Holy Family Apostolate has a website!

The Holy Family Apostolate is a new association, based near Edinburgh, Scotland, for Roman Catholic families. Their field of apostolate is "firstly ourselves as individuals, our family members, form whom we have to answer directly to God, and lastly other families, as good families will necessarily produce a better society".

Their new website can be found at holyfamilyapostolate.wordpress.com

"Almighty Answers" blog

by Fr Tim Finigan

A student at the University of Edinburgh tells me of the Catholic chaplaincy there, which is run by the Dominicans. The students are fortunate to have five friars dedicated to their our spiritual care.

Last year they started up a blog called 'Almighty Answers' to encourage ordinary students (as well as anyone else who comes across the blog) to ask questions about the Faith or any other aspect of the Church. These questions are then responded to, either by one of the priests, or by a student, depending on the nature of the question.

The blog was set up and run last term during the Chaplaincy's 'Mission Week' and it has now been restarted. They welcome questions and comments...

You may also 'corner a cleric' by emailing almighty.answers at gmail dot com.

Catholic Church launches new website

from the Bishops Conference of Scotland

Being Catholic.org is a new website which is designed to promote Catholic adult education in Scotland. It is provided as a free resource by the Bishops’ Conference of Scotland.

There are three main sections on the site: Praying our Faith, Learning our Faith and Sharing our Faith. These are intended to help users to reflect, pray and learn and they provide:

• scripture readings from the daily Mass [Ordinary Form];
• a 3 minute on-line retreat;
• a thought for the day which can be download to MP3 players;
• blogs and podcasts.
  

There are links to the Vatican Radio and the Vatican YouTube websites, as well as to various Scottish Catholic agencies, helping users to keep up-to-date with the latest news and views in the Catholic Church.

The site also provides information on the many courses and events provided in Scotland to help Catholic adults to grow in their faith.

All this information is just a simple click away. www.BeingCatholic.org

[Please pray for Being Catholic's success, and also think of ways to help.]
