Dear Pulpit Readers,

 

I had a very bad virus that had left me bed-ridden since Sunday morning.  Fortunately I didn’t know how sick I was until after Mass, so I was able to receive the Eucharist.  Unfortunately, I missed my Legion of Mary meeting and submitting EDITIONS for yesterday and today.

 

The Pulpit will return to its schedule WEDNESDAY and possibly an EDITION or EXTRA later today.

 

Yes, there was a back-up plan for situations like this, but the training of new personal had yet to begin.  This plan is already in place and the process has begun to train personal and any interruption in service should no longer occur in the future.

 

This website is growing and I deeply appreciate the faithfulness and good cheer of the Pulpit’s readers.

 

While I am typing this rare note, you may notice some changes in the month of June.  Be rest assured that the basic format of two EDITIONS daily will continue (yes, SATURDAY and SUNDAY are not part of the schedule, but continue to expect them for the foreseeable future).  What will change will be for the better.

 

These changes are intended to evangelize the maximum number of Catholics and non-Catholics, again, be rest assured, the basic format and content won’t change.

 

Thank you for your loyalty and please pray for me that the remainder of my illness will leave my body quickly rather than gradually!

 

In Jesus, Mary, & Joseph,

 

Tito

 

Editor
