Court Reporter Patron Saint's Cards Available for Christmas

[Bill Parsons]

Dear Friends,

Many of you are familiar with the patron saint's card of court reporting which Father Nadolny had made for the court reporting profession.

Several court reporters in past years have included the patron saint's cards in Christmas cards sent to court reporter friends.

Through special arrangements with Father Nadolny, I provide the patron saint's cards to the court reporting profession handling the requests and doing the mailings.

The cards have been blessed by Father Nadolny. A few years ago I took all the cards to the Sacred Heart Church rectory where Father Nadolny conducted a beautiful, beautiful blessing ceremony over the cards.

I myself receive no payment for my services, and thus far I have paid all the postage myself.

Father Nadolny accepts donations for the court reporter patron saint's cards.

If anyone requesting the cards wishes to donate to Father Nadolny's Good News Fund, donations are greatly appreciated by Father Nadolny, and he often sends the people thank-you notes and special gifts. One court reporter was so very, very thrilled to receive a Jesus doll from Father Nadolny, the Jesus doll created by Father Nadolny and Mr. Joe Roy.

People may be interested in the Father Nadolny Good News Fund. In the past that fund has sent T-shirt gifts to our troops to Iraq and aided to the Hurricane Katrina victims with tractor trailer trucks of botttled water sent from Connecticut to Louisiana.

Here's a partial list of the 2008 yearly report on the Father Nadolny Good News Fund for last year.

The Good News Fund gave the following donations in 2008:

1. To adopting and hosting orphans from the Ukraine.

2. To support Sacred Heart Seminary in the Ukraine.

3. To support St. Paul Seminary in Sierre Leone, West Africa.

4. For display of 20 billboards that read: "Lord, Remember that Nothing is Going to Happen to Me Today that You and I Can't Handle."

5. To donatge to 24 parishes and schools in Connecticut from our clothing bins entitled Kiducation Program.

6. To donate to the Sisters of Mercy.

7. To present live and taped TV programs and radio spots.

8. To help unwed mothers through the St. Girard's Home in Hartford.

9. To place religous advertisements in newspapers.

10. To distribute Catholic booklerts and prayer cards (i.e. Catholic Prayers, Advent and Lent Booklets, lose weight prayers and other religious items for the home).

It's important that the 2008 report of the Father Nadolny's Good News Fund be available to court reporters, some of which reporters have tried to cast a bad aspirations on the patron saint's cards being provided to the court reporting profession.

In closing, the court reporter patron saint's cards are available for the Christmas season as well as copies of The Court Reporter Creed, the original version and revised version.

For those court reporters and court reporter students who have never viewed the St. Cassian of Tangiers patron saint's card and its beautiful verses, they can view the card and learn about court reporter patron saints by going to my website page http://www.courtreportersmuseum.info/tangiers.htm
