June 10,
2007: Feast of Corpus Christi
The web site
was graphically modified to reflect our new domain
AskACatholic.com
"look and feel" while retaining the CPATS
aspect of the site. We
purposely put the " * "
above the word Catholic, to make it clear that
we are NOT an official Catholic web site of the
Archdiocese of Boston; despite Cardinal O'Malley's
kind words of encouragement.

Credits:
The following people were very helpful in assisting
me with design ideas, programming help and prayer in
the previous versions of the CPATS web site:
- John Keck, and his fine web
site. For v3.0 of the site. Michael
Blezien, for periodic assistance with Perl programming.Richard
Chonak for new ideas, graphics and periodic programming
assistance.
- I also have to thank some
of my very close friends: John DiMascio, John Griffin,
Eric Ewanco, and Perry Turchi who always strive
to encourage my efforts AND at the same time are
a means of obtaining other opinions by which these
upgrades are improved to meet web visitors needs.
