Links of Interest
Be warned!
These links are an
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
of it!
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 parishes of Amherst fall within the Diocese of Halifax. Information about the structure and work of the diocese and message from the Archbishop. Other parishes of the diocese which are online are also listed here.

Guide to Early Church Documents
This hypertext document contains pointers to Internet-accessible files relating to the early church, including canonical documents, creeds, the writings of the Apostolic Fathers and other historical texts relevant to church history.
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).
Also excellent for its links. Among its many features are links displaying photographs of the Holy Land, other places of Catholic interest and great works of art.
Is also a Catholic ISP for the USA and Canada. Their pages contain a variety of material and links. This site is graphics and Java intense in some places.
