NEWSLETTER EDITOR
I have been working on our data base and mailing lists. It becomes quite a process, because just when I think I have all the changes, some more come to my attention. Please send your officer changes as soon as they occur in your affiliate. You can use the "CONTACT US" page for this. You can also contact your Deanery President, the treasurer or the information tech
At present, we are sending hard copies of the newsletter (Our Catholic Voice) to Pastors, Parochial Vicars, Deacons, parish presidents and to “women of the parish” if the is no organized group in the parish.
We are sending e-mail copies to all other officers who have shared their e-mail addresses. We send copies to other Diocesan Councils, Province and to NCCW, most of them e-mail, although NCCW gets both. Please contact us if someone' information is missing. We would like the newsletter to be read by as many women as possible. I can add anyone to the list who would like a copy, send me your address or email. The newsletter can be forwarded to others and can be copied as often as you like. The reports can be used at your meetings.
Through the National Council, “We Are the Voice of Catholic Women”. Let your voice be heard! Hear what others have to say! Don't let us become the "biggest secret". There is much information to be shared:

Province;provinceofsaaintpaul-minneapolis,

the Council of Catholic Bishops, USCCB.org.

SAINT ISIDORE of SEVILLE
Did you say a prayer before logging onto your computer this morning? April 4th, is the feast day of
St. Isidore of Seville, the patron saint of the internet and technology! Although there weren’t too many computers in the time of St. Isidore (the 600s), his vast encyclopedia of knowledge, known as the Etymologiae, has a “structure similar to that of a database.” Accordingly, in 1997, Pope John Paul II gave St. Isidore the distinction to help guide Catholics in their internet and computer use.
We wonder what St. Isidore would have thought about the marvels of modern technology, like creating flawless ministry schedules in a minute flat, reading scripture online, and following the Pope himself on Twitter!
Before your next search, say St. Isidore’s prayer:
Almighty and eternal God, who created us in Thy image and bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful, especially in the divine person of Thy only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee that, through the intercession of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor, during our journeys through the internet we will direct our hands and eyes only to that which is pleasing to Thee and treat with charity and patience all those souls whom we encounter. Through Christ our Lord. Amen

Carlo Acutis Is the ‘Patron Saint of the Internet’
Carlo believed the internet could be used to bring people closer to God rather than lead them away. He famously said, “The Internet is a gift from God, but like all gifts, it must be used responsibly.” He also warned against wasting time on trivial things, reminding his peers, “We are all born originals, but many die as photocopies.”Carlo grew up like many young people of his generation. He loved technology, taught himself computer programming, and was fascinated by the power of the internet. But instead of using it for self-promotion, Carlo saw it as a tool to share the Gospel. When he was just 11 years old, he began creating a website that cataloged Eucharistic miracles from around the globe. His project grew into an international exhibition that continues to inspire parishes and schools today.
