READ THE BIBLE AND CATHECISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURH IN 1 YEAR???!!!!!!

Hey guys and gals.......look at the guide that I found online to do the above. It looks like a heck of a lotta work but like it sezs, many of us don't really know our faith so with this we can't really say....'But I don't know where to start........'

I greatly encourage you to look through it and see if you are willing to make that personal commitment. However let's discuss this also during our SS Meeting to see if we would like to adopt this as part of our activities.

SCOTT HANH CONVERSION STORY!!!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!! What a story and the best part is ..........it isn't a story its a true to life TESTIMONIAL!!!! You know what's ironic, that a former Protestant minister has such enthusiasm for the Catholic faith while many of us born Catholics are very lukewarm or jaded about it. However, putting the negative aside let us instead be inspired by this testimonial to look deeper into our own faith and focus on the wonders and gifts that God has provided for us in the Catholic Church..................you'll find the story here on th link below:-

May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINDING A CATHOLIC BIBLE ONLINE???

In this day and age of communication we often find ourselves looking for like a ton of stuff online and I believe that applies to the Bible as well.............here's some of the links that may provide useful for those who feel the same way,

This website ha actually many versions of the Bible but finding this particular Catholic version required a little bit of digging : ) , however this version is a little bit difficult to read because it is a direct translation from the Latin Vulgate so it's got a lot of thee's and thou's............

The version found here is much easier to read as this is translated into our everyday english language.

Here's an interesting article on the Bible that you all might find interesting........I didn't know that there was so much to consider when buying a Bible..............it's really quite a blessing in disguise cos when I lost my laptop together with the bag that had my Bible in it.........I decided to do a litte bit of reading and found out so much more about the Bible..........I hope to share this with all of you..........(you don't have to lose a laptop to be motivated to find out more about the Bible ; ) )

USEFUL CATHOLIC WEBSITES!!!!!!!!

Hi all, this is Raymond here................anyways here's a list of some very useful and informative websites related to our faith.......I found them very useful in providing explanations to our faith, so I hope that you will too. Remember that our faith is just that.........OUR FAITH..............if WE do not make the effort to find out more then WHO will. Don't expect God to knock you on the head to give you a divine revelation on all matters of our faith......sorry to say it won't work that way..........................anyways just to share with you the more I find out the more I learn to appreciate the wonder and beauty of our faith................also the more I find out the more I realise what it means to follow Christ and trust me it ain't easy folks.............but that's exactly the point...............Christ never said it was easy, He only promised that he would be there to provide us with the strength and courage to face whatever trials and tribulation we may encounter and that would be enough as our reward is in heaven not on this earth!!!! So my advice is feel free to look up these website and if you need any help or more information you can contact me.....for those who are new or just stumbled onto this blog, A GREAT BIG WELCOME and for those old fellas, welcome home...................it's great to have ya back!!!!!
