If Reel Homilies has been a blessing to you, please consider making a Giving Tuesday gift so we can continue producing this series and launch a new series with Father Tim called “Ask A Priest.” Please make your tax-deductible donation below, and a group of generous donors will match it dollar for dollar up to $5,000. God bless you for your support!
One of the greatest joys of being a priest is being a spiritual father, where I can give the life of Jesus to thirsty people. And that includes being a spiritual father through Spirit Juice, where I get to provide the love of Christ to all of you. And Spirit Juice wants to go a step deeper and create a new series called “Ask A Priest,” where we will go deeper into our Catholic faith, prayer life, and all the questions burning in our hearts. But to make this happen, we are raising $20,000 this Giving Tuesday to make this free content available for all of you.
But great news: thanks to some fantastic anonymous donors, your dollar will be matched up to $5,000 if you make a gift now. Please consider making a gift, especially if you have grown closer to Jesus through this content. Thank you for your generosity; you are always in my prayers. God bless you. This is Spirit Juice, peace.
