1 THERE ARE SOLUTIONS TO THESE ONGOING CHALLENGES 23% of U.S. adult Catholics report that they attend Mass every week. 8% of fallen-away Catholics left the Church before age % of Catholics account for over 80% of volunteer and financial support. 30% of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. PARISHES MUST FIND NEW WAYS TO EVANGELIZE AND CATECHIZE THEIR PARISHIONERS. EFFECTIVE TOOLS TO HELP CATHOLICS KNOW AND LOVE THEIR FAITH Through God s grace, Lighthouse has worked with over 7,000 parishes and has distributed over 12,000,000 CDs, books, booklets, pamphlets, and more. 303 E. State St., Sycamore IL LighthouseCatholicMedia.org

2 PROVEN AND EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS The CDs and brochures are a welcome addition to the faith life and continuing education of our people. I heartily recommend your program to all the pastors in the Archdiocese as a way to rekindle the faith of Chicago s Catholics and help fulfill St. John Paul II s call for a New Evangelization. FRANCIS CARDINAL GEORGE, O.M.I. ARCHBISHOP EMERITUS OF CHICAGO, IL INCREASE MASS ATTENDANCE ENCOURAGE GENEROUS STEWARDSHIP MAKE IT EASY TO REACH FALLEN-AWAY CATHOLICS REACH PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE It is my hope that all of the parishes in the Archdiocese will take advantage of this efficacious means of evangelization and adult catechesis. The tools made available are vital to the growth and development of the Catholic Faith. RAYMOND CARDINAL BURKE PREFECT EMERITUS OF THE APOSTOLIC SIGNATURA It would be most beneficial if Lighthouse CDs were made available to all men and women in the U.S. Military throughout the world. I heartily recommend your program to all the faithful of the Archdiocese and to all chaplains. MOST REVEREND TIMOTHY BROGLIO ARCHBISHOP FOR THE MILITARY SERVICES, U.S.A. As a reliable font of authentic materials promoting evangelization, I wholeheartedly recommend Lighthouse Catholic Media to those seeking to grow in their knowledge and love of the Catholic Faith. Lighthouse certainly plays an important role in the New Evangelization. MOST REVEREND J. MICHAEL MILLER ARCHBISHOP OF VANCOUVER, BC REAL RESULTS This has brought me back to the Church! This CD helped me tremendously! CHARLOTTE, MARINE CITY MI It jolted me out of stagnation! It has renewed my love for the Mass and for Jesus. NANCY, PLATTSBURGH NY I am the RCIA coordinator at my parish. I was so inspired by this CD that I plan to purchase and distribute it to my candidates and catechumens! KRISTINA, GENEVA IL We re interested in souls. When it comes to catechizing, there is no better tool for this technical age than the spoken CD. We have to reach the Christmas and Easter Catholics somehow! I recommend Lighthouse Catholic Media CDs. If there are concerns about expenses, don t worry; with one CD-listening convert or one lapsed Catholic who returns home, we would probably cover most of our costs in the first few Sunday collections! FR. FRANCIS PEFFLEY FOUNDING PASTOR OF HOLY TRINITY PARISH, GAINESVILLE VA

Let us be quite certain that the Holy Spirit bestows upon the Church the courage to persevere and also to seek new methods of evangelization, so as to bring the Gospel to the uttermost ends of the earth!
