Please consider helping Canterbury students go on pilgrimage

Dear Friends

The University of Mary Washington Canterbury Club is going on a holy pilgrimage to Holy Island Iona during their spring break. We are beginning our fundraising campaign to help underwrite the pilgrimage for students who would not be able to attend. One way we are raising funds is by selling magazines. You may visit out online magazine store
here

Please consider ordering a few magazines through our site and support the spiritual nurture of a great group of students. God's blessings on you for your generosity and support.
