SVNDAY EARLY-AFTERNOON EDITION

Illumined Analysis, Punditry, and News:
Why Don’t You Go Up to My House? – Ida Adams at Catholic Stand Magazine

Note:
We are navigating a brief but challenging season financially, yet a sustainable path lies clearly ahead. Your generous support—especially if you’ve been considering a gift—will help carry us faithfully through to Christmas. Come the new year, we will be firmly in the clear. Once that day arrives, this ‘note’ will be replaced with a simple word of gratitude: “We have emerged stronger.” Thank you deeply for your prayers and partnership.
– Robert “Tito” Edwards, Editor-in-Chief
