What some other visitors have told us in emails about their visit...

As I’m sure you’ve been told by many others: this is a great website, I thank you for contributing your time and talents. 17 Nov 04

Hi. I found your website from a friends site - Sacred Heart Organization Israel. It is so informative. And I like the comments in regard to those not faithful to the Church. I am guessing that we are talking about those who oppose the Vatican II. I personally have had runnings with some and was actually surprised by statements that the Seat of St Peter's has been empty since Pope Pius. To be honest these are making such anoise world wide that I have been sorrowfully left with the impression that it sets a divide in Our Church, almost like a Reformation within the Reformation under the banner of Catholicism. There are so many cradle Catholics that have been confused by this divide and on your website you give consolation and bury the confusion. For this I am very grateful. God Bless. 11 Nov 04

I teach beginning Catholic Education to middle schoolers in Staunton, Virginia. Your website is a blessing for me. I especially like the images page. Thank you for taking the time to post all those pictures and information. It is such a wonderful resource. 26 Oct 04

Greetings from San Diego -- My son is in first grade at Good Shepherd Catholic School... we are working on a saint project. Thank you for the wonderful web site your parish put together, and for the guidance toward a biography of St. Charles. 20 Oct 04

I have been using the CCC paragraphs section on your website for a long time. I am a director of Religious Education in Port Chester, NY and also coordinator of our RCIA program. Your site is a tremendous help with my work. 20 Oct 04

Thank you for posting the Catechism of the Catholic Church on your website. It is a very useful tool. 18 Oct 04

Dear Friends in Christ, Thank you so much for your wonderful website and bible study material. It's been a great asset to our adult bible study. We've using it for several years... Thanks! A friend in Christ. 3 Oct 04

This is a very informative and helpful website. I am certain that much work went into the initial creation and continues in the updating of this site. I am definitely adding this website to "My Favorites." Keep up the great work! Vivat Jesus! 10 Sep 04

Hello! I am a Catholic school teacher... in Fostoria, OH. I was looking for a website to show my students to teach them about the Catechism and I plan on using your website for that. I really like the search tool your site provides. Thank you for providing this service for me and many others! God's peace be with you! (8th grade religion teacher) 9 Sep 04

Hello! I was searching for a novena to St. Anthony of Padua for a niece of mine and came across your site. I'd like to know where in MS you are located. Maybe we could come for a visit sometime. Your website is most informative and one I will pass on to family and friends as a reference. Blessings to you and all your ministries!! 30 Aug 04

Your website is great and an exellant resource. I help with a small bible reading group here in... Australia and arrived at your site for some referance material. It is a great help to me. Thank you very much. 30 Aug 04

Hello to Father Snyder, and all my Catholic brothers and sisters at SCB! I stumbled across your website and am very impressed with the apologetic materials there, and with the other information on your parish. I note that you have perpetual adoration… figures! Eucharistic adoration and a fiery love for Christ and His Church do seem to go hand in hand. Keep fighting the good fight! 15 Aug 04

Hello, I just had to send you an email saying I really love your website. You have done a fabulous job. It's eye-catching and easy to maneuver through it. You have so many details about the church, and the pictures are good quality. I am the webmaster at the parish where I work, and I'm just a beginner who uses CoffeeCup. I can't imagine putting in all the work you must have for your site. 6 Aug 04

I'm coming back to the Church and found your website through a priest friend of mine whose parish had a link to it. Excellent work. 5 Aug 04

dear fr michael, what a beautiful church you have and so many goings on.---perpetual adoration and regular bible study, you are very blessed.--i often come to your site and it is always refreshing.---if i ever get near to your neck of the woods, i will be certainly paying you a visit.----may Our Lord bless you all, in Jesus name.----------your brother in Christ. 31 Jul 04

Dear Father Michael, I just came upon your website via catholicity.com. I commend you for a great website, but even more importantly, I am impressed with the apparent vitality of your parish. I was also glad to see all the times you hear confessions. I teach religion at [a] Catholic High School in... Missouri and I will be having the students use your website for access to the catechism. You have it laid out well and it will be a good reference tool. Thanks for your ministry to God's people. 30 Jul 04

Dear [St. Charles Parish]... I'm out in Nebraska, and happened to come upon the St. Charles Borromeo website while I was "surfing the web" this morning. It certainly is a beautiful church, and I took the "guided tour" which has really been put together well. You've done a great job on that, and I was thinking that my parish should do something like it when the church renovations have been finished (though we don't know yet when they will even begin!)... Once again, thank you for the beautiful tour of your church. May God bless you and Mary keep you as you strive to do His will. 30 Jul 04

Hello. Working at Walt Disney World (EPCOT) for many years in close proximity with kids from all over the US and several foreign counties we often find ourselves backstage in spirited conversations on many cultural and (occasionally) religious subjects. Being Irish/American-Catholic, and a little older than the average, I find myself often turned to for my 'take'. With a healthy background in law, history and 'politics' from my college days I endeavor to take the documentory 'higher' ground and mostly espouse the historical 'theories' reminding my fellows that all is open to interpretation, and occasionally throw in verifiable facts and then try to direct them to the appropriate cite for the documentation. That said, I was on the fringes of someone's diatribe regarding the cruelties of the Catholic church during the Spanish Inquisition. Feeling a bit defensive I just had to jump in with reminding them it was Spanish, with emphasis on the 'Spanish'! Not to belabor the point, I was looking for a concise snippet, on-line, to illustrate the difference between the sad Spanish national embarrassment from the late 15th century and compare it to the decidedly more benign Roman Catholic ethic covering over 300 years (not to mention the Papal Inquisition) and was pleased to find Father Noone's site from 1999. It simply 'cuts to the chase'. I would have expected it from a university or some historical organization. What a pleasant surprise. It reminds me of Thomas Cahill's book, How The Irish Saved Civilization. Leave it to the Irish guy to get the educational word out. Pardon my pride. I just really get a kick out of it. Thank you all, much. 16 Jul 04

My dear fellow catholics, I am writing to you from Sydney Australia, I came to your site by accident and it gave me great relief and joy to go through your prayers and the virtual tour of your very beautiful church. I have my son... who is currently studying in a seminary to become a priest (God willing) I am very proud of him especially in these days of a materialistic society. He still has to go two years before he is ordained. I have been married for 45 years and thank God for everything he has given us. Though we have had some tough times I guess its the will of God. A couple of years ago I went into business for myself and lost all my possessions including our home. This year my wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer but fortunately it was only the beginning and they have been able to operate and she is now having radiations. When I think of all the things which have happened to us I always think of Job and how he accepted what God sent to him and find solace in this. Please pray for us that we will be able to cope with all our diversities. May the Blessed Virgin always look after the work which you are doing. 12 Jul 04

I just wanted to let you know you have a fantastic site. I so wish a Church was like this in my area. What a great treasure you have. Sincerely in Christ and Mary. 10 Jul 04

Dear Father, My name is Fr. Rob Pecotte and I just wanted to thank you for your awesome website! It is an excellent resource for the Church and I am grateful to you and your staff who have contributed to making the website available. I am also very happy that you do not charge a fee for spreading the Gospel! Keep up the Holy work... 8 Jul 04

... your work is excellent which of course is an obvious sign of the Holy Spirit. Without whom we would never become happy, joyous and free. Your brother in Christ. 5 Jul 04

JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS FOR LISTING ALL THE PRAYERS. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. 26 Jun 04

Hello, I am... a Eucharistic Minister and my work takes me to medical facilities within our parish. I have found your bible study web pages very useful. Thank you. 23 Jun 04

I am gathering information for the good mormon fellows who said they would return to my house next week. I strayed to your website to find the Catholic Catechism here and quickly bookmarked it. Then I started the virtual tour of St. Charles. It was so lovely and inspiring to see the environment that lends itself to worship and prayer. I am in awe of your wondrous work. Keep it up. God bless you and all of St. Charles Borromeo parish. 13 Jun 04

Your website is one of the greatest Catholic treasures I have found. Thank you very much. I am using your Bible study with a Protestant buddy of mine. He and I talk on the phone each week... Thanks again. 12 May 04

The website rocks. I am going to use your Bible Study materials. 4 May 04

Thank you for making the Catolic Catechism available online. This is a really nice thing you have done. 11 Mar 04

Peace be with you! I want to say thank you to those who have done the work to create such a beautiful and informative website. Anytime I do a search engine to find info about the catholic faith your website comes up. I often find what I am looking for in the format or layout I need. May God Bless you and your work! 7 Mar 04

Dear Person in Charge, you folks are a blessing to us all. I wish our parish could do half what you are doing. I just recently found your website. Our parish is doing the Disciples in Mission this year and your Bible study on the Sunday readings is very helpful. I appreciate the fact that your interpretation is faithful to Tradition and the Magisterium. Thanks and may Gods Grace be with you all! 24 Feb 04

Dear Father,... The Scripture study section has been a wonderful guide for my own spiritual growth as it helps me come to a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. We also use your study material in our RCIA/Catholic Education class here at St. Francis Xavier Chapel, United States Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, NC. With the wonderful Scripture breakouts on the Sunday readings, many of our active duty Marines and Sailors are able to come to understand the Word of God. We also have military spouses in the class, as well as retired military members who live in the area. Thank You! God bless y'all. P.S. - Your Scripture studies have also gone on training deployment, aboard ships and with our troops deployed in the desert.

