Attention Parishes — Advertising Rate Increase

In recent years, The Catholic Missourian has felt the impact of rising production and printing costs, as well as the continued increase in postage rates. For some time, we’ve striven to absorb these excess expenditures without passing them along to those who support us.

In researching other newspaper advertising rates from similar dioceses in the Midwest, and after careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to increase our advertising rates in two stages — one increase in July 2024 and the other in January 2025. This is the first time we have updated our newspaper advertising rates in more than a decade. Please be assured that we have made every effort to make this a smooth transition.

The new advertising pricing structure for diocesan entities, including parishes and schools, will be as follows:

July 2024
Black/white (per column inch): $8
Color (per column inch): $10

January 2025
Black/white (per column inch): $10
Color (per column inch): $12

National Eucharistic Pilgrimage

Updated graphics are available now. Please make sure your parish is using the latest versions!

As part of the National Eucharistic Revival, the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will be present in the Diocese of Jefferson City from July 1-5. A media toolkit is now available to begin promoting this special event in your parish. Please watch for more information and details about this exciting event coming soon. The latest updates can be found by clicking here.

Plus, we are asking for feedback on how parish communities are planning to participate — click on the following link to help give us feedback so we can start to plan on how many to expect: https://diojeffcity.org/eucharistic-pilgrimage-parish-interest-form/

Corpus Christi resource now available

The annual resource for the solemnity is now posted on the FDLC website.  It’s thirty-seven pages long. Download it for free at: www.fdlc.org/BodyAndBlood2024.

Life in the Spirit Seminar

Bishop W. Shawn McKnight to celebrate feast of Mary, Mother of the Church, at national shrine at Lake of the Ozarks on May 20

Bishop W. Shawn McKnight will celebrate the feast of Mary, Mother of the Church, at the National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church with a Mass on Monday, May 20 at 6:30 pm. The Mass will be celebrated at the outdoor shrine, which is adjacent to St. Patrick Catholic Church, 176 Marian Drive in Laurie. 

In 2018, Pope Francis gifted the Church with a new feast day: The Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, to be celebrated each year on the day after Pentecost. 

The title “Mother of the Church” dates back to the fourth century writings of St. Ambrose of Milan, though. In 1968, Pope Paul VI gave official recognition of the title when he wrote, “The Blessed Mother of God, the New Eve, Mother of the Church, continues in heaven her maternal role with regard to Christ’s members, cooperating with the birth and growth of divine life in the souls of the redeemed.”

For 35 years, The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church has welcomed faith-filled visitors from around the world seeking to celebrate and share the beauty of these truths.

With the summer season beginning Memorial Day weekend, all are invited to worship with the community of the Mothers’ Shrine on Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays 8:30 am.

More information can be found at mothersshrine.com or by calling 573-374-MARY (6279).

Women’s Conference of Healing and Forgiveness

We all have something in our lives that is broken — that needs to be mended, fixed or healed. When we turn to Jesus and align our hearts and minds with Him and trust in His mercy, He comes to us and wraps His arms lovingly around us. He gently reminds us that “together, we can fix this!” Christ can heal broken relationships with God, broken relationships with others and broken parts of ourselves. Come join us to experience Jesus’ Divine Mercy through His Healing and Forgiveness which is freely offered to all. The 3-day Women’s Conference of Healing and Forgiveness, entitled “Women of Hope,” will be held September 5-7, 2024 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Lenexa, Kansas.
