'The Sunday Website’ is an international work of Saint Louis Jesuit University. It prepares site visitors for Sunday Mass by supplying the coming Sunday’s readings, prayers for contemplation on these readings, aspects of spirituality found in them, background information, general prayers of intercession and finally, musical pieces being played by selected parishes in North America and England. It is a really valuable resource for individuals, celebrants, homilists, liturgists and choir directors. Since Catholic and Anglican liturgies share many of the same readings throughout the year, this is a very valuable ecumenical resource.

The Lincoln Homilies Project is a resource that originated with the diocesan Liturgical Committee of the Church of England to resource parishes for Sunday (or weekday) worship. Many smaller congregations might not have regular access to a priest or reader, and so this resource was created to enable people to engage with the scriptures without a licensed and theologically trained leader.

The Catholic Kids project is an effort to produce high quality children’s content with the goal of educating younger children  in the basic tenets of their Faith. There are reflections for each Sunday's liturgy. Click here for next Sunday.
