CatherineM Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I haven't been around a lot this summer because I'm busy with renovations and settling in with our new wards. That doesn't mean that Phatmass isn't constantly in my thoughts and prayers. It is time again for Dust to get ready for youth conferences. He needs financial support to do that. I've given mine, and I expect everyone else to give what they can as well. In case you guys haven't noticed, our faith, our beliefs, and our religious freedoms are under attack. We have to stand up for what we believe. We have to be visible and vocal. We have to evangelize to non-believers and Catholics alike, especially to those most vulnerable to this attack, our young people. I wish we could donate enough money for Phatmass to be on every billboard, but until then, we have to have a presence wherever we can. So help Dust out, or else. I'm not above publicly calling people out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissyP89 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Anyone know if I can use a purchase from the merch store to go to the conference fund? I'd like to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccountDeleted Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 First one on the Donation indicator, although I know that doesn't mean I was first in sending it in, just first to use the PayPal link on the phorum page I think. I put it between my gas and electric bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it when you said that you are not above publicly calling people out. It made my day. I will see what I can do. I admit I am terrible about donating things. The only real donation I have ever made was to the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, but that was only because they had a booth at the Midwest Catholic Family Conference and I felt like donating two dollars to them. I would like to donate, it is just that I am afraid of my parents asking why I am donating, where the money is going, why I want to donate there, etc, and I do not like verbal confrontation at all. I am absolutely terrible at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