Father, I want to thank you and your parishioners for compiling this website. It has been a blessing and has helped bring me back to the folds of the Catholic Faith in the last year. I particularly enjoy the online version of the Cathechism; as it has aided me with personal questions. My favorite passage concers faith and reason: http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/159.htm 18 Feb 04

Praise the Lord! It was an unexpected gift and pleasure to stumble across your "virtual tour" this evening while I was browsing the web for a bit of Catechism information. My family and I belong to St. Ann's parish here in Gulf Breeze, Florida. Our St Ann staff is currently busy at work to expand our own website, and it will be a pleasure for me to send a link to your parish web site to our office here in Florida. My mother's father's family is from McComb, MS, and my father is from Liberty, MS, perhaps that is why I felt instantly at peace viewing your church and grounds. I think, rather that it was more due to your obvious reverence for tradition in the building of your new church... this tradition I am sure is reflected not only in your sanctuary but in your parish community as well. What a blessed parish you must have!... Bless you for preserving sacred Catholic tradition in your church, for honoring Mary and the saints-- even the Seraphim! It is a beautiful church, one that actually brought tears to my eyes when I viewed it on my tiny computer monitor. Bless you for your informative website-- with mention of your devotion to the Sacred and Immaculate hearts-- for your perpetual adoration and more. Thank God SOMEONE is preserving Catholic architectural tradition, customs and devotions. May the grace of God be with you as you continue your mission. I look forward to visiting your parish in person one day. I will continue to pray that one day my own parish will be filled with such beautiful reminders of our rich Catholic heritage and traditions, these aides to prayer, these guides to holiness, these sacred and treasured reminders of the glorious mystery of the most Blessed Sacrament, these signposts to the presence of God! Thank you, God Bless 17 Feb 04

Just want to give you a special "thanks" for an absolutely awesome and inspiring website. 28 Jan 04

I found your website after using google to search for the Catholic Catechism. What a wonderful job you have done! Keep up the great work! 27 Jan 04

Just a note to thank you for your website. Our son had an assignment in the Catechism and needed to refer to an on-line version. Your site is amazing. I want to show it to all of my priest friends in Tampa. What an incredible resource. (By the way, I have worked in Catholic schools and parishes for 25 years; I have never seen anything like this.) Great work! Kudos to your webmaster and your entire staff. 2 Feb 04

[to let you know...] how much I've enjoyed browsing through your website. It is really beautifully presented. I've passed it on to others. God Bless all. 31 Jan 04

I enjoyed your site very much. You have a well organized graphic site index. I also enjoyed how you set up a calsnet.net calendar for bible study material. ( I used their service also for parish and school calendars.) Your Informational Text Content is outstanding! "To Tell You The Whole Truth About The Church And The Holy Bible" .... ROCKS. From what I had time to see, your parishioners are blessed. Keep up the great work. Yours in The Service of Jesus Christ. 31 Jan 04

First of all, my compliments on your website….it’s terrific! I came upon it by chance while on my lunch hour at work; Christus Rex’s search engine for the Catechism has been down for a while, so I did a search for another, and saw your site that gave the section on Baptism. My husband (who is a permanent deacon...) and I are working at a brand new parish in our diocese. Right now I’m the RCIA coordinator but am hoping to switch ministries next fall and get an adult education program going in the parish. I had been searching for a liturgically based program but hadn’t had any luck, until now. Once again, my compliments! 21 Jan 04

What a great website!!!! 20 Jan 04

Hello from Matthew Buttaro Great Neck Long Island, N.Y. I found your Parish Web Site very interesting and informative especiallly the Bible Study section. Of all the Sites on the internet yours is the Best I found so far. With the 9/11 situation so close to where I live and my participation in the revovery efforts ( I am a volunteer Firefighter-on Long Island), It is refreshing to go to your site and find so much information to get me and my familys life through these troubling times. God Bless and all the Best to you andyour Parish. 17 Jan 04

I just wanted to to express my gratitude to you for a great website. I live near Seattle Washington and am helping teach the teenage Confirmation class. This is our retreat weekend. One of the other assistants suddenly called in that she wouldn't be able to go. One of her sessions was to discuss the Profession of Faith. So at the last minute (4 hours actually) I needed to prepare my own curriculum. I couldn't condense Fr. Corapi's tape series into the 1.5 hours afforded the discussion so... 'with a quick Google search on the internet, I found your website and copied your file/catechesis on the Nicene/Apostle's Creed. Pray for us. 16 Jan 04

What a great website!! I appreciate your comprehensiveness and gentle format. I was looking for a bible study format to use with a group of mom's at our school. Besides a wonderful bible study, I also found a great resource of all that is good about being Catholic. I particularily liked your Saints section, the Prayers and the Words of Wisdom. Keep up the good work!! I have sent the link to many of my friends, thanks again! 5 Jan 04

Beautiful web page! God must be happy with such a devoted Parish. Let us pray for each other! 24 Nov 03

Dear Reader, I happened across your site and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. It was easy to navigate, -very well organized. Thank you. Much Appriciated!..... Remember: "What you permit ,you promote." I wish you peace. 20 Nov 03

Just wanted to let you know what a great work of art the website is. Very easy to navigate and filled with interesting and useful information. Really a joy to use. Thank you. 13 Nov 03

Fantastic website! Great design! Very easy to navigate! Thank you. PS: I actually am able to write complete sentences. "Vocatus atque non vocatus Deus aderit." Erasmus 10 Nov 03

I came across your web site yesterday as it was the feast day and I was quite happy to see so much wonderful information about your church. I attend a Catholic church in Hallandale, Florida, by the same name. Our church just underwent an extensive two year renovation during which time we could not use the building, I attend mass every day and know it will be a challenge and rewarding to build up our parish again... Many thanks and the parishioners of Picayune St. Charles will be in my thoughts and prayers. 5 Nov 03

Just wanted to thank you for a very WONDERFUL educational tool in your website! I'm a campus minister in Nebraska. I've added your site to our Catholic Links. Know that you will help college students KNOW LOTS. Peace and joy! 17 Oct 03

Some time ago I was researching Bible Study programs for use in our parish. I came across the program utilized by your parish. I found this program to be an excellent instructional tool because of the way it takes the Scripture readings and provides historical, cultural, and political commentaries to the readings. Thank you so much. 15 Oct 03

Thanks for creating one of the best websites in all of Christianity! You left NOTHING out. No button, no subject. The content is a "dream site" for parishes deveopling their websites. From this day forward, I will be recommending your site to every Director of Religious Ed, and to those heading up RCIA training as the ideal place to send ALL who are seeking the Catholic Faith. Merci, Merci, Merci. 14 Oct 03

I have recently accepted a position with a poor parish in San Diego. I've been laboring over the condition of their WEB page started some years ago and never since updated. This is a project for the our future. Searching the web today, for a very unrelated topic, I came across the site for St. Charles Boromeo. If you haven't been told recently, you did a wonderful job on it. It's user friendly, has many other important links and you've just all around done a wonderful job. I don't know that I will ever be able to compare to your, once I figure out what they've done, however, your is a wonderful site to strive for. God bless you for the stewardship of your talent. 14 Oct 03

Hi! I just found your site as I was doing a search on "Catechism of the Catholic Church". I haven't looked through the whole site yet but it seems very interesting. Congratulations and keep up the good work. Father [name removed], Canada. 10 Oct 03

I am a high school catechist in Cambridge, Maryland. The service your parish provides by having the catechism available through your website with the search capability has been a real blessing, and makes my lesson planning so much easier and educational for me! Wow! Now if only you could help me with my run-on sentences! I have told my fellow catechists about your site, and their response has been great excitment. Thank you thank you thank you! 3 Oct 03

