Dear Beloved Ecumenical Catholic Communion,
To celebrate Easter this year, USA TODAY has issued their inaugural Easter Special Edition. Replete with editorials over everything from Easter’s history to Christian-focused Healthcare, Higher Education, Careers, Travel, and Charities, this Easter Special Edition will be a must read for anyone who celebrates this highest of holy days.
We are happy to announce to you
that the
Ecumenical Catholic Communion
has been included
in this Special Easter Edition of USA Today!
USA Today was seeking to find a congregation that believes deeply in inclusivity, particularly with the LGBTQIA+ community. In St. Louis, Missouri, they approached the First Congregational Church of Webster Groves UCC, where Sts. Clare & Francis ECC is nested. First Congregational immediately sent USA Today to Rev. Maggie Gann, pastor of Sts. Clare & Francis ECC.
We are especially grateful to Rev. Maggie Gann who connected the invitation to this story to our Ecumenical Catholic Communion. She in turn sought out someone who might be able to donate the cost of a full page advertorial for us in this edition.
Thus, an anonymous donor (outside of our Communion) paid $30,000 to place this advertorial so as to get the word out about who we are and the Light we have to offer.
May God especially bless this generous benefactor!
