Hi, Flip —

That's very kind of you. We are a 100% Lay-driven apostolate of the Church under Canons 215 and 225 § 1 and § 2. All our work (answering questions) is a volunteer effort, although I do send out occasional gift certificates to the team for their great work.

What would be very helpful is if you wish to contribute to my

FREE Catechism of the Catholic Church for Protestants program

This program is increasing year after year. For every $200. I can buy another box of Catechisms.

The other big expenditure for this apostolate is cost of postage. For every $100. I can buy a block of 20 stamps that would cover most my postage costs for 10 Catechisms.

Due to the passing of my mother, Dorothy Humphrey, on January 31, 2011. I have been forced to run this and my other apostolates, sporadically, and on a donation basis. I've been unemployed for a long period of time and the Lord has not provided me with any work where I can support myself or my apostolates. Because of this, I also have to save up to pay for the required postage to ship each Catechism before starting the program up again.

That said, for every box of Catechisms I buy, I need around $150.00 to ship them all and put in the extra stuff I send.

You can donate two ways by going here:

Why am I doing this?

Like I say on the page, I don't think someone should have to pay to learn about a faith they know little to nothing about!

Send whatever the Holy Spirit guides you to. I always welcome the widow's mite. Over ten years ago, I received a $1.00 bill from a little old lady. On the outside she wrote in pencil:
My very humble donation.

To this day, I still have it in front of my PC.

Thanks for your support Flip!

It is appreciated.

Mike
