Therefore it is the time when we ask parishioners to support the publication and distribution of  The Catholic Moment, the newspaper of the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana.  Technically no one subscribes to The Catholic Moment.  Approximately 30 years ago Bishop Higi decided that every household registered in a parish of our diocese would receive The Catholic Moment.  Bishop Higi saw this as a valuable evangelization tool.  At that time many parish priests, certainly myself included, were very skeptical about the value of sending  The Catholic Moment.  Our parish pays $22 per year for every copy of  The Catholic Moment sent to a parishioner's home.  I encourage you to use the envelope in your packet to help the parish to pay the cost of the copy of  The Catholic Moment which you receive and possibly the copy of someone else.
