Christmas is All About the Baby!
CMN Members champion Pro-life values
Christmas is when we get to celebrate a very special baby. Joyfully recalling birth of Jesus as a baby reminds us of the sacredness of every baby, born and unborn. Catholic Marketing Network is a deeply pro-life organization with members who champion the dignity of every life...at every stage, age, and ability. We are so honored to assist the growth and success of so many amazing organizations and individuals who work to advance the pro-life cause.
Life-Affirming Christmas Gift-Giving
CMN Members are very creative in developing concrete ways to promote life. The gifts you buy can promote the pro-life cause in subtle and gentle ways. Lumen Mundi's pocket tokens remind everyone that: “Life is the most precious gift of all.” The movie UNPLANNED, now on DVD, is a tremendous portrayal of Abby Jphnson’s pro-life conversion and is the perfect pro-life media-based gift. The Saints Gift Collection and Glowing Catholic Prints enables gift-givers to include LED candles, artwork and rosaries depicting Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Unborn, in their Christmas gift selections. Chastity-related scripture jewelry from Spirit and Truth Christian Jewelry promotes life and honors purity. Books like Stay With Me by Catholic Teen Books author, Carolyn Asfalk are great life & chastity-affirming gifts for teens. Catholic to the Max produces a broad array of pro-life apparel and gifts. Shop at a local CMN member Catholic retailer for pro-life gift products like these and more. Use the CMN Member Locator to find your local Catholic Retailer to choose gifts like these and more!
Influencing Culture to Value LIFE!
As a marketing network, the CMN is sensitive to the way marketing and messaging can influence culture in pro-life ways at Christmas or anytime. The Nativity’s focus on infancy is just a particularly opportune time when baby Jesus leads the way. New CMN Member, Hosea Initiative, led by Terry Beatley, is on a mission to help everyone understand and undo the toxic abortion messaging tactics that have dominated America for the past three decades.
We celebrate the tenacity of CMN member Priests for Life in their courageous efforts to break through cultural noise that dehumanizes children as fetuses, and tragically normalizes the barbarism of infanticide. Their tiny prayerbook, In the Palm of His Hand, Prayers to end Abortion, might be perfect to tuck into a Christmas stocking to plant seeds of pro-life prayer to energize the souls of family and friends.
Affirming Pro-life Catholic Healthcare
When Solidarity HealthShare co-founder Chris Faddis, tells the story of the genesis of this unique alternative to health insurance, you can’t help but get excited about the pro-life Catholic values that undergird the entire organization. This CMN member organization enables families to share each other’s health expenses in a way that actually often costs less than typical health insurance. It is a rare company that truly offers pro-life peace of mind: each member's health care dollars will never support organizations or practices inconsistent with with pro-life values. Solidarity Healthshare conforms to the moral guidelines of the Catholic Church so members never pay for anything that violates their conscience. Solidarity embraces Christmas pro-life principles 24/7... 365 days a year.
CMN member, Catholic Medical Association, provides Catholic physicians a sense of support and community in courageously upholding pro-life values in their work. They provide Catholic families a way to find and connect with doctors that won’t encourage teens to embrace contraception, and won’t include abortion or euthanasia in the array of services they refer or provide. Importantly, they provide educational resources to empower doctors, medical students, educators, scientists, politicians, and families in choosing and promoting medical care that affirms faith and pro-life values. Energize your pro-life Christmas spirit in a practical way...connect with the Catholic Medical Association and support their work.
