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 (addresses are found on the Board of Directors Page).
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 and to NCCW, most of them e-mail, although NCCW gets both. Please contact me if I am missing someone. 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!

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
