Welcome to the Catholic Church is uniquely designed to accommodate every type of user.  Our latest version now contains the Code of Canon Law and St. Thomas' Summa Theologica along with current documents from the Vatican and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Improvements to the program's interface are happening all the time so what you see now will likely improve in time with updates downloadable from this site. There is normally no cost for these application updates.

New content is being made available as downloadable additions. Already you can download from within Welcome to the Catholic Church the Imitation of Christ (no cost) and Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Encyclopedia as additional content. This means you will soon be able to integrate the entire text of our Early Church Fathers and Butler's Lives of the Saints with the already large volume of content available.

Perfect for bible study and catechetical purposes.  A catechist or CCD teacher would find the necessary resources for a wide variety of educational needs.  Priests will find ready access to classic and regularly-used church documents; seminarians will find themselves saving on textbook purchases!

The product is as beautiful as it is comprehensive, with an appreciation for the role that music, art and culture have always played in Catholic life.  It contains hundreds of illustrations by 19^th century artist James J. Tissot, along with hundreds of photographs depicting nature scenes, Stations of the Cross, Rosary, even the order of the Mass. The addition of sacred music by the renowned chant chorale Schola Pacifica results in a beautiful, even reverent presentation of the material.

This multimedia presentation provides a comprehensive guide to the Catholic Church.  More than 120,000 hyperlinks connect two Bible translations, all the Vatican II documents, hundreds of other Church documents, the Sources of Catholic Dogma, 3-volumes of Saint's Lives, and 3,000 pages of Moral Theology. This inspiring collection contains over 20 volumes enhanced with 1,300 illustrations and liturgical music clips.
