Cleveland
Catholic Forum

clergy and laity in our city, whose "main objective is to be
a catalyst in promoting healthy Catholic teaching and getting the
People of God fired up for their faith, while attracting those who
may have been away from the Church." As a Forum, the main vehicle
will be a series of lectures and presentations, as well as creative
activities that will engage people to think/re-think about their
Faith life and how it applies to everyday living.

Exchange
Catholic Exchange is a non-profit charity endeavoring “to
evangelize the world via the Internet with the Good News of Jesus
Christ in the Catholic Church in obedience to Pope John Paul II's
call for a ‘Springtime of World Evangelization.’ This
is in response to the need for greater catechesis and revival of
the lay faithful in a time when materialism and relativism are marginalizing
Biblical principles as the basis on which people make moral choices.”
This is a very well designed site that is easy and fun to use. The
columnists are some of the Church’s most well respected authors.
The is a wide variety of resources makes this site well worth a
visit.

At
The Water's Edge
It is Christ that invites us to the silence. We receive Jesus’
silence into our hearts when first we speak from our heart the word
of faith. We work out our walk of salvation in silence and hope.
What are you hoping for today as you read this? Some silence? Some
faith? Some direction? Some healing? The ultimate search for self
is finding Jesus in our silence, which then awakens Christ in the
hearts of those who hear us. To let them wonder and begin to listen
for themselves – to find Jesus. This is our witness. This
is the Gospel message.This is what the Waters Edge Healing Ministry
is all about. Offering to your diocese or parish, a time of peace
and silence in a world of darkness, excessive internal noise and
despair; through parish missions, retreats, days of recollection/prayer
and Christ Our Light healing services. “Bringing the healing
Light of Christ to a world in darkness and despair.” Come
to Deacon Frank’s site: www.atwe.org.

Pope
John Paul II Cultural Center
Located in Washington DC, perhaps the best way to visualize the
Center's mission is as a safe haven for those who are journeying
on the road to Emmaus. As people come together here, they will,
at some point, begin to share their faith. It is through learning
about and facing the challenges of faith and also sharing with others
along our journey of faith that we come to discover the very presence
of God and understand our universal call to holiness as followers
of Christ. It is the hope of the Center that it can provide the
atmosphere and the resources needed for those who visit to discover
their faith or to just reflect on their journey to Emmaus. And although
each visitor's stay may be short, the Center invites us to put our
faith into action. It is this vision that makes the Center a place
where people can discover the Church's past, participate in its
present, and most importantly join in building its Third Millennium.
