There are many Catholics out there blogging about faith and prayer. Most are not "officially sanctioned" by anyone, but they offer a view of a new mission to spread the word of God to the world on the internet.

Here are some I have visited recently that warrant a look:

American Papist by Tom, a theology student. Tom digs into the stories of the day and provides lots of reference for digging on your own.

Fr. Stephanos, OSB has two blogs of note. Monkallover is his stories blog and 1monk details his homilies on a regular basis.

Happy Catholic, is the blog of a convert, Julie. Find information on new books and blogs on religion, religious topics and prayer requests here.
