Dear Friend,
If you have trouble remembering birthdays, like I do, the Missionary Oblate birthday cards might be perfect for you. I ask you to take the following steps to make sure that you remember your loved ones on their birthday:
1) Look over these special birthday cards and decide which of your loved ones you think would appreciate receiving them. 2) Send me the names and birthdays of these loved ones so they can be prayed for in a special Mass at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows on their birthday. 3) Select from the special devotional birthday gifts offered by the Missionary Oblates, which you can give to your special person on their birthday. 4) Enclose a donation of $7 or more, or whatever you can afford for each card, in support of the ministries of the Missionary Oblates.
By sharing the enclosed birthday cards with loved ones, you are performing a wonderful act of kindness. Not only are you recognizing someone’s birthday, you are also helping to make birthdays special for children all over the world who are served by the Oblates. I hope you will help me spread the joy of Christ by sending these Missionary Oblate birthday cards to your loved ones. You truly are a partner in ministry with us as we work to improve the lives of less fortunate people.
In the love of Jesus Christ,
 Fr. John Madigan, O.M.I. Oblate Director
P.S. If you have not received a birthday card from me in the past, please tell me your birth date. On that day my brother Oblates and I will remember you in our Masses and prayers.
