Announcements from the pulpit and in the Parish Bulletins would be gratefully appreciated. If you so approve, some of our members would be willing to address the congregation at some pre-approved time during Mass. Another important factor for us to stress is that this is NOT A CWV FUNDRAISING EVENT!

As Catholic War Veterans we are sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and to preserve for posterity those rights and privileges contained within. We are leaders in the promotion of Democracy and citizen guardians of our Republic and loyal servants of Holy Mother Church. The Preamble to the CWV Constitution sums it up best:

“We American Citizens…members of the Catholic Church…under the spiritual authority of our Holy Father, the Pope, Bishop of Rome…and who have served in the Armed Forces of the United States…in order that we may be bound by a greater spirit of faith and patriotism…and that we may be of greater service to God, our Country and one another…and in order to perpetuate our ideals and ideas…establish a permanent organization.”

Can we count on you to help us in this endeavor? Our website has material available for additional information – If you should need any further information, please do not hesitate to call us at the numbers listed below. May God continue to bless, protect and guide you as His Chosen Shepherd for the parishioners of N. ______.

Respectfully yours in Christ,
