More than just answering phones...
You may notice in the coming weeks that Jen
Sylvester isn't the sweet voice you hear on the phone when you call CYM...at
least not for a four to six weeks. Jen had surgery this week and is resting
comfortably. Marie Holsizer is filling in for Jen. If you'd like to send Jen
something, send it care of CYM, 1626 N. Union Street, Wilmington, DE 19806. Get
well Jen and welcome Marie!
Reality Show Gets Religion on A&E
They’re bright, All-American guys with
ambition to spare, hilarious friends and
family, even girls they might want to marry.
But beneath the surface, they are in turmoil
trying to decide whether they’re being
called in an entirely different direction.
GOD OR THE GIRL
captures the tension, terror, and triumph of
Joe, Mike, Steve, and Dan, four 20-something
men at the most important crossroads of
their lives, as, over the course of this
series, they decide whether or not to enroll
in the seminary and become Roman Catholic
priests, or to find the love of a woman and
settle down with a family. In this five-part
series which begins Easter Sunday, viewers
will become part of a powerful journey whose
conclusion will define its subjects forever.

Quotable
Love the earth and sun and
animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that
asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others...
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
~Walt Whitman |

Reel Talk
 Looking for a movie
that will inspire and entertain? Try
Evelyn,
a true story about the Children's Act in
Ireland in the 1940s and 50s. See how a
father fights for the right to raise his
children and how one girl's prayer changes
even the stoniest of hearts. If you have a movie to suggest,
email CYM.