Praised Be Jesus Christ, now and forever! I wanted to write and thank you for your parish website. It is awesome! I have used so much of it in my teaching apostolate and my working here in Hastings. I have been a priest for three years. I am the pariochal vicar and I teach 9th and 7th grade at our local catholic high school. Be assured of my prayers and please pray for me. 28 Sep 03

Hello, I would like to express my appreciation - your website is informational, GOD BLESS!!! Also we are trying to propagate our devotion to St. Nino (baby Jesus); I crossed your site and it was so done beautifully. God Bless and hope you can touch poeple by your website through the help of the internet... 28 Sep 03

I am very happy to know that you have such a good collection of very useful prayers hosted on your web site. A very good service indeed. 24 Sep 03

Thank you for your website. It is very informative in answering many questions I had. 11 Sep 03

I’m sure you hear this all the time, but I have to say it, anyway… Your site is AMAZING! 10 Sep 03

I thought the online book was excellent! It answers many questions about the Catholic religion and dispelled a few myths that I had been taught. Thank you very much for alleviating some of the concerns I had. 9 Sep 03

Greetings.... I love your website -- simply fantastic! Many thanks. 9 Sep 03

I just wanted to say how very valuable I find your website. As a pastor in Jersey (the old one, south of England), I learn so much from your Scripture notes and other rsources. Thank you for this! 20 Aug 03

I really enjoy your website. It's mutiple layers are very unusual and very thorough. Thank you. 18 Aug 03

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know I am very impressed with your site! I'm a fifth grade PSR teacher in Wichita, Kansas, and am always looking for new sites to help me in my stewardship. Thanks so much! 10 Jul 03

Your site is just incredible! It is just amazing. Thank-you for the gift that you are share with so many people via the internet! 21 Jun 03

... And thank you for your excellent work! I'm on a yahoo group that is Catholic-bashing at the moment and many of your articles have been helpful. 20 Jun 03

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I enjoy and appreciate SO MUCH, your search engine on the Catechism! 7 Jun 03

Hello, while researching churches for my site, I came across you parish web site and I would like to compliment you on its content. I was searching for info and pictures of Robert Brown when I hit http://www.scborromeo.org/truth/c4.htm on your site... Any way, I plan on reading through your site as time permits and just wanted to give you a pat on the cyber-back. 10 Jun 03

Thank you for sharing your Catholic Calendar. 24 May 03

Dear all, I've really enjoyed reading your website, especially the section devoted to explanation of the Catholic faith. I found the site by accident and have added it to my favourites. It's a amazing that I, in Port Kembla, Australia, can learn so much from people on the other side of the world. 12 May 03

You have a very impressive site. As a web master for [a] Catholic Church, I enjoy seeing what other Catholic churchs are presenting. 1 May 03

Just wanted to drop a note to thank you for your website. Out here in the desert (Oregon) we don't easily find reliable Catholic teachers or churches for that matter. Being able to rely on your website for information has been helpful. Thank you for all you do. 29 Apr 03

I think this is just the most wonderful site. 26 Apr 03

I just want to say thank you for all that you have to offer on your beautiful website. I have saved it in my favorites, esp to prayer to Patron Saints, something my mother did, but I have not. I probably will start though, now that I know to whom to pray thanks to your website. Also, Padre Pio's prayer after communion is beautiful. I am just beginning to renew my catholic faith. God Bless you. 23 Apr 03

Ave Maria!! I just found your web site while going through the Vatican's! I'm in Scherbakty, Kazakhstan, near Pavlodar, just a few tens of miles from the Siberian border [Russia], and I'm here as a Catholic Marian Missionary with the Family of Mary Coredemptrix! St. Charles is also my patron saint in this community, and so I'm asking you all for your prayers in my mission here, that I and the other brothers and sisters here may always find the strength to carry on as God wills, doing His will! Thanks a lot, and may God bless you always! 30 Mar 03

Hai, One of the best sites I ever visited in last 5 years. It is great pleasure for me to increase the faith and casting all the doubts bound me by evil tricks which kept (others) away from the "Truth"... Thank You. God Bless You. 27 Mar 03

Hello, Really enjoy your web site! Especially the bible study section for the liturgical year and the various cycles. 26 Mar 03

I can't think of enough words to express my delight in your web site. It is positively fantastic! I have been sitting here for almost 2 hours clicking from one link to another and still haven't seen all of them. I have used your CCC quite a number of times in the past but have never really investigated the rest of your site before. I am totally impressed! 20 Mar 03

Very good books! Fantastic! Keep up the good work!! 16 Mar 03

What a terrific website. To those of you who spent hours creating and maintaining this site, congratulations. What a terrific resourse (and blessing) for all of us - Catholics and non-Catholics alike. I'm proud and blessed to say that I received my Catholic instruction at St. Charles. 6 Mar 03

I know one of my staff has been inquiring about using the Stations of the Cross images on the site. I would like to add my own appreciation of your beautiful website. I just took a peek and I can’t tell you how wonderful it is. Great job and look forward to visiting the page and links. 6 Mar 03

This is just a note to congratulate you on the excellent web site you have put together! 3 Mar 03

Hi. Each week before Sunday Mass I go over the readings and try to make them easier for my 14 year old to understand. I search and search. There are plenty of Protestant information and much anti-catholic ;(. I want[ed] to find a web page that I can trust... when I do other biblical searches I cannot tell you how many times your web page comes up. 1 Mar 03

like your news site --keep us informed, we need this --can't rely on any secular agency to give us the right stuff!! 20 Feb 03

I have just gone over your site briefly and it is wonderful! I appreciate the good orthodox Catholic apologetics resources. I will definitely come back for more. 18 Feb 03

appreciate all the info... have told others about your site... thanks much 13 Feb 03

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for the posting of the many beautiful prayers offered to the Lord that we may use on a daily basis. I hope that everyone that finds your site will use the prayers for the benefit of souls. THANK YOU 8 Feb 03

God bless you for your work. I've used your Bible Study commentary in the past and today I am using some of the litanies and devotions as part of a a prayer booklet created at the request of our deacon. Thank you for your efforts to share the Good News. 8 Feb 03

Thank you for your online bible study. I like the way you have it on calander, too. 29 Jan 03

You have an excellent web site. I especially like the handling of the Catechism. 18 Jan 03

I am not a formal member of any church, but I have been reading through the Catechism which I have found online. I must say it puts into words thoughts and feelings familiar to me. As a person who is a little old fashioned about some things, I am curious where I might find a copy of the Catechism printed on paper. Thank You for your time... I'm sure I may have other questions in the future. 13 Dec 02

Thank u 4 this wonderful, uplifting site. 22 Nov 02

I was lead to your wonderful web site from Mr. Hahn's link... Just wanted to let you know how blessed we all are to have such a WONDERFUL site like yours, it is one of the most informative sites I have visited, you have been truly blessed. May the Peace of Christ be with you. 20 Nov 02

SAINTS BLESS YOUR PARISH. I APPRECIATE THESE PRAYERS, AND I WISH TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR EVANGELIZATION. EVERY PRAYER IS HEARD, AND YOU HAVE INCLUDED A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO OUR GOD. PRAY FOR US IN PITTSBURGH, PA., FOR OUR HOLY MOTHER THE CHURCH, AND PLEASE PRAY THE ROSARY EVERY DAY FOR WORLD PEACE. THE MESSAGES OF FATIMA ARE AS GOOD TODAY AS THEY WERE THEN. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND GIVE YOU THE FORTITUDE TO CONTINUE YOUR GOOD WORK. HAVE A BEAUTIFUL, HOLY, NATIVITY CELEBRATION AND A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING, WHICH OUR BISHOP CALLS AMERICA'S FEAST DAY! 13 Nov 02

J.M.J. - Thank you for your website. Will visit often. 13 Nov 02

Great site for info and prayerful assistance. Keep up the good work. 2 Nov 02

I just wanted to thank you for your web page. I spent hours today looking for a good web site of saints for children and found yours. 24 Oct 02

I live in Massachusetts. I recently started a bible study and I wanted to thank you for putting your bible study comments online. I find them very helpful. : ) Please continue in this endeavor. 23 Oct 02

Thanks for a job well done on your wonderful website. I found so many helpful things even though I came searching for but one thing (the prayer to my Guardian Angel!) I thoroughly enjoyed "visiting" your parish and wish God's blessing on all of you. 21 Oct 02

Your parishioners are so lucky! What a wonderful website that you are sharing with all of us! I do have one question: what is the source for your Bible study? I think it is a wonderful approach, using the Liturgical calendar. I know of a website that does that for teaching young children, but is is great to have one for adults as well. Once again, thank you for all your time, efforts, etc. May God bless you all. 19 Oct 02

