Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, 

The merciful love of God is the heart of the new evangelization.  This love is given to us through the Incarnation of God the Son, the Redemption.  He won for us through His Passion, Death and Resurrection, and the ongoing graces He gives us through His Church.  These facts form the backbone of our faith.  Television, radio, the Internet and the daily paper continuously give us their own representation of the Church and the world.  Their representation differs significantly from the vision of the world proclaimed by Jesus and His Church.   We must strive continuously to immerse our minds in the truths of the faith in order to counteract the secular view we so often encounter. 

Catholic media, particularly our Catholic newspaper, exist to help meet this critical need in the life of faith.  Through our Archdiocese newspaper, we learn in a timely way news of the Church, the teachings of the faith applied to our time, and a vision of world events in the light of faith.  For these very serious reasons, I have asked that pastors make sure that the St. Louis Review reaches every home in the Archdiocese.  I ask you to take the initiative to subscribe or renew your subscription to the Review at this time.

 For those who are visually impaired, the St. Louis Review is available o tape.  I ask that those who wish to receive the Review on Tape please contact their pastor or the St. Louis Review directly.

 In this time when the new evangelization seeks to permeate modern culture with the truth of the Gospel, I ask you to receive an important instrument of this work in our Archdiocese by subscribing to the St. Louis Review.

 Invoking God’s blessing upon you and your homes, I am 

Yours devotedly in Christ,
