Need stamps? There is a new one Catholics should buy! From LifeNews:
The pro-life Catholic group that organized the petition in favor of the Postal Service issuing a stamp honoring pro-life luminary Mother Teresa is thankful to see the stamp issued. Meanwhile, those gathered for a special service in Washington, D.C., remembered her pro-life outreach.
Brian Burch, the president of Catholic Vote Civic Action organized a petition in favor of the stamp that gathered signatures from 146,000 people who wanted the Post Office to issue the stamp.
“We thank the United States Postal Service for honoring the 100th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s birth with this beautiful stamp. Our petition in support of the stamp struck a chord because Mother Teresa continues to serve as an inspiration for people today,” said Burch.
He told LifeNews.com his group "is now calling on Americans to honor the life of this saintly and heroic woman by purchasing Mother Teresa stamps this week."
The stamp was unveiled on Sunday at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception at a special service and they go on sale today.
“I'm glad that the Postal Service could make an exception for their ‘Never on Sunday’ rule by issuing this stamp 13 years to the day since Mother Teresa’s death on September 5, 1997,” said Burch. “The Postal Service also understands that having the ceremony here at this beautiful Basilica doesn't mean that the United States Government is suddenly Roman Catholic.”
