Dear Subscribers,
We wish to thank you your past support, and particularly for your response to our recent requests for donations. We would like to update you with the current state of affairs at CERC.
Our mission is to bring you the most compelling and well-reasoned arguments for the Faith and living the Good Life. We've been doing that since 1996 and now have a curated and searchable database of over 10,000 articles. This is a valuable resource for anyone who has questions about the Catholic Faith and wants clear and well-stated answers. We plan to keep this free digital resource available to all for the foreseeable future.
Our current website, though, uses a platform that is expensive to maintain and in need of a very costly update. We have elected to switch to another platform that will be much easier and less expensive. We are able to do this thanks to your donations and the generosity of board member Frank Hangler, who is providing the work to do this at a fraction of the normal cost.
Given our revenue projections, we will not be able to support the wage of an Executive Director. This means that updates will be less frequent. You may have already noticed this. However, we will continue to add articles and links to the site of the finest writing on the Internet, sending the Update monthly and updating the site every two weeks.
Again, thank you for your past support, and we pray that you will continue to support us both financially and with your prayers. If you are able to support us with a regular monthly donation, that would be greatly appreciated and help us to plan the future with more certainty.
The Board of Directors of the Catholic Education Resource Center

"Pardon one another so that later on you will not remember the injury. The recollection of an injury is in itself a wrong. It adds to our anger, nurtures our sin and hates what is good. It is a rusty arrow and poison for the soul. It puts all virtue to flight." - St. Francis de Paola

| Spiritual Reading to Nourish a Mother's Heart |
| Inspire Virtue |
| People who advocate not having children and people who advocate having them both seem bothered by the fact that "the other side" spends so much time analyzing the alternative. |

| Overschooled and Undereducated |
| Crisis Magazine |
| The purpose of schooling—which is not the same as education—is to encourage people to express confident platitudes, which they are pleased to call their opinions, about things they know nothing of. |
