, LC, back by popular demand from his appearance as Keynote Speaker at the Journey of Hope 2010 Conference last February. Fr. Thomas, Vince, and I will be eager to take your calls! The call-in number for the show is 1(347)989-1231.

Perhaps the best part about the show is that it is recorded, so if you are unable to listen live you can always visit our show page at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/journeyofhoperadio and listen to the recorded podcast!

We ask for your prayers for the success of the program and look forward to taking your calls on June 30th at 9:00am EST!

Sincerely,
Lisa Duffy, DivorcedCatholic.Org

Be sure to put this on your calendar and listen. It’s going to be good!  Actually, go to the blog talk radio link and you can have them send you a reminder in any of four different ways! Too cool.  Also, remember that if you can’t listen live, you can access the recording afterwards.

May God bless and bring you peace,
Manya
