LPi Celebrates 40 Years
As the new calendar year begins, LPi embarks on its 40th year of connecting communities through print and online technologies. Since 1972, we have taken pride in our ability to meet our customers' needs with the most up-to-date resources available.
Times sure have changed! In 1972, LPi opened with one office and a few employees working with typewritten bulletins. Today, we have six offices across the country with over four hundred employees working hard to connect you to your community through state-of-the-art technology.
As we celebrate 40 years, we would like to say “Thank You!” to our customers, as you are the reason for our success over these past four decades. Thank you for your loyalty and repeat patronage of our product and services. We look forward to serving you in the next 40 years.
New Resources from Social Security, NCOA, USCCB
Be sure to check out the new monthly briefs from the National Council on Aging, and new Q&As from the Social Security Administration—the latest ones show up in a Sunday Search, or just search for Media Type "Senior Center."
In addition to resources from the USCCB for the Church in Latin America Collection (this weekend), we now have files available for the Collection for the Church in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as for the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa. Each collection can be found by searching for the name, italicized above.
Via Lucis series
A new clip art series has been added to the Art & Media Portal collection—the Via Lucis series. The Via Lucis ("Way of Light") is a counterpart to the Via Crucis ("Way of the Cross"), and is also known as the Stations of the Resurrection. The image at right is the first in the series, but you can find all 14 stations on Portal by searching for "Via Lucis."
