The CatholiCity Message
Volume IX, Number 7 – August 17, 2005
Dear CatholiCity Citizen,
We have great news. We have successfully completed a series of highly-critical internal programming projects, so the regular CatholiCity Message will return to your inbox before the end of August. We have a special gift planned to show our gratitude for your patience in the next Message. Thank you.
In the meantime...
CAN YOU DO US THIS FAVOR?
One of our projects included a complete overhaul of our online ordering process, which is more simple than ever, secure to the highest standard, gives you more options, and should be a pleasant experience.
Now we need your real-world feedback to "make it perfect."
Could you take a moment to click over to the Mary Foundation or Saint Jude Media online order forms and place a request for our free Catholic CDs or novels?

THE MINIMUM TEST IS REAL
There is a nominal processing fee of $1 to place an order for a single CD or book–and it will be a *real* order–not a "test." We'll ship it immediately. Our friends from Canada and overseas are encouraged to join in as well.
FEEDBACK NEEDED
After you place your order, please contact us using the provided "Comments" field to send us suggestions for improving the process or provide us with your objective opinion of the experience itself. Was it easy? Did you understand everything? Did the "Order Confirmation" window give you a precise and friendly explanation–and did it print out? Was your email confirmation crystal clear? These are the kinds of things we need to know.
Your reactions help more than you can imagine.
LONGTIME BENEFACTORS
It will be especially helpful to us to hear from our longtime benefactors who used the "old" system so you can give us a comparison.
If you need to "re-stock" up for your parish, family or friends, or just want an extra copy of one Mary Foundation Rosary CD for your commute (or an audio tape version for Grandma), this is the perfect time.
FIRST-TIME FRIENDS
Feedback from "first time" benefactors is also very important. If you haven't read a Saint Jude Media novel (over one million satisfied readers) or heard a Mary Foundation CD, this is your opportunity to join our work in touching literally millions of souls all over the world.
A few minutes of your time and one dollar will help others. Thank you so much. Here are those links again:

QUOTATIONS TO PONDER
Persons and things look great at a distance which are not so when seen up close.
Cardinal Newman
Who noble ends by noble means obtains, Or, failing, smiles in exile or in chains, Like good Aurelius let him reign–or bleed, Like Socrates–that man is great indeed.
Alexander Pope
The companion of patience is wisdom.
Saint Augustine
Christianity is not a philosophical speculation. It is not a construction of our mind. Christianity is not our work. It is a Revelation. It is a message that has been consigned to us, and we have no right to reconstruct it as we like or choose.
Pope Benedict XVI
Order means light and peace, inward liberty and free command over one's self. Henri Frederic Amiel
With Christ,
Your Friends at CatholiCity
