We are forwarding this appeal from the Southern Cross, who will be badly affected if parishioners can’t get their copy while Masses are cancelled.

Dear Father/Sister/Sir/Madam/Distributor
This is probably the last thing on your mind right now — but the survival of The Southern Cross depends on your support and help while the Covid-19 virus restrictions are in place.
We will carry on publishing, continuing our record of not having missed a single week’s publication in almost 100 years.
We would therefore please ask you to advise all your fellow Catholics through your email contacts, any social media, any parish newsletter etc. that they can subscribe to our digital version or to our printed edition which will be posted directly to them. They can do so by emailing subscriptions@scross.co.za or going to www.scross.co.za/subscribe
We would welcome any other suggestion of how we can get The Southern Cross to our loyal readers.
This will become even more urgent in case all of our churches are forced to close altogether for the duration of the pandemic.
These are trying times for all of us, but our continued existence in our 100th year depends on your help.
Please pray for us as we pray for all our priests and collaborators in the social communications apostolate.
