Sample Script for Starting Kiosk Program and CD of the Month at the Same Time

(Insert your own personal testimony and parish information)

My name is _________. At Fr. ____’s request, I am here today/tonight to tell you about an exciting new Catechetical and Evangelization ministry here at (St. Frances), Lighthouse Catholic Media. Lighthouse Catholic Media is a sister company of Saint Joseph Communications which has distributed over 17 million Catholic audios over 30 years. In the main entrance of the church is a beautiful wooden kiosk that holds brochures and 9 CDs. The CDs are inspiring talks by well-known Catholic bishops, priests, deacons and lay persons. The CDs are for teens and adults and are on various topics of Catholic life.

Some of the titles are:

The Mass Explained

How to Apply Our Faith to Our Families

The Holy Eucharist

15 Things to Do in the Midst of Suffering … and more

(Share your own testimony.) I am really excited to have this Faithraiser ministry here, because my own life has been changed by the power of the Holy Spirit working through CDs. About 11 years ago when our first children were young, I really felt convicted that I had better start understanding the Faith my parents, Tom and Jean Kavanaugh, had raised me in if I wanted to teach it to my children and live it. By “chance”, I ordered a cassette tape about a protestant minister who became Catholic - Scott Hahn. I listened and I was hooked. Since then, I have listened to untold number of CDs, in the car, while ironing, while exercising, and as I have, I have learned my Faith and fallen in love with Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church.

Many of us don’t have time to go to bible study or adult education class, but now we can keep learning and growing in the Faith wherever we are. Fr. ___ has generously made the CDs available to the parish for free! Of course, if you are able, a donation of $3 or more is gratefully accepted. What a simple way to turn your minivan (car) into a chapel, your gym into a classroom, or your home into a place where you fall in love with God.

In addition to the CDs available here in the parish kiosk, Lighthouse also offers a CD of the Month Club. Each month, Lighthouse will ship you a brand new title, not yet available at the parish. Your credit card will be charged just $5 each month and 15% of that monthly amount goes back to St. Frances. Additionally, if you sign up for the CD of the Month Club today, we will give you a free DVD titled, Our Catholic Faith.

Visitors, too, are encouraged to pick up a few CDs and join the CD of the Month Club. The CDs will be great for the drive home, and you can have The CD of the Month Club CDs shipped to your northern address.

In the Gospel, Jesus says “I have come that you might have life and have it to the full.” Let’s take advantage of this new CD ministry to learn and live our Catholic Faith more fully!
