Creating a Google Contact's List

I will start at my seminary on August 25, 2007. As mandated under holy obedience of my superiors, blogging and posting on Internet forums is prohibited for seminarians. Therefore, blogging will end on August 24, 2007. However, I hope and pray to be able to blog and update my sidebar in the summers. The blog will remain online and I ask you to please leave my blog in your sidebars and on your feeds' lists. This blog will not end; it shall only remain dormant as required under obedience.

I am especially proud of all of my articles listed under Catholic Categories in the sidebar. I hope and pray that these informative articles will remain useful during the time that I am unable to blog. Currently I am still working on updating the Catholic Feast Days article with information about the 1955 Calendar. The large task has taken me weeks already. I hope to finish it before entering the seminary.

Thankfully, I can still use email while in the seminary. If you have been a reader of this blog please email me and ask to be put on my Google Contact List. With the list, I will be able to email a unlimited group of people with the click of a button. I plan on using the group to email readers updates on my life and requests for prayers. I do not plan to use the group in order to send out news or articles that I would have written for my blog.

Therefore, if you are a person that I know has read my blog - either because you are a Catholic blogger or have written me before - let me know if you want to receive emails from me. I do not want people to sign up in order to to obtain personal information. That is why I will add your name to the Google Contact's List only if I have heard from you before or you are a Catholic blogger.

Update: I have "bumped" this post up so that others will see.

Hi Matthew,

I wanted to let you know I have enjoyed your blog immensely, but think it a good idea you're not allowed to blog during term-time.

I would love to stay in touch; I think you already have my email address.

All the best, and my prayers,

God bless,
Mark

Hello Matthew,

I found your blog a couple of months ago and have been checking in with you frequently. I am so pleased for you that you will be entering the seminary. You have my prayers always. I pray the Litany of the Hours and it has opened a dimension in my spiritual life that I find very uplifting and comforting. I feel close to God. My advise is simplify your life and remain faithful to the Hours no matter what happens. It is God speaking to you. You can't go wrong when you embrace God's Word.

I will miss your comments but I will keep you on my favourites. You have so much on your blog site that it will give me a chance to review all you have posted while you are in school.

I converted to the Catholic church and was confirmed at the Easter Vigil of 2002. The journey has been difficult but it is one that I would never trade on. There is much I am learning about the church traditions, past and present. It was confusing at first but I think I am beginning to understand why there are so many conflicts, contradictions and view-points. When you tell us of what used to be, it reminds me of the role that grandparents used to have in families when they would pass on their memories of the past. I realize that these old traditions kept your eyes constantly focused on heaven and allowed you to worship reverently.

I would be pleased to be put on your e-mail.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thankyou for answering God's call.

Bless you,

Izzy

Hi Matthew,
I have enjoyed reading your blog.
I have no clue how to put together a blog or even a picture beside my name - but I enjoy reading Catholic Blogs.
I have learned more from some of these blogs than all my years in a publicly funded Catholic school.
Did you notice another new Bishop in Canada? Our landscape is a-changin' !!!
My email is tbuonafede@look.ca
My prayers are with you.
Pax Christi,

Congratulations! I pray your years in seminary will be happy and fruitful.

What will happen with the Saint of the Year Devotion? Is there anyone else your faithful readers will be able to contact?

God bless you!

TNP,

Thanks for the prayers.

Concerning the St. for the Year Devotion, I will simply forward any emails asking for saints to the person drawing the saints. I have been acting as the "middle man" since it started. I will simply exit that role.

At this time I can not say if there will be a 2008 St. for the Year Devotion.

Matthew,

Good luck in your first term! I too am headed to seminary this fall (I also report on August 25, although I am certain it is a different sem!)

You and all those discerning vocations remain in my prayers.
