Catholic Resources

Here is a list of some resources that you might find helpful:
- Active membership in the parish and regular worship
- Involvement in Adult Education opportunities offered at the parish and diocesan level
- Good periodicals that keep us up-to-date and well-educated

Since its beginning in 1964, readers have looked to National Catholic Reporter as a credible independent voice in Catholic journalism. NCR is accountable to an accomplished lay board of directors rather than a bishop or head of a religious order. Initially, NCR’s audience was mostly national. NCR has now developed a global online audience, with readers in virtually every country on the planet.
Because of its independent status, NCR goes where other Catholic news sources cannot. In its early days, NCR reported on the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, including the secret findings and the dissenting opinions of Pope John XXIII’s/Pope Paul VI’s commission on birth control. We were the first, and for many years the only, publication to report the clergy sex abuse crisis and episcopal cover-up. We were the first Catholic publication to report extensively on the environment. A subscription is $52.95/year (26 issues).
