Does CCW Matter? Some Messages…

Jeff Ostrowski · January 10, 2018

We only exist because people from all over the world donate $5.00 per month.

Some messages we have received:

Keep on doing what you do; despite criticism.

Thanks for all the work you do for our Lord; and for His Church! It matters so much.

Keep the traditions as St Paul had admonished Holy Mother Church; no matter the battle we face. May Mother Mary protect you and may God bless you.

May God Bless your efforts to restore our Liturgical Patrimony; particularly Sacred Music; to its rightful place. The practice videos for the Propers of the TLM are what are most helpful to me; and any additional efforts in adding more Feast days is greatly appreciated!

God bless you for all you do. Wish we could do more to help.

I rely on CCW for all my Latin Mass info; God Bless you. Ours is the only parish in the Diocese that offers a weekly TLM.

Admire your work over the years.

Previous pastor at St. Jude; Martin TN; now at Ascension; Memphis TN. Music director at my new church is delighted to discover there is a more beautiful alternative to the dreadful OCP “Respond and Acclaim.”

I love your work. Please use this small donation however you can to make the Church better.

Thank you for all you do for the Church! Happy Advent.

I have wanted to do this for a long time; but just today noticed you use Cornerstone and not PayPal. So thank you for that better alternative for Catholics.

Though I spent almost all of my four decades as organist in Protestant churches; I appreciate so much your dedication to dignified music for the Catholic Church. I enjoyed “reading through” at the computer the Flor Peeters chant accompaniments. I played many of his hymn and chant settings; and once attended a recital he gave in NYC.

Many many thanks for all your hard work.

Please consider donating $5.00 per month.

If you want CCW to receive the highest percentage of money, use Cornerstone instead of PayPal.

Whenever you purchase on Amazon, please follow the directions (at the very bottom) and we get a small percentage!

    Weeping For Joy! (We Hope!)
    Listening to this Easter Alleluia—an SATB arrangement I made twenty years ago based on the work of Monsignor Jules Van Nuffel—one of our readers left this comment: “I get tears in my eyes each time I sing to this hymn.” I hope this person is weeping for joy!

Random Quote

“Gerard Manley Hopkins once argued that most people drank more liquids than they really needed and bet that he could go without drinking for a week. He persisted until his tongue was black and he collapsed at drill.”

— A biography of Fr. Gerard M. Hopkins (d. 1889)
