What is St. Mary's Messenger?

[easter eggs]

A few years ago, we said a novena to St. Therese of Lisieux, and the answer was the idea for St. Mary's Messenger, a Catholic version of Highlights.

We developed a sample issue and gave it to parents, teachers, children, priests, editors, writers, and others, to determine whether there was the need and interest for this new magazine. The answer? An overwhelming yes.

Now you can download that sample issue (6.9 MB) yourself! Take a look, and please send us your comments.

How You Can Help

St. Mary's Messenger is still in the development stage. All we need now to get going is for folks like you to fill out the form below. We need no commitment, just this quick expression of your interest.

First, please fill out the form below. By sending your information, you are not commiting to anything. It's an "intent to subscribe". By taking the time to show your interest, you'll help us get the needed funding to make St. Mary's Messenger a reality.

Second, please tell everyone you know about St. Mary's Messenger, so they can come here and express their interest too.

As a new magazine, we have no financial resources to advertise St. Mary's. We need your help to spread the word. If you have a blog or a web site, perhaps you can use one of our banners to spread the word.

Last, but not least, pray and ask for the intercession of the Blessed Mother and the Saints. We've consecrated St. Mary's Messenger to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and the magazine will always be Her magazine for Her children. It is dedicated to the glorification of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

We'll keep this website updated on the status of the magazine. Include your email in the form if you'd like to recieve free email updates as we go.

In Jesus and Mary,
The Editors

Here's a short survey about a possible publishing strategy. We'd start with a smaller version as an insert in another major Catholic publication and you'd purchase one combined issue at a time. This idea could help us reach the long term goal of regular subscriptions. (See here for more details.)

YES, I would order and prepay for a special combined issue of a major Catholic publishing company's magazine that included an insert of St. Mary's Messenger!
NO, I would not be interested in an insert at this time, but keep me updated on the status.

I would prefer to pay:
On-line by Credit Card
By Check

The price I'd pay for a special combined issue:
$4.95
$5.95
Other:

Number of copies I'd order:

(Special rates could still apply for bulk orders; homeschool and co-op groups, schools, parishes, clubs, etc.)

Thanks very much! To finish, just click the button below to send us this form.

From Our Readers

  • In short, St. Mary's Messenger is the type of educational tool the Catholic Church desires for the education of the faithful. St. Mary's Messenger is a good educational tool for parents to use with their children....The content is faithful to Catholic teaching and includes creative uses of a variety of topics which highlight the sovereignty of God in His kingdom.

  • It has a diverse blend of appealing articles and "kid-interest" stories and activities...in a faith-inspired format. We felt so "at-home" with it, and hope to be able to share some of the material with our 3rd Grade Religious Ed. students.

  • This would be perfect for my 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade classrooms at St. Paul Catholic Elementary School.
