NOEL PAUL STOOKEY ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF THE SAINT BEN AUDIOBOOK
Chairman of The Catch Ministry’s 2026 Annual Fall “Gotta Get the News Out” Campaign announces a special complimentary audiobook gift for campaign contributors.
October 23, 2026 — Noel Paul Stookey, legendary singer-songwriter of Peter, Paul and Mary and Chairman of The Catch Ministry’s 2026 Annual Fall Campaign, “Gotta Get the News Out,” is delighted to announce the release of the audiobook edition of Saint Ben, the beloved novel by author, musician, and Catch Ministry pastor John Fischer.
Featuring acclaimed voice actor Bob Souer, the new audiobook brings to life an unforgettable story of friendship, faith, courage, and the extraordinary difference one ordinary life can make.
Stookey, an enthusiastic admirer of the novel, has described his experience of reading Saint Ben in deeply personal terms:
“Absolutely loved Saint Ben … was moved to tears several times … the honoring of each person’s soul-searching-for-integrity [is] brilliant.”
Now, as Campaign Chairman, Stookey is inviting the entire Catch community to share in the excitement surrounding the audiobook’s release.
A Special Announcement from Campaign Chairman Noel Paul Stookey
“I’ve had the pleasure of reading Saint Ben, and I can tell you it is a story that stays with you long after you’ve turned the final page.
“Now, with Bob Souer bringing John’s unforgettable characters to life, an entirely new audience will have the opportunity to experience this remarkable friendship.
“I’m especially pleased to announce that a complimentary download of the newly released Saint Ben audiobook will be our gift of appreciation exclusively to those who contribute toward the success of The Catch Ministry’s 2026 Annual Fall Campaign, ‘Gotta Get the News Out.’
“This campaign is about something much bigger than reaching a financial goal. It is about developing disciples and carrying the Gospel of Welcome — Grace Turned Outward — to everyone, everywhere.
“And that is news worth getting out!”
— Noel Paul Stookey, Chairman, 2026 Annual Fall Campaign
The Campaign Is 60% of the Way to Its Goal!
The Catch Ministry is pleased to announce that its Annual Fall Campaign has reached 60% of its $20,000 goal, with $12,000 committed and just $8,000 remaining.
Under Stookey’s chairmanship, the campaign celebrates the ministry’s purpose of developing disciples who carry the good news into everyday relationships across generations, communities, and countries.
The ministry is now inviting every member of the Catch community to participate in bringing the campaign across the finish line. Every contribution matters. Every person matters. And every member of this community has a place in the story.
Why “Gotta Get the News Out”?
In Saint Ben, a young boy named Ben possesses an extraordinary determination to discover the truth and share it, regardless of the obstacles. His unforgettable words to his friend Jonathan capture the spirit of the campaign:
“It’s 3:00. Gotta get the news out.”
For The Catch Ministry, those words have become more than a memorable line from a novel.
They have become a call to action. The good news was never meant to be kept to ourselves. It was meant to be shared, one person, one relationship, and one life at a time.
An Invitation to the Catch Community
The Catch Ministry invites its entire community to join Noel Paul Stookey in celebrating the release of the Saint Ben audiobook and participating in the final stretch of the 2026 Annual Fall Campaign.
Those who contribute toward the success of “Gotta Get the News Out” will receive a complimentary download of the newly released Saint Ben audiobook, narrated by Bob Souer, as the ministry’s gift of appreciation.
Together, we can finish what we have started.
Together, we can introduce the Gospel of Welcome — Grace Turned Outward — to everyone, everywhere.
The news is good. The story is unforgettable. And the time to get the news out is NOW!