I have stumbled onto your web site by accident while looking up unrelated material on the Vatican's web site. I read with great interest your web page titled "Glad You Asked". My family is transplanted from the North to the Raleigh NC area... I was impressed by the common sense answers to many of the questions posed and believe that this would be good not only for my wife's information but also for the many questions I get while working with others in my line of work. I am amazed by the number of people I meet who not only don't understand Catholicism but have never met a Catholic before. 20 Sep 02

Dear Webmaster, I can't resist writing this to congratulate you on the excellence of your website. I found it simply by doing a "Google-search" for the "Catechism of the Catholic Church". I thought that I would probably be directed to the EWTN website, or something similar. When I saw the URL, I assumed that it was the website of another "St. Charles Borromeo", the major seminary of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. (I happen to know that because I live in Reading, PA, in the adjoining Diocese of Allentown). So I was especially surprised when it turned out to be the website of a parish. All the more so since it was a parish in Mississippi! That's not a "put-down", by the way. I only say that because I lived in Athens, Georgia, for many years, and so I know that there are relatively few Catholics in the South, compared with, for example, the numbers here in the Northeast. I see that you have also had the benefit of the services of a number of Irish priests as your pastors over the years (although I am also glad to see that your current pastor is a "native" of MS). When I lived in Athens, the successive pastors of our local parish (St. Joseph's) were also from Ireland. The one who was serving there when I left Georgia, in 1977, was Fr. Michael Woods. He was one of the most inspiring and eloquent preachers I have ever heard in a Catholic church. Perhaps your Fr. Noone has heard of him? Unfortunately, he had some personal problems a few years after I left, but I hope that they did not result in his leaving the ministry. That's all I wanted to say. Keep up the good work, and "Keep the faith!". 18 Sep 02

Your website is the BEST Catholic site on the internet and may be best single source anywhere to learn about our faith. It is a wealth of solid, orthodox Catholic wisdom, much needed in today's lost society. Thank you so much and continued blessings. 2 Sep 02

My wife told me about your web site and said I needed to check it out. Wow! It is really impressive. I belong to St. Jude Catholic Church in Pearl, just outside of Jackson. You (all?) have done an outstanding job with the site. I will be sure to spend a lot of time here. I again commend the excellent site you have created and will have other parishoners take a look at it. 22 Aug 02

This site is awesome, inspirational, uplifting. If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. 1 Aug 02

Dear All, I have just been on the website tour of your beautiful church. I am coming to you from Cheshire in England. My own parish is the parish of St Margaret Ward, a 16th century martyr who lived in Congleton in Cheshire. You have a beautiful location and it is good to see the church universal at work. I am a member of the SVP and I was looking for a spiritual reading, to read this evening, at my conference meeting. I stumbled onto your website looking for Prayers. God works in mysterious ways - God Bless you all. 30 Jul 02

I'm impressed with your web site and am grateful for the information I was able to find there. I'm employed by the Catholic Diocese of Colorado Springs (Colorado) and am working with a national Evangelical Christian organization from Montana to "translate" one of their extremely fine scripture-based conciliation programs for Catholic use. I just thought I'd let you know how impressed I was with your web site. Keep up the good work for the Lord! 20 July 02

We at Prison/Jail Ministry in the Diocese of Grand Rapids Michigan REALLY appreciate your bible studies. They are used every week at 24 correctional facilities throughout the diocese. We have 274 volunteers going into 24 facilities! Everyone of the volunteers with a computer uses your bible study! Thanks... 19 July 02

I just wanted to thank the Pastor and Parishioners of St. Charles Borremeo for an incredible website. I maintain a parish website in Longmont, CO, and have LINKS to many other websites, but you have actually built this incredible treasure of Catholic apologetics yourselves. That is remarkable! You have some industrious parishioners there! We intend to link to your CCC and to your apologetic materials. Thank you. 15 July 02

I earlier navigated to the bible study for the lections easily using your hierarchical browser in the left frame. You have the best website of any parish church I have seen, Catholic or otherwise. As a programmer, I think I have a fairly critical eye, and your site tops the fundamentalist megachurches hands down for appearance and ease-of-use (and thankfully, material that is much more conducive to the salvation of souls -- the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth). Magisterial. Amazing. OK, today's Gospel is also about humility. Wouldn't want you to stumble :-) You are a blessing to the WWW. May God continue to empower your ministry to the world redeemed by His Son. 7 July 02

Hello, I just wanted to say thank-you for having all the wonderful prayers on your site! I dont know how I found this site but somehow I did. Your church is in my prayers. Thank you. 25 June 02

Congratulations to you and the Parish. What a wonderful website. One hopes all our parishes would do something similar. Your parish seems to vibrant and Spirit filled. May God richly bless you. Thank you for the inspiration. 23 May 02

Just a note of thanks and praise. I was surfing the web for a few good quotes to round out a small speech for my mother's retirement luncheon (22 years of teaching 4th grade) and your site came up on the search engine. It was wonderfully easy to navigate, professionally done and so welcoming! And, your "words of wisdom" section provided some needed direction. Thank you! 14 May 02

Thank you very much for allowing me access to your fantastic web site. I am doing a prison ministry at a Women's Federal Prison Camp and your Bible Study has been a Godsend to me, a novice, who had never done a Bible study. 30 Apr 02

Dear Loving God's Ministers, It is indeed a great privilege for me to find such a website. It is the work of the Holy Spirit in the Catholic Church. Such website is indeed much required for us. I was given the information about your website by my son in Dallas who is growing in the Lord in the Catholic Faith. I inturn have handed over the site info to a very well known Catholic lay preacher who has welcomed it. Praise the Lord and thanks for the same. May God prosper your e-mail ministry. Keep me in your prayers. 26 Apr 02

Great site! It sounds like you have a wonderful church there. It's much like my own (St. Martin of Tours), except that you don't have the Latin Mass, too bad. Your site is great, it has a lot of very helpful information and I know some hard work went into it. Perpletual adoration makes all the difference. Thanks. 12 Apr 02

Thank you so much for having this available on line. I had received a question from a very Fundamentalist cousin who was trying to understand why another (Catholic) relative was praying "to" St. Jude for the healing of the cousin's son. By using some excepts from the Catechism I was better explain the Communion of Saints through the formal teaching of the Church. Thank you, Bless you. 2 Apr 02

Thank you for publishing a phenomenal website. I would expect such quality from a diocesan-level project! 18 Mar 02

Thank you for the Examination of Conscience you have on your website. When I prepare for confession I like to read through a document like you have here to help me remember sins that I have forgotten or ignored. I like to look at different examination aids because each looks at things a little differently and each exposes the truth of sin in a different way. Yours is a very rewarding and helpful example. 16 Feb 02

What a beautiful, spirit filled site and church, I loved your tour and plan to visit your site often, I am catholic and a Eucharistic minister and found your site so moving. Thank you for putting so much beauty on the Internet. 6 Feb 02

We loved your web site of Saint Charles Borommeo. We are Catholics ourselves. Your parish and yourself have quite a ministry in reaching out to everyone. The Sacred Scriptures speak of Jesus telling the early Apostles and us-to "go into all nations..." and you are surely doing that in a way that others can learn about your parish and the Catholic Church. Your web site and its focus on Christ has helped us to strengthen our faith in Him. Thanks and God Bless! 27 Jan 02

This is a very beautiful site. I found it while looking for Bible study materials for my ``small faith community'' and I found what I was looking for here! Thank you. 23 Jan 02

Dear Sirs and Madams, I find your website a striking good example of the possibility to combine content, design and usability in a magnificent way. The navigational links and design is extraordinary, the content is well positioned and easy to find and read, and the content is beyond words. Your illustrations combined with text makes it a wonderful tool for any religious, biblical and historical studies... 22 Jan 02

I did a search for a Catholic Bible Study, and am delighted to have found your site. There are a great many helpful things on your site that I will come back to time and again. Thank you again for your site. 19 Jan 02

I've just been touring your site, and it's incredibly robust. You've done so much! How long did it take you to do this? At any rate, well done! 16 Jan 02

Just found your website. Very Cool! What a great bible study section! Keep up the good work and thank you for this ministry! 15 Jan 02

I would like to commend you on this wonderful website. I am in an ongoing "bible study" with my bible christian sister and brother - in law (although our "bible study" is more me defending my faith). In any event, I found a lot of useful and informative information on your website. This site took quite a bit of effort and it shows. Thank you and May God Continue to Bless You. 6 Jan 02

