Our Updated Links Page.

Welcome to our expanded and updated links page. There are many Catholic resources out there in Cyberspace and we thought we ought to share some of these with you. If you know of a good website that should be included – please e-mail us. The majority of the sites listed below contain a myriad of links to other Catholic resources on the Internet. Thank you.

The Vatican embraced the Internet some time ago and there is now even a proposed Patron Saint of Internet users – St. Isidore of Seville. The Holy See’s website can be found on – and no, you do not have to learn Latin or Italian to visit it:

Mention a monk or a nun and the image of a figure in a habit locked away from the outside world may come to mind. Today’s religious is just as likely to be as computer literate as the lay person and many orders now boast their own websites:

Including our own order of Presentation Sisters:
