Yes, I really have picked a parish's web site for the site of the week. I know, you're probably thinking about how tiny and, well, "empty" parish web sites tend to be. Well - guess what ... if that's what you were thinking, you're wrong on this one!
This is Saint Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Picayune, Mississippi, and the people at St. Charles have a web site that rivals many "mega sites." This is not only one to go take a look at, it's one to bookmark and visit over and over. Don't miss their "Point Papers." There's a lot of really good spiritual food there!
This web site is a real find! Here is what it has to say about itself:
"The Center for Catholic Classics, Information, News, the Church Fathers, Church Documents, Traditional Prayers and Devotions, Douay-Rheims Bible, Catechism, the Mass, Shopping and more...."
Note the "and more ..." - they really mean it! Don't forget to use your bookmark!
This is not your typical apologetics site! It has a completely fresh look - and plenty of attitude! Take a look ... but don't stop at the cover ... dig deep! Don't forget to bookmark it! :)
Finding this site was a real balm on my heart. I was browsing through the "priest's webring" site when I ran across a name I've been saying in my prayers every day for many many years now - Fr. Ray Suriani. His mother, God bless her, used to come on many of our retreats, and we were very close. Fr. Ray was special, not just because he was my friend's son, but because he was a holy priest - with a gift for preaching that is truly uncommon. If you really want a treat, listen to Father's sermons online!!!
Another familiar name on this lovely web site is Rev. Mr. Jim Najim - who also attended at least one of our retreats as a teen ager. This young man is going to make a marvelous priest! I still have a booklet called "Our Hearts are Restless - a message to the Youth of the World" which he wrote when he was a teen ager, and it was extremely well done. If you don't check this site out, you're missing something very very special.
This is an award winning apologetics site! Here is what they have to say about themselves:
"We believe that the folks who come here have the intellectually ability to dig into a topic beyond a mere bumper sticker slogan in length. We strive to stay focused, to make points clearly, to challenge you to think while we share a smile with you along the way. Though it will take more than a few seconds on each topic, we hope you'll see that it is worth it. :-)"
This place is truly worth the time! Don't forget to bookmark the site!
This is a very nice interactive site! It includes a chat room, bulletin board, message board, reflections ... and lots more. Take a look! Don't forget to use your bookmark!
Apostles ... apostles ... and more apostles! Everything about the apostles. There is information here I haven't seen anyplace else. If there's ever anything you want to know about the apostles, this is the place to look. Don't forget to use your bookmark!
The Work of God is an award winning site which has received a triple A rating from Peter's Net for its faithfulness. Lots of stuff to see here - pages on apparitions, sermons, devotions ... and much more. Take a look! Don't forget to use your bookmark!
This is a very extensive pro-life site done by a member of the Knights of Columbus. Some of the articles were written tongue-in-cheek, and help us to see just how ridiculous the pro-abortion arguments really are. This site is a treasure trove of hidden gems!
MAXKOL tells us: "This Catholic web site explains the core message of Marian apparitions. The content centers around the book The Thunder of Justice, the video Prophecy and the New Times, and a Picture Gallery."
However, I have to add that this site is centered around far more than just a couple of books or videos. To see what I mean ... go take a look! Don't forget to bookmark it!
This is the official homepage of Virtual Rosary, the original multimedia Rosary program for Windows, Mac, and PalmOS! All software is completely free to download! The program is very nice, and very professional! Take a look!
This is a "mega-site" ... I guarantee that it will take you far more than an afternoon to browse everything they have in here. Warnings and facts behind the dangers of Renew, there are tons of articles, the entire searchable Code of Canon Law, etc. Way too much stuff to name it all. Don't forget to bookmark this one!
