For this month's picks, we will concentrate on Catholic news sites.

Zenit, the Catholic news service at zenit.org, titles its Web site “The World Seen From Rome.” Here you will find Catholic news in six different languages. Choose among the latest news, daily news dispatches, weekly news analysis and Church documents. You can search the news archive and sign up to receive news by e-mail as well.

Catholic World News at cwnews.com has the current day's news of interest to Catholics. Archived news is organized by geographical continents and categories like “family.” Archival searching is available, too. Subscribers get complete Catholic news coverage, a headline digest from major secular news sources, commentaries, resources and more. Webmasters might be interested in looking into their free “News Ticker.”

The Vatican's Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples has an English-language news site at fides.org/eng. Here you can find “360° News,” meaning coverage from around the world.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has a news section at usccb.org/news/index.htm. The Vatican has its news services listed at vatican.va/news_services.

The Catholic Nexus at catholicnexus.com wants to be “Your Catholic Media Portal.”

Here you will find short summaries of news stories including their sources that you can click on to find out more.
