What the Daily CATHOLIC has to offer(details.htm)

Your Passport to the

Because of the urgency of the internet in this high-tech society we want to be fresh with the most recent news on the Church today. Plus, we want to give our readers everything they need, but not all at once. We feel, after extensive research, that by going daily we are able to fulfill our readers as well as enhancing subscriptions. Many have said there is so much in these publications that it is difficult to read it all or print everything out in one sitting. Therefore, we have shortened the contents in each issue to accommodate the busy schedule of browsers. They will be able to print out the entire issue in TEXT ONLY format each day in one printing consisting of two sections.

Each day of the week Monday through Friday in 1999 we feature:

NEWS & VIEWS of the Day - taken from Catholic news sources and today's headlines. We will report events of the day from a Catholic perspective
LITURGY OF THE DAY - including links to the readings and commentaries of the day, vignettes on the saint or feast for that day and preparations for Daily Mass the following day
The MONTHLY MEDJUGORJE MESSAGE plus the essence of the messages Our Lady has been imparting for over 17 years at Medjugorje.
"I SOLEMNLY TELL YOU..." - Pertinent Messages to the world from Jesus and His Blessed Mother to the Hidden Flower of the Immaculate Heart
The DAILY WORD - words to live by and "fast food" for thought
PRAYERS & DEVOTION for the Day - it might just be a simple prayer or a novena but all prayers are vital
MILLENNIUM MILESTONE TIME CAPSULES Providing time capsule events that happened today which were pertinent in Church History.
SIMPLY SHEEN Brilliant daily quotes to ponder from one of the wisest Catholic communicators that ever lived, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen.
CATHOLIC CANVAS Daily Dose of Ecclesial facts on the Church. Sometimes mere trivia, other times coinciding with either the feast day or something tying in with that day or theme.
COUNTDOWN TO THE JUBILEE Up-to-the-minute countdown clock winding down to January 1, 2000.

SITE OF THE DAY Each issue we feature a recommended Catholic Site of the Day for readers to explore.

In addition, we are alternating features and columns each day to give the subscriber a well-rounded Catholic publication that keeps them up-to-date as well as informed on important issues that affect their Catholic faith. Thus, the following days of the week will carry these features, articles and columns:

We think you'll be excited about the DAILY CATHOLIC and ask you to tell others (who have access to the internet) to check us out. See why so many Catholics consider the Daily CATHOLIC the "USA Today for CATHOLICS!

It is a significant increase of 1000% in volume as we have gone from 25 issues a year to 250 issues a year, publishing daily Monday through Friday except on certain holydays and for a week or two during the summer when we will be on hiatus for a well-deserved vacation after so many issues.

The task and the costs are not easy and we humbly ask those who believe in what we are doing here to consider the possibility of helping us and BE AN ANGEL by contributing what you can to help us continue this ministry.

Serving as the flagship periodical of MIR-A-CALL CENTER the DAILY CATHOLIC will continue to live up to the plaudits of what A Call To Peace was for seven years - an acclaimed Roman Catholic and Marian publication balancing pertinent messages from Medjugorje, the Hidden Flower, and more with Scripture, Dogma, Doctrine, Traditions and Teachings of Holy Mother Church. Dynamic, inspiring on-going series, articles and columns on issues today; Church history, sacraments, liturgy, Marian apparitions, Pope John Paul II, and more by respected writers and religious.
