To those who love the Catholic Church, its priesthood and religious: The Laboure Society offers an eternal return-on-investment opportunity!

"I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you, praying always with every joy in my every prayer for you •.• " Phil 1:3-4

The Laboure Society exists for one purpose: to assist aspirants to priesthood or religious life who find themselves unable to answer their call due to personal debt, substantially in the form of education loans. Dioceses and religious communities cannot assume this debt; the aspirant m~t be debt free, before he or she can enter formation.

Operational since 2003 as a 501 (c) (3), a public charity, the society has already experienced significant success. Through December 2008, 155 individuals have been ordained, professed or are in various stages offormation as a result of the generosity of God's Holy people: 31 to the priesthood, 109 as sisters and 15 as religious brothers with an additional 90 in our portfolio currently in need of assistance. The Laboure Society has 'managed' these accomplishments thanks to our Lord's amazing and abundant Grace, His precious mother, and our dear patroness, St. Catherine Laboure.

Please consider joining this important work through your prayers, and financially as you are able; journey with Patricia Ciavarella as she answers the call to religious life with the Benedictine Sisters of St. Scholastica Priory, a community of sisters located in Petersham, Massachusetts (www.stscholasticapriory.org). Make a donation to The Laboure Society today and begin receiving your 'eternal' return on investment through Patricia's prayers, promised for you and your loved ones, forever.

If you have any question or wish to discuss, just contact me. Thank you.

Continued blessings,

Cy Laurent
