Here's a trend: Time says the Church is just booming down South, and it's full of believing Catholics, not mere "cultural Catholics". Rejoice!

Great article -- thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Catholics who want to participate in the evangelization of the South might want to join the Society of Sts. Francis Xavier and Therese. Members mail brochures to people in southern states and other parts of the country with small Catholic populations inviting them to take free correspondence courses in the teachings of the Church. There are no membership fees or dues and the brochures and mailing lists are provided free. The only cost is a 23 cent stamp a day and the few minutes it takes to address a double postcard and pray for the recipient. The courses are provided by the Catholic Home Study Service (http://www.amm.org/chss/chss.htm) and Catholics as well as non-Catholics are invited to enroll. Anyone interested in joining can request further information from the Society of Sts. Francis Xavier and Therese, 216-32 Rockaway Point Boulevard, Breezy Point, NY 1169
OOPS! The ZIP Code of the Society in 11697
