If you do proceed with the purchase using cash, be sure to obtain an appropriate receipt.

Top | Question Summary

Q. If I am buying (or selling) an item, should I provide my home or work address?

A. Wherever possible, we recommend not providing any address. If you must provide an address, you should independently research the other party before providing them with this (or any other personal) information. To help protect your personal information, we recommend using a P.O. Box rather than a street address. Even so, providing of any address (even a P.O. Box) involves risk and you may receive unwanted communications and/or be subject to other unwanted items (including personal visits, anti-Catholic literature, harassment, encounters with those who have an intent to harm or deceive, etc.), and/or others may use your information in ways unsuitable/harmful to you. If you choose to provide a home or work address, the decision of which one to provide is up to you. Before you do so, you should carefully consider whether any unwanted communications or other items are likely to be more harmful at home or at work. Remember that participation in any transactions / activities (including offering / requesting / buying / selling / sending / receiving / providing / contacts / correspondence / payments / shipping / transfers / events / etc.) may be dangerous. Proceed at your own risk. If you do not want to - or cannot afford to - take such risks, you should not participate.

Top | Question Summary

Q. How do I know that the other party will do what they are supposed to do?

A. Unfortunately, you may never be sure that the other party will live up to their responsibilities. For best results, you should take appropriate advance precautions to help ensure that the other party lives up to their responsibilities (e.g. researching the buying/selling party, contacting them by phone, confirming their contact information, etc.). Remember that all transactions / activities (including offering / requesting / buying / selling / sending / receiving / providing / contacts / correspondence / payments / shipping / transfers / events / etc.), involve risk. If you can't afford to or don't want to take such risks, you should not participate. Should you experience problems, you may attempt to work them out with the other party. As applicable, you may notify law enforcement or seek other legal remedies. Remember that use of this site is at your own risk. We are not a party to your transactions / activities and we do not mediate disputes. You are solely responsible for all consequences of your transactions / activities.

Top | Question Summary

Q. Should I require advance payment or allow buyers to pay after receipt of the goods or services?

A. The terms of all transfers are up to the parties involved and are governed by applicable laws. You should carefully consider all aspects of your transfer before engaging in any transaction. For example, if you allow the other party to pay after receiving goods or services, what will happen if they never pay? If you want advance payment, why should the other person trust you enough to send you funds in advance? You should reflect on these and other issues before participating in any transfers. Remember that all participation is at your own risk.

Top | Question Summary

Q. If I allow a buyer to pay after the receipt of goods or services, how can I be sure I will be paid?

It is quite possible that you may never be paid for your products or services. That's one reason why we recommend extra caution and prudence with regard to commercial sections. Remember that we cannot guarantee that you will receive any payment or guarantee anything else about any transaction / activity (including offering / requesting / buying / selling / sending / receiving / providing / contacts / correspondence / payments / shipping / transfers / events / etc.) and we do not mediate disputes. Proceed at your own risk.

Top | Question Summary

Q. If I pay before receiving goods/services/etc., how can I be sure I will ever receive them (or that they will be as described)?

A. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that you will receive the goods or services (or that they will be as described). As indicated, commercial activities involve risks. It is quite possible that you may pay in advance for items and never receive them (or a refund) or that you may receive them but they may not be as described. That's one reason why we recommend extra caution and prudence with regard to commercial transactions. Remember that we cannot guarantee that you will receive any item, or that items received will be as described, nor can we guarantee anything else about any transaction / activity (including offering / requesting / buying / selling / sending / receiving / providing / contacts / correspondence / payments / shipping / transfers / events / etc.) and we do not mediate disputes. Proceed at your own risk.

Top | Question Summary

Q. I received the other party's payment in advance. Should I send the item out (or perform the service) immediately?

A. All transfers involve risk and the terms of all transfers are up to the parties involved (and are governed by applicable laws). Note that it may be wise (as permitted by law and agreed to by both parties) to wait for a check/money order to clear before sending items/performing services.

Top | Question Summary

Q. Why do you allow questionable advertisers to advertise? Why might you allow ads for questionable products / services / etc.?

A. Although we would prefer not to allow questionable advertisers to advertise or ads to appear for questionable products / services / etc., it is not possible for us to limit this site to worthy advertisers / products / services / etc. Not only is it impossible for us to evaluate advertisers / products / services / etc., the law may not allow us to limit our public advertising to certain advertisers / products / services / etc. Even "worthy advertisers" (and worthy products and services) are not perfect and any organization is subject to change over time. And since our main focus is the Catholic content of this site, not evaluating advertisers or products / services / etc., we must limit ourselves to being satisfied that the actual content of ads themselves is not offensive (which is our goal, but not a guarantee). Furthermore, note that since paid third party advertisements should appear only in commercial areas of this site, they should not interfere with the Catholic content of this site. Also, note that we recommend that users are research products / services / advertisers / organizations / groups / institutions / schools / religious orders / charities / businesses / providers / employers / individuals / websites / publications / messages / activities / events / offers / offerers / requests / requestors / sellers / buyers / manufacturers / distributors / authors / publishers / submitters / items / etc. independently before participation and to use great caution when participating in any transaction / activity (including offering / requesting / buying / selling / sending / receiving / providing / contacts / correspondence / payments / shipping / transfers / events / etc.). Remember that we cannot guarantee accuracy of any information, Catholicity of any item / individual / organization / etc., or make any other guarantee(s) regarding any item(s) appearing in commercial sections. Finally, note that inclusion of products / services / ads / advertisers / organizations / groups / institutions / schools / religious orders / charities / businesses / providers / employers / individuals / websites / publications / messages / information / instructions / opinions / activities / events / offers / offerers / requests / requestors / sellers / buyers / manufacturers / distributors / authors / publishers / submitters / items / etc. does not imply our endorsement.

Top | Question Summary

Q. If I conduct advance research, use a P.O. Box and a special e-mail account, and I don't give away any personal information, am I fully protected from the dangers which may occur with regard to transactions (including offering/requesting, buying/selling, transfers, sending/receiving, payments, shipping, contacts / correspondence, etc.)?

A. Unfortunately, no. While these are important steps to take to minimize risks, there is no guarantee that all risks will be eliminated. Unfortunately, no steps you take, no matter how diligent, can protect you from all risks related to transactions. Remember that you agree to assume all risks, whether foreseen or not, related to all transactions arising from the use of this site (or other materials) [including contacts / correspondence (with and from others), offering, requesting, buying, selling, transfers, sending, receiving, payments, shipping, etc.], without limit, and that you agree to hold us harmless for all consequences - direct or indirect - which may occur as a result of use of this site (or other materials), regardless of their nature.

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics

Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)

Click for more information & to purchase

"Suitable For Children Or Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"

+ + +

As many faithful Catholics already know, the majestic Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church – promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious treasure that is the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"

If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches, crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee, quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs, circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations, phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender, inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
