"The Church is a network woven together by Eucharistic communion, where unity is based not on 'likes', but on the truth, on the 'Amen', by which each one clings to the Body of Christ, and welcomes others. ...If a family uses the Net to be more connected, to then meet at table and look into each other’s eyes, then it is a resource. If a Church community coordinates its activity through the network, and then celebrates the Eucharist together, then it is a resource" -- Pope Francis (Vatican News)

  • information on parish life, church events and activities;
  • resources for faith formation, prayer and worship as a community of believers within the Catholic Church;
  • messages that provide pause for reflection, give hope and encouragement, invite respectful discussion, and foster a closer encounter with Our Lord Jesus; and
  • ways in which we may come together to proclaim the Good News, and to love and serve God and our neighbour.
