Faith Formation Web Resources

Check out these interesting and informative websites to learn more about the Catholic Church, our faith, and what is going on in the world.

  • Crux  was recently launched by the Boston Globe and features the work of John Allen (formerly Vatican correspondent for NCR). They are an English language site that seeks to cover world-wide Catholicism.
  • National Catholic Reporter is a more established Catholic weekly paper, run by lay Catholics and focusing on the Church in the U.S.
  • Catholic News Service is produced by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and covers the worldwide Church, especially the papacy.
