Canticle
Magazine
Theme List and Perennial Needs for 2008
Thank you for your
interest in Canticle Magazine, the “voice” of Women of Grace®.
We are dedicated to helping all Catholic women to live out
their vocation more joyfully and faithfully – wives and mothers,
single women, and religious from all ethnic and cultural backgrounds,
representing the universal Church founded by Christ and led by the
Holy Father, the Bishop of Rome. We are eager to receive stories that
appeal to all these groups.
Canticle Magazine
is a bimonthly magazine. We welcome
freelance submissions, provided writers are familiar with both our
mission (www.womenofgrace.com)
and the publication itself. For that reason, we strongly urge those
seriously interested in writing to subscribe.
