There are many Catholic web sites that offer information, prayer support, and other services. The number and variety are many. We will continue to focus on those that seem appropriate for our Faith Community. _________________________________________________________________________

A special opportunity for prayer requests...A Virtual Holy Land Pilgrimage
NAZARETH, Israel, MAY 20, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Faithful worldwide can now take a tour of the Basilica of the Annunciation in Jerusalem, and receive a personal blessing from a priest, without ever leaving home.
A new Web site -- www.mirezo.com -- allows visitors to make a virtual pilgrimage to the Basilica, and with an offering of $10 the pilgrim will receive a personal blessing from a priest in a live Web cast from the church.
The virtual visitor can watch the priest at the Basilica lighting the candle at the main altar, and then personally bless the pilgrim. The Web cast can be saved on a Web account.
"Mi rezo" is Spanish for "my prayer."
The money received from the donations of the users will go to the Catholic community in the city of Nazareth, whose inhabitants include Israelis and Palestinians, Christians, Muslims and Jews.
