Dear John,

 

In 2020, thanks to you, over 28 million blessings went out to subscribers around the world from our website, daily emails, books and audiobooks, or through our magazine's print and digital editions.

 

The last 13 months have challenged everyone, everywhere. Between the pandemic, racial unrest, a strained economy, climate change, and other global issues, you have endured unprecedented trials. 

 

But you persevered through all of them. And now, hopefully, you are seeing a light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

 

Despite these challenges, many of you stepped up to help Franciscan Media spread messages of hope rooted in the Gospel in 2020. And for that, we are truly grateful. Thank you for your love and support, for subscribing to our daily e-newsletters, and most of all your prayers.

 

“Thank you. There are days when I am down, and words of encouragement come from you.” —Ana Y., Los Angeles, California

 

Ana, and countless others, might have struggled alone in 2020 had it not been for your support. 

 

To read more about the reach around the wold your prayer and support enabled in 2020 you can access the Annual Impact Report by clicking here. 

 

St. Francis believed in reaching people in new ways. Last year alone, 350,000 people asked Alexa and other smart devices to provide them with Saint of the Day or Minute Meditations. It isn't likely he could have imagined the ways we reach the hungry today but, we think he would be pleased.

 

Please read more about the impact your donations made in 2020 and how those donations will continue spreading the gospel in the spirit of St. Francis to an ever-widening circle. 

 

Thank you and God bless,

Margie Powell
