 Welcome to e-Catholic/2000!
We extend to you our warm wishes for all of God's blessings in the third millennium. This website is maintained and provided by members of the Roman Catholic faithful, who are loyal to the Magisterium and the Holy See. Our dual mission is firstly to serve as a gathering place for the Catholic Faithful and Inquirers by providing a warm friendly atmosphere for socializing, faith sharing, prayer and religious discussion through the electronic media of the internet. And secondly, to serve as a major resource of information on the Catholic Faith.
We invite you to become a member of our Catholic Interactive Community. And visit our chat rooms and discussion forums. Please pray for the intentions on our prayer request board.

Before Jesus began His public ministry, He went into the desert to pray and fast for forty days. So too must we imitate Him and enter our own 'desert' and pray if we hope to minister to others.

SOCIAL JUSTICE
It is not enough for us to go to Church on Sunday and pray in order to be saved. We must live the Gospel Message in every aspect of our daily lives. The document: "Justice In The World" developed by a Synod of Bishops and signed by Pope Paul VI in November of 1971 states "action for justice is a requirement of our faith" and item #72 says: "action for justice must happen in the parish at all it's levels."
Please click here to visit our web page devoted to the Social Teachings of the Church (Social Justice).
Take this quiz and "Test Your Social Justice IQ"
JustFaith is a program for parishes interested in expanding their Parish Social Ministry. The program is an excellent tool for Catholics to answer the call of Pope John Paul II and our Bishops to create a "just society". More info.
