PASTORAL RENEWAL LINKS

www.catholicireland.net - parishandfamily.ie was created and is maintained with the support of Catholic Ireland. CatholicIreland.net aims to service the whole Catholic community in Ireland through the provision of substantial and varied online resources. It is constantly being developed as a content-rich portal site. In other words, it will contain a rich array of texts, services, and interactive features in its own right and it will also direct visitors to other valuable resources. There is a special stress on material relating to Ireland. The patron of this venture is Archbishop Sean Brady.

www.liturgyplanning.com - provides complete liturgy support for schools, parishes and communities, for all major feasts and events including Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, as well as weekly community and staff prayer, family rituals and Liturgy of the Word for faith sharing communities. The site also offers meditation and rituals for children, youth and adults. A creative and practical site for anyone involved in liturgy, ritual and prayer.

www.pepparish.org - maintained by Tom Sweetser SJ and Peg Bishop, OFM, this website offers people the opportunity to receive a monthly newsletter which tries to bring out the best in Catholic parishes by sharing what is working or could work in the future.
