ALL THE NEW URLS we receive each week are here. We list two (sometimes three) weeks' worth, cycling the old ones off each week. As they disappear from this page, you'll find the links moved to their natural home categories in our resource pages.

If you can't find something that was once here, try the AO search engine. It searches our entire site, and it can also search all of the sites that we link to.

Exchanges
This week's new notice (see the link above for all the current listings):
A priest in charge of a small congregation in the south side of Glasgow, Scotland is looking for an exchange for two or three weeks in September 2001. He says: 'You would provide a Sung Eucharist at 10am on Sunday. If you were really generous, you would celebrate at 8.30am too! At most 50 communicants. You are welcome to live in our house, a little flat in the parish, with one double bedroom, a spare room with a double bed, a living/dining room, and small kitchen. Our car is available for touring. Loch Lomond is only 45 minutes away. In September we also host the Edinburgh Festival, and Edinburgh is 45 miles away. Glasgow is known as the European City of Culture, and European City of Architecture. There is lots to see and enjoy! We'd like some time in the States, a place to base ourselves, use of a car, and the opportunity for me to celebrate Mass on Sundays. Yes, we would jump at a place at the beach, or a lake, but beggars can't be choosers!' For more information, contact Kenneth Macaulay: kennethmacaulay@aol.com

Coleg y Groes: A small retreat house in North Wales, under the auspices of the Church in Wales but open to all. It is managed by two priests in the Church in Wales, who write: 'Together with 14 'companions', we form the Community of Coleg y Groes; in English 'College of the Cross'. 'College' refers to the 18th-century former almshouses that make up the retreat house; we're not an educational establishment!' It looks a delightful place. -- http://www.colegygroes.co.uk