A thousand thank you's for all that you do to keep this site current. It is an invaluable reserach for my RCIA involvement in a small south Georgia town. God's blessings on you and your work. 2 Jan 02

I just wanted to tell you that this is an absolutely great website! I am new to Catholic faith and am so thrilled to have found your site. It is so informative and easy to navigate. I have helped design a couple so sites so I know the work involved and wanted to say you did a terrific job. And to let you know that this site is helping me find tons of answers and inspiration! God Bless You. 12 Dec 01

Just a note to acknowledge the great value that I have found in your "Bible page" for the Mass readings. I am a Catholic priest in the archdiocese of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. The name of our parish is Holy Family in the suburb of Indooroopilly, which is an inner Brisbane suburb, about 5 miles from the centre of the city. I have travelled extensively throughout USA on a number of occasions, - I spent 6 weeks travelling back and forth across USA only in January & February this year as part of 3 month's Long Service leave. Anyway thank you for the wonderful service thus provided. We will be making good use of it here in our parish. 29 Nov 01

I felt blessed visiting your website, and I thank God for allowing me the opportunity of this experience! 7 Nov 01

I used a search engine and entered "1 Timothy 2:5 Catholic" to find an explanation as I was having a real problem with this verse and my understanding of Christ as THE mediator between God and man. You see, I was raised Lutheran and am now in RCIA class. Its really hard to grasp some of the ideas, and we have such a large group, not much time for questions. The concept of subordinate mediator never came up and this verse was gnawing at me. Thanks so much for your concise explaination! 6 Nov 01

I stumbled upon your website in searching for a copy of the thanksgiving prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas. You have a very impressive site! Thanks for all the work you put into it! 5 Nov 01

Dear Friends in Christ; Thank you for your wonderful website. Being a patient of Chronic and Major Depression for 18 years I found the prayers to St. Dymphna comforting and strengthening. I had never heard of her. I spent 20 years in the Assemblies of God and it only caused further distress of mind and emotions for me until I had a complete mental collapse. I have attempted going back to protestant churches, but become very confused. I especialy cannot tolerate preaching on Hell and Sin; it is too hard on a depressive person like myself. I have been interested in becoming a Catholic since my husband and I visited Italy 2 years ago. We both came to understand why so much of the religion is ceremonial; it is Holy and seeks to keep the things of God Holy.... Thank you for your time. Yours Truly,... 29 Oct 01

Dear Web Master, Your site is excellent. A medical doctor from my parish just e-mailed with a question regarding the canon of Scripture. I remembered that I had visited your site once before and found some solid information on this matter, so I directed her to several pages which she will find helpful. 27 Oct 01

Wonderful site. My Mother and I are doing research on the saints and found your site through google.com. I am currently studying for my second career as webmaster. I will approach my Priest to see if our small parish might consider a web site with your site as an example. Thank you. I look forward to spending more time at your site. God Bless! 26 Oct 01

I found your website quite by accident...and I'm so happy I did! It's beautiful, well-done, informative, inspirational...what a wonderful gift! Thank you, God bless you and please, keep up the good work! 21 Oct 01

Hello. I wanted to say thank you for putting the entire Catechism online in such a well-organized way. I am in a "Familia" program this year and our readings correlate from a Familia study book and the Catechism. While we have yet to receive our materials for study, it is up to us individually to purchase a Catechism. I plan to purchase one for myself with "birthday money", but my birthday is a month away. I will use your site until then (and even beyond my purchase). Thank you again and God Bless. 5 Oct 01

Just have to tell you how much I love scborromeo.org - it's just about my favourite site (along with catholic.org). I was received into the Catholic Church last Easter. My sponsor is a wonderful, funloving little nun from O.L.S.H. order (she came around today with some swiss chard and parsley because I am anaemic - if you want some practical help, just ask an OLSH nun!!) As soon as I'm a bit better, we are going to concentrate on me teaching her some computer and internet skills. She teaches in schools and I know she would just love to introduce students to the idea of a senior nun with internet savvy. I must say I find the idea irresistible (you have to picture a tiny little lady, say 4' 9", with an unruly mop of silver curls and an irrepressable sense of humour!) So - when we get going, our first port of call is going to be scborromeo.org. I know she will love it as much as I do. May God bless you for providing this wonderful resource. 1 Oct 01

This is a fantastic web site. I love that it's so informative and gives me a chance to learn more about my Catholic faith. :o) 25 Sep 01

This is a fantastic web site. I love that it's so informative and gives me a chance to learn more about my Catholic faith. :o) Thank you. 25 Sep 01

I want to thank you for offering your wonderful Bible Study on your website. I lead a group that was doing the Renew sharing and after the lessons ran out we decided to relect on the next Sunday's Mass readings. I recently discovered your Bible Study and it has been a wonderful resource for our reflections. Thank you for making this available. God bless. 23 Sep 01

To whom it may concern, I was looking for the Catechism on-line and fell onto your web-site. Congratulations on a most extraordinary site! Your parish is truly blessed. I especially enjoyed the apologetics included on the site. Refreshing, to say the least! 20 Sep 01

Wanted to say thank you! I am doing my first retreat for our women's group here in Las Vegas at St. Joseph, Husband of Mary Catholic Church. With the shortage of priest I was only blessed with having Father Michael from Cedar City Utah for 24 hours, so I had to put so literature together for Saturday evening. Thank you again for your web-site. I was able to find out about several Saints and use that information for my Saturday evening prayer time. Again I can't thank you enough I was a very lucky girl, your site is AWESOME!!!!! 19 Sep 01

Thank you so much for your inspiring web site. I'm making my way back to the Church and you've helped me greatly. "Nunquam Obliviscar" I Will Never Forget 27 Aug 01

I have suffered from depression since 1971. It has affected me in many ways but always in the negative. I have been under a doctor's care for decades and the medications and analysis have helped to some degree but pain, dispair, and lack of joy have defined my life for 30 years. Twice I have tried to take my own life and the last time (3 years ago) I spent over a week in ICU and more time in a secure facility. I have had to be secret and deceptive about this condition with my coworkers and even my friends because there are so many people who do not recognize depression as an illness and there is so much prejudice against we who have to live with this disease. Lately I have been asking St. Dymphna to pray for me and to intercede on behalf of me and those who share this nightmare. I have not experienced any great change, because my faith is not yet strong enough, but when I pray I do feel more at peace. It is fleeting and it never lasts long but I know that something good happens to me if just for a brief time. I have spoken the prayers to St. Dymphna that I found on your website and I wanted you to know that they have helped. For that I thank you and I thank God that people like you care enough to put so much love and labor into helping others. God Bless you and your congregation. 23 Aug 01

I have just taken the virtual tour of your church. I enjoyed it very much. You truly have a beautiful "Catholic" church. I find it both, contemporary and yet, traditional. I am from Miami, Florida and wish that my own parish was as beautiful and traditional as yours is. If I am ever in your city, I will try my very best to attend Mass at your parish. God bless. 15 Aug 01

I just want to thank you for a most wonderful website! I use the online Catechism often and share it with many to enlighten them about my Catholic faith. May God always bless you in this ministry. 15 Aug 01

I picked up your website from Envoy Magazine's review of the website by David Palm. David always struck me as an erstwhile and straight forward chap, so I tapped on and found all this rich, golden load of fabulous ideas. If another parish looked at what you have done, they might even start talking and getting the young parents and teens into it as well. May the Holy Spirit guide all to greater evangelization, inspired catechetical discoveries in the Bible, the Magisterial and the CCC, and a deeper, richer faith in Jesus Christ. May God bless you for all you have done and for what, I'm sure, you'll continue into the future. 4 Aug 01

Hello, I am very impressed with your website. I hope that the lord will continue to bless all your efforts. Thanks for the search capabilities on the Catholic Catechism. 30 Jul 01

WOW what a beautiful website! Very well done! BRAVO! -San Francisco, CA 21 Jul 01

My attention was called to your website by a posting on one of the Catholicity newsgroups. It is a well done and worthwhile site. Your apologetics pages and the history of the church were quite interesting and I have them bookmarked for later study. Thanks. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20). The opinions expressed herein are mine alone and do not reflect those of my employer, my wife, my kids, or our cats who really don't seem to care. 21 Jul 01

Dear webmaster, I accidently came accross your website, WOW it's full of wonderful things to learn about our Catholic Faith, thanks for all your hardwork!! I am 37 and was just comfirmed in May, so I am wanting to learn more about the faith and your site is organized well and has a lot of helpful information. 19 Jul 01

