Sharing the news about the Nine First Fridays

Two weeks ago we were running a weekend book fair at a local parish. One of the parish priests recommended my book from the pulpit, urging people to make the "Seven Fridays." (More than a few voices from the pews shouted out the correct number!). Then yesterday, waiting for Church to open for confession, a woman walked by, looked at me and asked, "Are you the sister who wrote the book about the Nine Fridays?" I nodded, and she said, "I just love it!" (So glad! And she got the number right, too!)

Nine First Fridays is quite a challenge, as you know if you have tried to make them. But so worth the effort. And for this First Friday of October, there's now a poster you can download, print or share online to help others learn about (and make) the Nine First Fridays! Ask your parish if a poster can be put on the parish bulletin board, and included in the parish bulletin.

The QR code links to the Pauline webstore, where hardcover copies of the book can be ordered. We are waiting for the reprint stock to arrive, so orders will go out as soon as we ourselves get the books!
