Deadline is tomorrow for Lenten dinner ad space
It may be Advent, but the deadline is here to schedule advertising for your Lenten dinners. Faith magazine’s February 2021 edition will publish a listing of entities that purchased space to advertise their Lenten meals. Space must be reserved by tomorrow, Dec. 15. The listing also will be made available online and through social media. Remember, Ash Wednesday is Feb. 17. To advertise parish or school Lenten dinners in the “Lenten Offerings” feature in Faith, contact Advertising Manager Brenda Williams at 814-824-1161 or 1-800-374-3723, ext. 161, or email her at bwilliams@ErieRCD.org. Please provide the date(s), time, place and cost for the dinner and, if needed, a phone number for questions. The cost is $45 per listing.