Thank you so much ... I cannot begin to thank you for all the information I have received from your website. I belong to a "Christian" board and we discuss the Bible and interpretations. There are all sorts of denominations and people of differing beliefs that come to discuss on this board. Unfortunately, I have seemed to become the target of lots of false information and need to be able to explain my beliefs and why. I hope you don't mind, but I have been putting the information from your board, not verbatim, as my replies. I have in turn, learned so much about my own faith and have you all to thank for this. I do give the website full credit on my posts, just so you know. I feel it is so important. I have been telling everyone in my parish about your site and hope this helps. We as Catholics need to not only be able to defend our beliefs as Christians, but as Catholics. The information provided on your website is priceless, as is the quotes from Scripture which is so often "demanded" from those of differing Christian beliefs. Thank you again for all of your help. 10 Jul 01

I wanted to first say thank you for this web-site! I am here in Florida and belong to a Christian debate board. I am just now truly learning about my faith as a Catholic. I went to Catholic school and all, but until now, never truly had the answers I needed. Thanks to your website, I am not only growing so much stronger in my faith, but am also armed to defend it. Thank you so much. I have passed this on to others as well and they love it too! [...] Thank you again for this wonderful website....it was truly a Godsend for me and I couldn't have found it at a better time. I only wish there were a way to thank you. If there is anything I can do, let me know. 7 Jul 01

Just wanted to drop you a note that I did a "Goggle Search" today using "Examination of Conscience" and your page was about the fifth one listed. Today was First Friday and I wanted to go to confession during a holy hour service that we have in our parish. I found a great "Exmaination of conscience" summary on your site. I decided to look at your home page. Your home page is the best I've every seen! The listing down the side made it very easy for me to find what I was looking for. If we ever get a Website at our Church, we'll be looking you up! May God continue to bless your parish! 6 Jul 01

I just wanted to take the time to thank you for your excellent Bible Study online. It provides great explanations of the scriptures and commentaries that help with the understanding of the passages. We will keep you in our prayers for the continued success of your ministry. I found your website just the other day and it has been bookmarked. I think your online booklets are wonderful. We will be spending a lot of time reading them. Peace in Christ [from] Lenexa, Kansas (Kansas City). 5 Jul 01

We loved your site, viewed it with the grandkids and they really liked it and loved the pictures. ... Thanks for all you do for our great Catholic faith. We found and article on your site in the Envoy magazine also a great publication. Thanks again. 5 Jul 01

This web site has so much information. It has a lot of answers for me. It's my first time on this site and just wanted to let you know that I have sent it to a lot of my friends. God Bless. Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, Canada. 27 Jun 01

I wanted to let you know that I find your site impressive. So much information provided through a parish website. I stumbled on it searching for some information on St Charles. As a result I now know more about St Charles than I have ever known and I'm 58. The name Charles goes back seven generations as a first or middle name in my father's family and is also my son's (III) and grandson's name (IV). By happenstance it is also my mother's father's name. Thank you for your commitment to getting the word out about our faith. 5 Jun 01

Thank you for your beautiful and informative web site. What a beautiful church you have, in the physical as well as the spiritual sense. I was particularly transfixed by the text explaining the Tabernacle where the Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God, dwells, its fashioning after the Ark of the Covenant, and the fact that Our Blessed Mother, Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant. If we are ever in Mississippi we will surely visit St. Charles Borromeo! May God bless your church and your outreach. 28 May 01

Thank you for providing such a beautiful web site filled with such an excellent repository of Catholic information. Your web site was one of the first that I linked to my own and I've been referring to it for a number of years now.Thank you for your service to the Church! 21 May 01

You are truly a blessing, I am a Catholic and have been for years but, not always a good one, I wish to reunite my faith in Jesus Christ and come home to my church. I searched and searched for an online service to find a learning center for us old folk, it was impossible until I found you. I shall be a regular visitor if you do not mind. God Bless you for this work. 8 May 01

Blessings, I was delighted to find your page through your site being named on Petersnet. I am a convert of just over 6 years now and love "discovering" my "Family" all over the world :). St. John ch 6 was a "major key" for me, a former fundamentalist who was anti-catholic for over 30 years. May God bless your ministry both here on your web page and in your priestly ministry. 8 Apr 01

I am working on a project to make a listing of Catholic Websites for a retreat I am working on. As I was surfing the internet today, I came across your site. It is exceptional. I will be recommending it to all my friends in Wisconsin. I loved the devotional section and the search engine of the Catechism. Best wishes to all of you at St. Charles Borromeo, thank you for a great website !! 5 Mar 01

On behalf of our Bible Study Group I am writing to you from a small city situated near the southern coast of South Africa named George. The parish to which we belong is that of St. Peter & St. Paul and the church itself is the oldest standing Catholic Church -original building - in the country, the building having been consecrated by a Fr. A. Devereaux in 1842. We consist of approximately of 300 families and the church itself is situated in the grounds of what once was the Holy Cross Convent primary school. Regettably the nuns have been gone these few years now but the school is now operated on a secular basis, though the overtone is still strongly Catholic. So much for our background. The real purpose of this note is to thank you most sincerely on behalf of our group for making available your commentaries on the Sunday readings via the internet. ... May the peace of God be with you all. 19 Feb 01

Thank you for the Catechism. I have the paper copy, but the online version offers invaluable search capability. Thanks again. May God bless you and your parish always. 16 Feb 01

Wow! What a great site. I have never seen anything so complete on The Church. It is overwhelming. So much here. Love your Prayers page, your Point Papers, the Catechism search. Heck, the whole site. 14 Feb 01

Greetings again from England. Keep coming back to your site, its really great, keep the flame burning. 14 Feb 01

I found your website listed under catholic resources in the library (online) at Franciscan University at Stueubenville. Through a series of events I have found myself in the position of meeting each week with two very wonderful and smart fundamentalist women, to discuss Catholic teachings. I need all the help I can get. We do not argue, our conversations are informative for all of us. I know they do not intend to convert, and that is alright with me. I feel a burden to defend Catholic truths. Thank you for one more resource to help in this endeavor. 22 Jan 01

Thank you for such BEAUTIFUL pictures. Never have I seen so many to look at at one time. 17 Jan 01

Not having had much to do at work the last few days, I have been spending some wonderful time browsing your website. I have to say, WOW!! Your web designer(s) and administrator(s) deserve the highest acclamations. Your website is in my opinion, the best website that I have seen. There is so much information about the catholic faith and your parish that I am hooked. 17 Jan 01

Dear friends, thank you for your very interesting www page. My name is Maria, I am from Slovakia and I try to find prayers in English and order of mass in English on Internet. Your www page is very useful and nice for me, because the English language and God are my loves. Let God bless you all. 13 Jan 01

I just wanted to thank you for hosting such a fantastic site. I was received into the Catholic Church just last Easter. Living here in Atlanta, we are blessed to have a booming Catholic population, but I have also been faced with a LOT of anti-Catholic sentiment, and always need to be on my toes and able to defend my faith. Your question and answer section, online guides, and prayers and devotionals have really been helpful for me. I also just found out that the online Catholic MOMS group on AOL (to whom I posted a link to your site) has found your material to be very helpful. So please, keep up the wonderful work! You are truly a blessing for us! 7 Jan 01

Just wanted to say I am most impressed that even the Vatican acknowledges you guys' contributions to the CCC on the net!! Congratulations!! God bless, Father Dominick. 26 Dec 00

Stumbled onto your site ... it is by far the best "parish" site I''ve ever witnessed -- and ahead of most commercial sites. I've bookmarked it and will return --- and witness -- with your materials. 22 Nov 00

I can't begin to tell you what a blessing your site has been to me! I found it looking for the Catholic Catechism and have been using it for a study group at our church in NY. I am going to pass it along to our membership. Thank you and God bless all of you who make it possible. :-) 7 Nov 00

Periodically I like to thank you for your bible studies. I have enjoyed reading, studying and using them in my church's weekly bible study class. Thank you again. I look forward to another year of spiritual awakening. 2 Nov 00

In my constant search for inspiration for both the Small Faith Group that I shepherd here in Houston, Texas, and for the Order of the Daughters of King of which I belong - I came across your website. What a wonderful time I have had. You have done a beautiful job and the Wisdom pages were a delightful treat. The "virtual tour" of St. Charles Borromeo made me feel I had been walking upon the grounds.... As a fellow Catholic I felt connected to your community and marveled at the beauty of your sanctuary. 29 Oct 00

