“A world at prayer is a world at peace.” – Venerable Patrick Peyton
T he Gift of
MARIAN MERCY CMN is so grateful for our special relationship with the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception. We are honored to have Father Chris Alar, MIC as Spiritual Advisor to the CMN leadership team. We deeply value his insights as we make plans for the future of CMN.
Father is uniquely equipped with a robust background in business, plus he possesses a deep understanding of Theology. Additionally, he is a warm and articulate communicator. For these reasons, we are especially pleased to recommend the new EWTN Show: Living Divine Mercy, starting in September on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM Eastern Time. We believe that this is a way for all CMN members and subscribers to have access to Father Chris and the wisdom of the Marian Fathers. Such that, whether you are a retailer, apostolate leader, or organizational director, each of you can consider these holy priests your spiritual advisors too. CMN member, Kim Marchese, owner of the Building
the Kingdom of God book and gift store, is featured and tells her story of Divine Mercy in the first episode. This past summer, the CMN MOMENTUM’21 event provided powerful experiences featuring the Marian Fathers. On Wednesday afternoon, Father Chris Alar, MIC guided us in prayer and meditation with the Divine Mercy Chaplet. He was accompanied by beautiful vocal music from Anna Nuzzo. It was just one of the deeply touching spiritual moments of our event. On Thursday, in an atmosphere filled with extraordinary music led by Irish Tenor, Mark Forrest, Father Donald Calloway, MIC, celebrated our morning Mass honoring Saint
Joseph. The CMN IMPACT Breakfast, with Father Donald as our Keynote, followed Mass. Father’s insights about Saint Joseph truly provided everyone with spiritual food for the journey to sustain us in our work for God. One attendee was quoted saying, “Father Calloway’s talk at CMN wasn’t just powerful, it was historic.”
SPIRITUAL RESOURCES CMN considers it an honor to strengthen ministry-minded Catholic individuals, business owners, retailers, and apostolate leaders with valuable spiritual inspiration. CMN members who couldn’t make it to our event can access video recordings of the Marian Fathers, along with other recorded prayer experiences, on the resources page of the CMN website.

Heavenly Peace FOR WOMEN
At a time when we prepare to celebrate the motherhood of Mary and the Incarnation of Jesus, it’s important to consider the importance of apostolates devoted to the care and freedom of women, especially those enslaved in human trafficking. The team with CMN member, Fransiscan Peacemakers does just that.
SEEKING HOPE
They describe their work as “a pathway to sustainable, healthy, safe, and productive lives for women engaging in prostitution due to trauma, human sex trafficking and drug addiction.” In simple terms, their T-shirts say it all. They offer “Peace & all good” to women urgently needing it.
blessings
Founded by Capuchins, Michael Sullivan and Robert Wheelock in 1995, this work is rooted in the Fransiscan vision of God encountered in poor and humble places and in the sister-brotherhood of all. They exercise this vision in ways that provide long-term solutions empowered with JOY. The outreach begins on the highly prostituted streets of Milwaukee, where women are offered lunch, hygiene products and a hospitality center for respite and peer support. As women gain the confidence to embrace a new path, they are offered dignity and financial autonomy with work as part of the production team for the Franciscan Peacemakers’ body products, and housing in the Clare Community for up to 2 years. They are supported in physical, financial, emotional, and spiritual recovery. It’s a great blessing for survivors to experience living wage jobs in the Fransiscan Peacemakers social enterprise business that manufactures and sells all-natural bath and body products. Selling these products provides an amazing opportunity for Catholic stores and other organizations to assist in this vital ministry, while also generating revenue for their own work. The marketing message for such products is powerfully appealing to consumers and constituents. With the purchase of these items, shoppers are putting their arm around a desperate woman offering her freedom, hope, and a new path in life. CMN invites all our members to connect with Fransiscan Peacemakers and be part of a positive solution helping promote the dignity of women in such practical ways.
Heart-breaking Statistics Highlight the Need: Excerpt from article in The Federalist, January 31, 2020. “Human-trafficking is a $150 billion per year global industry, the secondmost profitable form of transnational crime after drug trafficking. It most frequently takes the form of sex-trafficking, which rakes in an estimated $99 billion per year. Abortion centers, such as Planned Parenthood, turn a blind eye for profit and enable the sex-trafficking industry. Both abortion and sextrafficking are an affront to human dignity, and both are profiting from human suffering.” Human trafficking occurs in all 50 states, with California having the highest rate. The majority of victims are women, and over 32% are children. Over half of trafficking victims are physically abused and/or experience other forms of exploitation through substance abuse.

Throughout this Year of
Saint Joseph
God seems to have been reminding us that we can trust Him to provide the strength we need to persevere through any trial. It’s good to reflect on the quiet resilience of Joseph’s life. Plus, with his powerful intercession for us from Heaven, we can move forward with confidence in whatever work God has called us to do. As we approach Christmas, Catholic Marketing Network wants our members, subscribers, and friends to know that we lift each of you and your needs up to the fatherly care of Saint Joseph, and to the motherly intercession of Holy Mary. We pray that your family and your endeavors will be blessed, protected, guided, and provided for through the grace of the babe in the manger, Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us. Wishing you abundant blessings,
The CMN Team

PARTNERSHIP
MOMENTUM This summer Catholic Marketing Network continued an over 25-year tradition of creating opportunities for organizations to experience connection, instruction and collaboration at our annual event. In 2021 we expanded our Conference Partners program to include: the National Association of Shrine and Pilgrimage Apostolate (NASPA), Coalition of Eucharistic and Marian Apostolates (CEMA), and CatholicBrain, along with long-time partner, the Catholic Writers Guild. These organizations were able to plan their own personalized tracks of conference content within the CMN event schedule. This win-win arrangement is of great benefit to CMN Conference partners. With the excitement of a major Catholic event, registration, and venue spaces managed for them, CMN partners can plan their own unique track of sessions that can be marketed to their own community. CMN is pleased to facilitate unity and collaboration across often otherwise divided groups. By bringing groups
of committed Catholics who are affiliated with different organizations together, we enrich each participant’s event experience and help them build important new relationships.
to offer the opportunity for Catholic educators and leaders to encounter this new initiative that will serve the needs of the Church in such a powerful way.
As a 2021 CMN Conference Partner, CatholicBrain used the CMN MOMENTUM’21 event to provide a powerful 2-day conference for DRE’s and catechists. It was also the official launch of the new, CatholicBrain sponsored: National Association of Professional Catechetical Leaders (NAPCL). This organization will provide professional catechetical development, training and resources for catechists, Catholic school teachers, principals, directors & coordinators of religious education. Their mission is to form, equip & empower all religious educators and administrators in catechesis for the 21st century. CMN is honored
NASPA offered a one-day conference track for Shrine leaders as part of their outreach to mid-west shrine leaders. Members of the steering team of CEMA used their experience at CMN MOMENTUM’21 to build solidarity among their team and to promote awareness of their “Call to Confraternity’’ initiative. The Catholic Writers Guild Event gathered both new and established writers to strengthen their craft. CMN is so happy to provide the space for such a broad range of ministry-focused Catholics to be empowered through instruction and collaboration.
Whoever has not begun the practice of prayer, I beg for the love of the Lord not to go without so great a good. There is nothing here to fear but only something to desire.
