Hello Catholic Answers forum members,

My father and mother are life-long Catholics. They’ve had at one time a very active tract ministry when they were younger, but are now retired and in their seventies. Their printed tract supply is still well into the thousands, but due to their age, they don’t have an opportunity to distribute them as easily as when they were younger.

The tracts themselves range from issues related to marriage, money, pro-life and many more topics. Each one of these was written by my father and mother, and I’d love to help pass on their legacy to someone who will carry the torch.

I don’t want to throw all their tracts into the garbage if there are Catholics who would be happy to take them off their hands for free, and then distribute them among their own communities.

I’ve gone through the effort to scan all of my parents tracts into jpg files which can be viewed here:

Each one of the tracts has a matching front and back, as they are bi-fold or tri-fold.

The PO Box listed on the tracts is now defunct, but you can write over it with “catholic.com” or some other way to reach out to people. The whole point is to get them out of the garage and into the hands of those people in need.

The tracts are located in Atascadero, California, right off the US-101 freeway if you’re passing through the area and would like to pick up some, or all of them. There’s easily 5,000+ in several large boxes. If you’d like an exact count on a particular tract, I can ask my father to count them.

If you really liked the tracts but aren’t able pick them up in person, please private message me here on Catholic Answers Forum and for a small Paypal charge to cover shipping, they can be mailed out anywhere in the US via Media Mail. Also, please let your friends know, especially if they are in California and can pick them up locally, we’d love to give them away to those who can actually make good use of them!

Thank you in advance for all your help in passing on the good news!

(Forum moderators, if there’s a better section for this, please move it!) Thank you! 😃
 
👍 :eek: Those tracts look mighty impressive.

Just a side comment though, and I don’t mean to demean any of the work your parents did, but the grammar and spelling in the Spanish tracts is rather mediocre. Remember that if anyone orders the Spanish tracts to distribute to Spanish speakers.
 
@Church Millitant, please check your PM’s, just responded.
@Micosil, thanks for the heads up!
 
Bump, just shipped out several hundred of these. Still have lots more for those in need! 🙂
 
They are great folks, no doubt!

Still have several thousand tracts left for anyone who needs them!
 
Bump, still have more tracts if anyone else needs them!
 
Still have plenty more tracts, please touch base with me to acquire them! 🙂
 
One more bump! Anyone coming through the Central Coast of California, we still have plenty of tracts to donate! 😃
 
Have you considered contacting your diocesan director of evangelization and prison ministry? They almost always need all the materials they can get.

You might also contact St. Paul Street Evangelization because they use/need a lot of good Catholic tracts.
 
In one of the tracts I read this:
Years ago a young man handed me a tract similar to this one you are now reading. It was then the Holy Spirit convinced me of my sinful life. As I read it, that very evening I cried out to the Lord and asked Him to change my life. Yes, I believed in God before as all my life I have been a Catholic, but at that moment I was “born again spiritually.” (John 3:3)
I have read a few tracts and they are really quite well written for Catholics.

What I like about them is that they are filled with Scripture passages.
 
Thank you for all the help Militant! I was able to contact the Street Evan. team and they are going to take about 20,000 tracts, the last of the supply. For anyone who liked the tracts, my parents have given full permission to reprint any of them if you like or take the text and incorporate it into your own materials. God bless!