I learned of your site in Envoy Magazine. I am glad I stopped in to visit. I set your site as a favorite and I'll be back to visit. I will pray for you and ask that you pray for me and for my family. Pax et bonum! Peace and good. 26 Oct 00

Congratulations on your Church! It is so beautiful, reverant...so very Catholic. The statues, especially the tabernacle are works of art. I found your web site on the Franciscan University library site and I'm so impressed. 20 Oct 00

One of our candidates interested in the Church found your site and ask that we check it out. Thrilled to know that there are Churches working hard to present an easy to use, lovely site. Thank you. 17 Oct 00

Hi there, I was a parishoner there long ago from 1966-1969. I just happened upon this website and want to commend you on the wonderful job you have done. Also the new church looks as lovely as it can be. My family and I moved to Kansas after I graduated from high school in Picayune. I only wish that the parish in which I now live had such a lovely building in which to worship. God bless you and keep up the good work! 15 Oct 00

Please accept my best wishes on the 3rd anniversary of your web-site and my thankfulness for making available the CCC! My friend sent me the link to you and you cannot imagine how happy I am that I have found the Catechism at last. With prayerful regards... signed by a chaplain to English speaking people at St. Alexander church, Kiev, Ukraine. 23 Sep 00

I thank you for having this wonderful Web site and steering me to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I am 61 years of age and I am helping prepare my young son, age 14, for his Confirmation. Your site has renewed my knowledge and is very helpful explaining my belief to my son. 23 Sep 00

Hello, I am on the web site committee of [an] Episcopal church in CT and one of our parishioners mentioned at coffee hour last Sunday that you had a good web site. It is very well done and perhaps we can get some ideas from it. We are an Anglo-Catholic congregation and I just pulled up the Gospel from last Sunday and apparently the Episcopal Eucharist Readings are the same as yours! You have also done a wonderful job in increasing the size of your parish; keep up the good work. 18 Sep 00

Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much we appreciate your commentary on the weekly readings. Each week we do a "Bible study" with the teens at our church, where we go over the readings. Your commentary helps set the background and lead where the discussion will go. There are lots of sites out there, but yours is the most concise and consistently thought provoking. Thank you for this service. 9 Sep 00

Just a note of thanks for the Bible Studies you provide. They have transformed my Wednesday study group! The most reluctant member has turned into the most enthusiatic member and has a very tactful way of keeping things on track! Thank you so much! I can't begin to tell you have much we all have learned and what a difference it has made in the way we respond to the readings and sermon insights at the mass! God bless you for the way you all have made scripture come alive for so many people. 28 Aug 00

Yours is an excellently organized and well laid-out site! I am amazed at how much work has been put into it. Thank you! 8 Aug 00

I would like to congratulate and thank you for the beautiful website. Keep it up! God Bless. 7 Aug 00

I found this site on the web thru egroup http://church-renovations@egroups.com. It is really a fine web site. I took the tour. A really beautiful church. It certainly gives me hope for the future of The Catholic Church in America. 13 Jul 00

What a wonderful web site - beautiful and full of important information - especially the apologetics. Your parish is truly blessed - thank you. 6 Jul 00

Father Noone, I suppose you are responsible for the bible studies for this site. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME (that's 3). I love studying Jewish/ Catholic links. This is my first day to this web site, and I was led to the Sunday Bible studies. Our Jewish heritage is not talked about as much as it should be, in my opinion. I was thrilled to see that you explain every detail of the Old Testament. I still don't know a lot, but I am learning. I will be visiting this web site frequently. 2 Jul 00

I have visited your site and found it a marvelous place to stop by and peruse. The site is put together very nicely and contents lots of information. Congratulations on a job well done. 2 Jul 00

I love your comments about the Sunday readings and gospel. Your help brings so much clarity and modern-day understanding to what was written so very long ago. Thank you. 2 Jul 00

I don't know who your priest or bishop is over there -- but MORE POWER TO THEM !!!! You guys really have your act together! 24 Jun 00

Thank you for the excellent work of making the Catechism of the Catholic Church available on-line. 22 Jun 00

Hi, May I thank you for a wonderful site? It is certainly one of the better catholic sites I have found while browsing. 21 May 00

I just wanted to thank you for the invitation to take a tour of your new Church! I thought it was simple but so beautiful, particularly the Sanctuary. The Tabernacle and all of the Angels are just as I picture them when reading the Bible. The Garden looks so peaceful! I visit your site frequently. 2 Apr 00

Thank you so much for keeping us informed of your New Church. Please convey my heartiest congratulations to your parish priest, your parishioners and your co-workers for the Kingdom of God for this wonderful fruition of your zeal and love for our Lord, in cooperation with the wishes of our Blessed Mother. I am impressed and I am amazed. Thanks for bringing me on the virtual tour. I feel like I have been there, I wish I could be there... The effort and love that your parish priests and his band of merry men (people like yourself) are obvious in the care and attention to detail taken, in the design of your web-site and your church. Of course, there is no limit to improvements and you can always strive to make it better. The Lord will certainly inspire you and teach you more and more things, so long as you continue to desire and work towards making Him known to all and sundry, harnessing the power of mass media in every way possible. Once again, please accept my utmost congratulations for your new church and ardent prayers for the continued growth of your church (as in the people who form the church). May the Lord be praised and blessed for this wonderful gift of faith and worship!! May our Blessed Mother continue to guide you and May the Holy Spirit continue to inspire you in all your endeavours to further the Kingdom of God, for His greater glory. 2 Apr 00

I have been visiting your site for over a year now and I am taking this opportunity to thank you for an excellent and informative resource. In particular, I make use of the Bible Study section and this gives me a better appreciation of the readings and gospel each week. The Point Papers and FAQ's are very useful too. I live in Grimsby, which is a fishing port on the east coast of England... Despite spending many hours attempting to find a website equivalent to yours here in England, I have not been able to find any that are anywhere near as comprehensive as yours... Before I sign off, I saw in your recent bulletin that you are about to celebrate your new church building; I hope all goes well and I'm sure it will be a blessing for you all. Thanks once again for a superb Catholic resource on the 'net and God Bless you all. 27 Mar 00

Hello. Greetings from a Roman Catholic in Ohio. I just had to thank you for your wonderful site. I use it several times a week for the online Douay Bible... Just today I clicked in on an apologist paper "Call no man Father". I just had to tell you how much I appreciate it. I have matured in my faith though utilizing it. ThankYOU!!! 17 Mar 00

I stumbled across your website and found it fantastic. I am mailing it to all my friends - your booklet I'm glad you asked is sensational! Thank you for this labor of love. Keep up the good work!!! 15 Mar 00

Your website is first rate! 8 Mar 00

I was on your website today, and I found it most impressive! I thoroughly enjoyed browsing on the different areas and categories. Please keep up the good work! 8 Mar 00

I am a campus minister in Buffalo, NY, who has been using your bible study section as a resource all semester. It really has improved my sessions by giving me more background... God bless your ministry :) 28 Feb 00

Just wanted to say that you have a fantastic web-site, there is so much in there to check out, and it surely is a place I am going to come back to visit, and am spreading the good news to my computer friends and am sure they will enjoy it as I have. God love and bless your wonderful aposolate. 16 Feb 00

I thank you for your wonderful and inspiring site. It is such a pleasure to be able to use the many prayers that are before me so early in the morning. I am certain that this site will be helpful in bringing souls back to the Church. 15 Feb 00

Just wanted to thank you for the Catechism online. Wonderfully presented. 5 Feb 00

Your web site is really one of the most wonderful out there!! Congratulations. I will link to it (I don't understand why I never did that before). Pax Domini Vobiscum! - CATHOLIC INSIGHT 4 Feb 00

Just a note to thank you for your Bible Study section. I am an RCIA Leader in Miami, Florida. This section is extremely helpful in preparing the weekly RCIA Sessions. Your website is excellent. Please keep up the good work, it is truly heaven sent! God Bless You! 23 Jan 00

What an excellent web site! So much good material! We are a RC snowbird couple from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, spending the winter in Panama City Beach, FL. I was looking for a Catechism on line and yours is excellent. May the Lord give his blessing to you and yours. 24 Nov 99

Just wanted to say thanks for your entire website and for the information regarding St. Francis prayer. I am not Catholic and was not definite as to whether the St. Francis prayer was from Francis of Assisi or perhaps Francis De Sales, your website cleared up my confusion. 23 Oct 99

Your on-line information is most welcome and helpful. I passed on the web site to our church and school. I've been a Catholic Christian since birth but recently have come closer to our Lord, through Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. I just wanted to thank you and your Church parisioners for this most wonderful Catholic web site. 21 Oct 99

