The
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
"The United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is an assembly of the hierarchy of the United
States and the U.S. Virgin Islands who jointly exercise certain pastoral
functions on behalf of the Christian faithful of the United States. The
purpose of the Conference is to promote the greater good which the Church
offers humankind, especially through forms and programs of the apostolate
fittingly adapted to the circumstances of time and place. This purpose is
drawn from the universal law of the Church and applies to the episcopal
conferences which are established all over the world for the same
purpose."

Catholic Exchange
"Specifically, Catholic
Exchange is 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."
Disciples Now
"Disciples Now is a web-based
ministry for youth focused on the traditions, life, and mission of the
Catholic faith community. As a informational resource, Disciples Now
provides opportunities to learn, to discuss, and to celebrate the

Ministry

McCormick Pavilion of the Theological College, across the street from the

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."
