Letter from the Chairman

Hello Carolina Catholic Family.

Welcome to the final days of Advent preparation and anticipation for the birth of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  Our Catholic Faith is such a beautiful gift.  May we share this gift so others see the beauty of each season both Advent and Christmas.  Let it show that we are not defined by the materialistic pursuits and rules of the secular culture but rather by the Truth of our Faith, Jesus Christ, the Word Made Flesh and His Liturgical Calendar.

In this week’s newsletter you will find we have added links for easy access to our top three PROJECT 22 commitments:  the Golden Anniversary, the Synod, and the Eucharistic Congress.  We have volunteer committees working in each of these areas.  You are welcome to join us.

With all the amazing projects we’re undertaking, I will share our PROJECT 22 FOCUS with you every week to keep you updated and encourage your input and prayers.

Spotlight Program

  • In a world where the voice of the Christ Child can barely be heard, let this Christmas be one of the true Peace and Joy with Him as your focus.  Like the silent and faithful beasts of the stable in Bethlehem who obediently waited quietly for the birth of The Savior, let us too wait with solemn faith and hope with eyes fixed on the Holy Family in joyful anticipation.   On behalf of The Obligation Radio Show and the Carolina Catholic Media Network, a Blessed Christmas Season to all!