Thank you for refreshing my heart with the truth about Jesus' teachings in the Catholic church! Praise his name! I was raised a Catholic and truly believe the teachings. For a while I was astray ( 8 years ) but now I am back on track. My wife follows the teachings of the old testament like the Jews did and she tried to convert me. My heart was so confused!!!! ( Water and Oil don't mix !!!! ) For a while I started to believe that if I didn't follow the law death would be in my future instead of life. I finally told my wife that I don't believe this which was very hard but with prayer she understands.Because I have been out of the church for a while this page has refreshed my mind and heart. I just want to say thank you and God bless!!! 16 Oct 99

I live in Raleigh, NC and ever since I first stumbled upon your website I have returned several times a week. I am particularly fond of the Devotional section and Patron saints. I have also enriched myself int he catechism section. Thank you for your wonderful ministry and the service you have given me. May God Bless you abundantly. 5 Oct 99

This is a fantastic site! The search functions are very useful. I'm already sending associates excerpts from the Catechism. Great Job! 5 Oct 99

I'm from Gulfport, MS. The first thing we were given as we were about to start our RCIA sessions was a copy of your book. It meant a great to me and still does. I guess the part that meant the most to me was the "once saved, always saved." I agree with you that it could be very tragic doctrine...it was for me for many years. I love the RCIA and am most especially looking forward to Easter of 2000. 2 Oct 99

Just when I thought I had found so many ultimate Catholic/Christian sites, I came across your Homilies! The explanations of the bible verses were quite possibly the most plausible and lucid translations I have ever heard. Most surprising was the fact that I never had been able to understand the parables as I would and should have understood them until reading your most helpful interpretations. Thanks very much and please, please continue this most remarkable web site! 30 Sep 99

Hi, I live in north Texas in a little town called Lindsay. I just happened to kind of stumble upon your site and I really enjoyed it, especially the Words of Wisdom and the Prayers. Keep up the good work! 7 Sep 99

Dear Father Noone, You have a great website! Yours is the best parish website I've ever seen. Congratulations! 1 Sep 99

What a GREAT site. It makes me even more proud to be a Catholic to see such work in such a clear and concise order with sooooo many questions addressed!!! Thank you and know that I will tell others about it! God Bless all of you. 31 Aug 99

I was converted to Catholic in 1968, I had simple instructions from [my] parish for six weekends. Maybe RCIA wasn't around then. After that I had no one to guide or monitor me, as I struggled on, looking for Jesus and to follow Him. I was totally lost. It did not take long, I drifted to the opposite direction, away from God. Until, after I had a dream of Mother Mary in 1994. She brought me came back to the church. I found your web site thru: http://www.archway.org.my. After having gone thru a few pages, I feel like crying. (I am 56 year old.) You have revealed to me more than my eyes can see for it also touched my heart. I praise and thank God for people like you and your whole parish. Keep up the fantastic work. May God bless you all forever. 20 Jun 99

Thank you for your wonderful webpage and all the interesting history and theology, you are to be commended. We need to have more knowledge of the Church taught to our catholic people in order for them to understand and defend their faith against the well meaning evangelists of other Christian churches who seem so ready. 10 Jun 99

I 'stumbled' onto your site looking for information on a particular saint. Wow! Working with adults seeking to learn more about this glorious Catholic faith (RCIA) and also the de facto leader for a Sunday night Scripture study based on next Sunday's readings, your site is certainly a God send. May Yahweh be praised for moving your parish in this direction. Your brother in Christ, Michael

What a great resource you folks have provided, not only to the Catholic community, but to everyone having even the slightest interest in religion! My personal thanks and congratulations to everyone who participated in this project. I believe that it is by far and away the best site on the web!! We will pass your URL on to our children and grandchildren with all our love! Thank you again! 29 May 99

My daughter has been diagnosed with breast cancer & must undergo surgery. We pray every Saturday at Mass to St. Peregrine for cancer victims. Since my daughter's problem surfaced, I wanted to know more about the Saint. I could find almost nothing. I didn't know how to spell his last name, but another daughter found your web site. What I'm trying to say is thanks for being there. You're on my favorites list and I'll be using you a lot. Best to you. 26 May 99

I can't believe it has taken me so long to find what I have been looking for, for years. Just by accident did I find you. Thank you so much. I have already printed the Bible Study for Sundays readings, so I'm really be prepared for Mass and father's homily. Peace of Christ. 15 May 1999

I use your site frequently ... as a returning Catholic I need the information you provide such as the newest Catechism, prayers I almost forgot .. encouragement etc. Thank You so much, please continue. 14 May 1999

Thank you for making such an informative and uplifting web site available. I have just been baptized, and am about to begin assisting in our parish's RCIA program. I was quite thrilled to see the Catechism of the Catholic Church on your site. I have the book, but to be able to search it is marvelous. 30 April 1999

I just wanted to let you know that I am finding your site very helpful. I am not a member of the Catholic Church and I am looking in to your faith. I have been searching for a church that I feel is right for me. I have been raised in a family that is Protestant. But the only thing that was not tolerated in the family is someone cutting down another religion. I have attend many different Protestant churches and have not found one that I wish to say I belong to. I have even looked into the LDS church but I really do not agree with alot of what they teach. I just want to thank you for this web site. 20 April 1999

I have recently started attending church again and feel a little lost. I did not go for a couple of years and now I can't figure out why I ever stopped. I am trying to learn as much as possible and thought I would try the net. Thank you for taking the time to make a site that is so easy to use and informative. May God Bless You. 3 April 1999

I have been enjoying your site this morning and could not leave without telling you what a great site it is. Your artwork is beautiful and I especially like your St. page and prayers. God Bless 13 March 1999

What a great site. A work of art in world of too much trash. Yours is a what is needed to assist all God loving people, who need all the help we can get. Thanks to John Meyer for a great donation. I will pray for him and his needs. I shall return to such a great resource. 7 March 1999

I teach English as a foreign language to teenagers and adults. One of my students recently asked me for the Hail Mary in English. I thought I could give him a little more than that. I've copied and printed out two pages of the prayers you have here - including, of course!, the English version of the prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Thanks for making this resource available, and God bless! 24 February 1999

Praise God!!! What a marvelous job your parish is doing, standing out as a beacon for the full truth of the Catholic faith. We want to lend our talent to present the teachings of the Church to the world, correcting all those misrepresentations and misconceptions which unfortunately many ill-doctrinally formed Catholics themselves have landed in. By doing so, we are preventing further fragmentation of the Body of Christ Keep up the good WORKS!! 13 February 1999

This is a wonderful resource - I am learning a great deal about Catholicism, not yet confirmed, and your site is helping to strengthen my faith. 7 February 1999

From a technological and design standpoint it is very well crafted. From a content standpoint, it is no less than inspiring. 17 December 1998

I just want to say "Thank You" to you. I have searched the web for several months looking for a seasons calendar. I got it from you tonight. Thank you so very much for having this available. Thank You. 16 October 1998

This is no doubt, in my opinion, the one of the best Catholic sites on the web. It has been put together in an excellent format. The information contained on this site is outstanding, especially the links. May Jesus, Mary & Joseph smile upon all those associated with the establishment of this beautiful site. God Bless All. 10 August 1998

This is the simplest most elegant web site I have found for simple fundamentals and need to know information about the Catholic faith. I have over 200 bookmarks of Catholic Sites, and this will be the one I reccomend allong with Catholic Answers, EWTN real audio library and Hahn links. THANK YOU!!! 13 July 1998

I just have to let you know how much I appreciate this WONDERFUL site. It says a great deal about your dedication to the faith and your spirit as a parish. I don't think the heirarchy realizes how hard it is to minister to a Southron Protestant, but thanks to your page, I've got two considering the Church right now. God Bless You ALL!!!! 24 June 1998

Thank you for your web page. I found your " ...Truths..." page while trying to find information on the Carthusians. (The most information I could find was on their liquor "elixier" they sell and that was on a web-catalogue page!) The clarifying information on the pages about the church teachings is particularly pertinent for today. Earlier, I selected something from a list of catholic sources and it turned out to be what they called a deliverence message. It was very anti-Catholic and showed how twisted some interpretations can be. Kind of scary for me to read. I also read a number of your saints and devotional pages also. God Bless and thank you for being a presence on the web. 18 June 1998

This is a very nice site to visit and a great example of what a parish website can do to promote the Catholic faith. 10 Jun 1998

I am very glad our church presented the truth as they did in this booklet. It has proven invaluable at various times for me. The authors are to be commended. Thank you. 29 May 1998
