NBCC Web Recommended Web Site Resources
The
National Black Catholic Congress (NBCC) would like to share web site
resources to assist you in your ministry or in your personal life.
Abstinence for Singles
The challenges of sexual intercourse that
many youth face today are more difficult than those of the baby-boomers,
and previous generations through negative outside influences. In order
to communicate with youth effectively, Mr. Washington presents his
abstinence message on a level that young people understand. To learn
more about speaker Darren Washington and his message on abstinence for
singles visit his web site:

Catholic News Service
The mission of Catholic News Service is the
mission of the Church itself -- to spread the Gospel through
contemporary means of communication. Our mission is to perform this task
by reporting the news which affects Catholics in their everyday lives.
Some of that news is good and some is bad, but it is what readers need
to know in order to work for salvation. They need to know that there are
saints in the making in the Church today and they need to know that
there are sinners too. Our mission is to report fully, fairly and freely
about the involvement of the Church in the world today. For more
information visit:

Hope after Abortion
For over 16 years, women and
men have been coming to Project Rachel, the post-abortion ministry of
the Catholic Church, for help in healing their emotional and spiritual
wounds. The priests and counselors in the Project Rachel network
understand the pain and loss that follow abortion. They have led
thousands of grieving women and men from despair to hope and peace.
Project Rachel has trained priests and professional counselors who can
help you to heal spiritually and emotionally, no matter what faith
tradition is yours. For more information visit:
www.hopeafterabortion.com
New Advent
New Advent serves as a Catholic
Encyclopedia. It proposes to give its readers full and authoritative
information on the entire cycle of Catholic interests, action and
doctrine. What the Church teaches and has taught; what she has done and
is still doing for the highest welfare of mankind; her methods, past and
present; her struggles, her triumphs, and the achievements of her
members, not only for her own immediate benefit, but for the broadening
and deepening of all true science, literature and art -- all come within
the scope of the Catholic Encyclopedia. You may also wish to use Bible
Gateway (not a catholic bible resource) which functions like a
concordance or index and cross reference it with New Advent. The New
American Bible is used by the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops (USCCB). For information visit:
www.newadvent.com and
www.biblegateway.com.
The National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry
