Hi folks, this is Don Betanelli, CEO of StarQuest with a special message as we approach the Christmas season.

Over the years, the StarQuest Network has continued to grow as a unique Catholic apostolate, bringing faith and culture together in ways that educate, inspire, and entertain.

Shows like Jimmy Yakin's Mysterious, secrets of Doctor Who, and secrets of

Star Wars have reached hundreds of thousands of listeners and viewers around the world. This

year, we've seen exciting developments, including new series, improved video production,

and an ever-expanding audience. And we have big plans for next year, including yet more new shows and an

exciting opportunity to travel with me and Jimmy Aiken to Italy for the Jubilee Year.

But with growth comes challenges. We're thrilled to have so many loyal supporters whose generosity

make all our shows possible. It's also a reality that over time some of our

supporters will step away from their giving for whatever reason. However, it is also true that the

financial support that sustains this mission currently comes from fewer than one percent of

those who enjoy our podcast and videos.

If we're to continue producing this life-changing content and expanding to reach new people,

we urgently need new supporters to join us and current supporters to increase their assistance.

This Advent and Christmas, the time when nonprofits like ours receive most of their support for the year,

we're asking you to prayerfully consider becoming part of the StarQuest mission or increasing your support. If you're already a supporter, thank you. Your generosity makes everything we do

possible. Please consider increasing your support to help us continue growing. If you haven't

joined us as a supporter yet, now is the perfect time.

Could you give $15 or even just $10 a month?

With your help, we can continue to produce over 50 hours of quality programming every month.

For businesses or individuals interested in leadership level giving, sponsorship opportunity

started $500 a month.
