Catholic Internet Guide -- Readers' Choice 2010

The number of Catholic-centered websites grows day by day. Trying to keep focused on those that are truly useful is hard. There are particular "classics" and, of course, hidden treasures waiting, in cyberspace, to be discovered. But how to keep track of it all . . . . ?

During August, Our Sunday Visitor published the third edition of its annual Catholic Internet Guide -- Reader's Choice 2010 (www.osv.com). This simple and practical Guide is organized into six categories:

-- Catholic applications (a.k.a. apps) -- News and other resource websites
-- Christian spirituality webpages -- Opinion blogs and webpages
-- Community-building webpages -- Catholic bloggers' favorite websites

Some webpage recommendations are obvious keepers. Others are internet resources that largely remain hidden to the average, Catholic web-surfer.

The OSV Catholic Internet Guide 2010 can be found via the long weblink below. By the way, this webpage offers easy access to a printer-friendly version of the Guide for you, your ministry colleagues, staff members, parents, and others. Other interactive features include (a) a tool to e-mail the Guide to whomever, (b) a tool to post ('share') this Guide on Facebook or Twitter, etc., and (c) an opportunity to make comments to the OSV Guide staff and other users of the Guide.

I spent several hours digging into this practical resource guide recently, and learned quite a bit. If you try it, too, as the OSV editors say, 'May your web surfing deepen your faith!'
