BUY CaFE RESOURCES ONLINE
CaFE (Catholic Faith Exploration) now have an online shop
for people wanting to order their brilliant catechetical and
evangelistic videos and DVDs. The latest being PLUGGED IN
- their MTV style Youth programme. You can get to their online
shop from their website www.faithcafe.org. It’s quick,
easy and secure - and you can log on at any time of the day
or night!
It is also a great way to make online donations. This is vitally
important as sales alone do not cover the costs of making
their video/DVD material. Without donations from generous
organisations and individuals they would not be able to continue
their essential and creative work, as they receive great encouragement
but little funding from the institutional Church. Check out
their material and be inspired! Website www.faithcafe.org
Prepare for Pentecost!
Pentecost novena cards available from the Goodnews Office.
They are priced at £ 8 for 100 . Fr Pat Collins Novena
cards are £ 10 for 100.
 “THE
DA VINCI CODE” THE MOVIE!
The movie of the best selling novel “The Da Vinci Code”
comes out in May. While it is on cinema release it will no
doubt become the topic of discussion everywhere. The plot
challenges many parts of the Christian Faith and C.A.S.E.
is busy collating resources to help prepare people for this
so that the film can be used as an evangelistic opportunity,Bishop
Malcom McMahon comments “We need to use the film as a
positive opportunity through which we can enter debate and
lead people to the truth and the Catholic Faith. Every parish
should be encouraged to use the resources which are being
made available” For a list of useful books log on to
