Links of Interest

  Be warned!

These links are an   Eclectic group of links. Many are handy as indexes

of documents and Roman Catholic Sites. Others are important sites in their own right. 

Others are here just for the sheer fun of it!
 

Vatican Website

No Catholic page can be without this one. A great deal of development and thought has gone into this website. The Vatican library, under its previous prefect, Dominican Fr. Leonard Boyle, started making available copies of all public documents in the Vatican Library. Even in the electronic world this is an undertaking which will span decades. Images of significant works in the Vatican Museums are also being made available.

The Order of Preachers (Dominicans)

Founded by Saint Dominic Guzman in the 13th century. The Order's first purpose is to bring the Gospel to places and peoples hostile to the Church. The mission of the Order has thus always included work in academic institutions and in situations of militant opposition to Christianity. Dominican priests, brothers, nuns, sisters and laity are to be found in all walks of life, from scholars to artists and musicians (covering every genre from chant to rock) preaching not only by words but also in every endevour of human culture. These pages give further insight into the diversity of the Order and its mottoes of Veritas (Truth) and Praedicare, Laudare, Benedicere (Preach, Praise, Bless).
