Dappled Things is, according to the "About" page on the Web site,
I find the wonderful mix of fiction, poetry, essays, art, and photography make of this magazine a delightful place to visit and rest a while... And the quality of the works presented is indeed high.
interparole-catholique-yvelines.cef.fr - This French Web site has all you need to build a beautifully illustrated yearly liturgical calendar to color, cut ut and assemble with your students. If you cannot read French, it would still be worthwhile to use a an online translator to make out the meaning of the sections "Pourquoi un calendrier liturgique ?" (Why a liturgical calendar) and "Tableau récapitulatif de l'année liturgique" (Summary table of the liturgical year). Both of these provide useful and interesting background information on how to help children understand the different liturgical seasons and feast days and their meanings. Catholic Social Teaching Resources I was recently invited to take a look at http://www.educationforjustice.org. I was quite impressed with the amount and quality of the resources available on this Web site. The press release I include below gives a good description of what it offers. A small donation is normally requested to access most of the material
on the site, but upon request by email (see details in the press
release), you can obtain a 30 free trial period. I highly recommend
that you take advantage of this offer. It is well worth the small PRESS RELEASE: Educational Website Offers Catholic Social Teaching Resources Education for Justice (EfJ) is an online Catholic Social Teaching resource library with thousands of pages of resources on more than 50 justice topics, such as poverty, peace, environmental issues, and current events. All resources are based on Catholic social thought and the statements of the Vatican and the U.S. bishops on current issues are utilized in all materials. The member-based website, which requests a small donation for use of the site, is offering 30 days free for new member who would like to try the website out. They can sign up simply by emailing efj@coc.org. Catholic school teachers, religious educators, parishes, colleges, and individuals can access articles, reflection/discussion guides, fact sheets, bulletin inserts, personal prayer experiences, interactive activities for groups, lectionary reflections, and more at www.educationforjustice.org . The Catholic News Service recently posted the following article about EfJ in its News Briefs on April 3, 2006: Web site applies Catholic social teaching to contemporary issues
All Catholics should know about this superb website, which has helped thousands of Catholics become knowledgeable about Catholic Social Teaching, an important but often neglected aspect of the Catholic faith. See also: Social Justice and Peace - Resources for Catholic Educators
