Peace and Blessings,
We can really use your help by almsgiving to support this Quarterly Magazine Production and Catholic Press, so that by the abundance of God's goodness we can help the battle for the Church, by restoring Catholic Art and Press to help the faithful grow in the interior life united to the beauty of the Cross in the duties of family life and find shelter in the mantle of our Lady by the growing of virtue in society, so that we can see the events and signs of the times by the hands of God's providence and remain hopeful for the Victory of our Lady's Immaculate heart and Christ the King.
I am asking of a suggested donation of $10 for a issue of the magazine/journal, but give what you can for this is not a price. Anything from the minimum will seriously help our efforts, as the Franciscans would say while asking for alms for the Love of God and our Lady, I ask your charity for it has been difficult to ask for such help but the time has come in seeking and asking to reach souls to rescue them from the secular world and he has done for me.
God has helped humble me from such a life like the prodigal son and rescued me by the hands of our Lady of Guadalupe and Star of the Sea, which has showed me the value of family life and my family. So I'm trying to do what I can to support myself as an artist and family life to share the tools God has given me along the way for others to do so as well. By working on this magazine and asking for benefactors and sponsors, my hope is that we can help restore the Catholic Art in the secular culture and engage the world to restore the Kingship of Christ in its true and Traditional form with Truth and Beauty in the public sphere.

(Col 3:17)
The Church Christ establish is at battle with the world and many are leaving or mistaken about what to do in this Crisis that they are giving up hope. I could use your help this non profit to help in producing the magazine and projects to help inspire a prayerful and monastic heart, by showing the rich beauty and truth of what the Church has taught in it's Traditional Apostolic Faith and Life, along with help families and faithful remain in the shade of the Cross and Mantle of Our Lady and learn to live united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and build an interior life to give our lives in contrition to listen to God's Will. We aim to support the priesthood of the Society of St. Pius the X and the True Faith of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church by not compromising to modernism and show what the SSPX is doing to in the true missionary spirit. We ask your Alms that will help me print more magazines and fund the projects listed, but also help me, German Jimenez, to live and as an artist create a family business to support this apostolate work and hope that it grows.
It has been a dream to be able to create and work for a magazine with a classical aesthetic, create films, and have a place or cafe where people can come read old catholic books and the magazine while enjoying a cup of coffee with other faithful interested in the stories with faith, films, and photo journalism. All with the security of a haven against the modern world.
Also, with the hopes of supporting monastic life, by tithing our donations, we wanted to give our support in donations to the Monastic life and SSPX priests by helping the building of the Monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which roasts a great coffee called "Abbey Roast" and the missionary work of the society of St. Pius the X priest mission chapels.
So with this being said, Le Shade magazine is a way to tie together the faith with art and media to connect all things through the lens of the Providence of God, while sharing the news with the signs of the time with Hope in Christ and His Church: the Catholic Sheepfold, Apostolic, Roman.
We hope you can take part of this in helping us get the magazine going with the needed materials to restore the Catholic Press and True Catholic Culture. The hopes of making a place where Catholic faithful can find art and stories on the go, while enjoying their morning coffee and opening the magazine to reflect on God's hand in all things happening.
Then, people going into the world seeing the hope that Christ promised us while seeing events and scripture tied together with the beauty. One day we hope to have a wholesome place to one day gather by raising up to find a local shop to create the umbra Dei Press & Cafe as reference to the old Catholic missions of our time, where people would come and listen to the faith and enjoy community. God reward you all and Mary keep you in supporting this mission. We would like to create a printing and darkroom in-house to support the artistic needs of the magazine to share the Faith, Beauty and Truth.
