			<description><![CDATA[<p>
After a very encouraging response from people who ordered the Easter and Fall 2009 mini-issues with <em>Catholic Digest</em>, we have decided to <strong>continue our efforts</strong> to publish a <strong>large-sized, independent magazine</strong> that can be offered as a yearly subscription.

			<title>About St. Mary's Messenger</title>
			<link>http://stmarysmessenger.com/about</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>
A few years ago, we said a novena to St. Th&eacute;r&egrave;se of Lisieux,
and the answer was the idea for <span class="magname">St. Mary's Messenger</span>, 
a Catholic version of <em>Highlights</em>, for ages 7&ndash;12.
</p>

<p>
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 <strong>yes</strong>.

</p>

<!--
<p>
Today, a new issue of <span class="magname">St. Mary's Messenger</span> is now available to <a href="http://stmarysmessenger.com//order">order</a>.
You can place your order <a href="http://stmarysmessenger.com//order">here</a>.
</p>
-->

<p>In 2009, we published two more issues, and you can look at some free <a href="http://stmarysmessenger.com//pub/stmarys_magazine_sample.pdf">sample pages</a>. Please 
<a href="http://stmarysmessenger.com/mailto:editor@stmarysmessenger.com" class="special">send us your comments</a>. 
</p>

<p>
And please <strong>pray</strong> and ask for the intercession of our 
Blessed Mother (for whom our magazine is named) and the saints. We've 
consecrated <span class="magname">St. Mary's Messenger</span> to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and 
the magazine will always be her magazine and for her children, 
dedicated to the glory of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
</p>

<p>
Thanks, and God bless you.
</p>
