Saint Francis of Assisi

The Web Ministries team has recieved requests from parishoners to put together a section where the daily Mass readings could be reviewed.  With so many Catholic ministries devoted to reaching out using modern technology, we are happy to be able to bring you several ways to reflect on the scripture readings. 

Read the Bible on-line

Thanks to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, a beautiful website has been put together devoted to the New American Bible. In their cycle of programs they offer the Daily Mass Readings right at your fingertips.  Follow the menu selection that we created right off the St. Francis website or click the links found here:

Meditation & Prayer  >  Masses & Sermons  >  Daily Mass Readings  

Listen to the Daily Readings by PODCAST

Once again the Conference of Catholic Bishops comes through with the Daily Readings as a "podcast."  Click on the NAB Podcast picture on the left hand side of the Bishop's website, to see the entire page of offerings.   The link will take you to a list of choices that you can use to listen or even subscribe to feeds using an automated reader or an i-pod.  If you are not technology savvey, or just prefer to listen when ever you have a free moment while visiting the St. Francis website, click this link to pop-up an instant podcasting media player and enjoy:

Pop-up Podcast

Remember, you do need to have speakers connected to your computer to hear the readings.   If your Internet browser is blocking pop-ups, you will need to allow them for this site.  The NAB Podcast puts up a full week of readings, so you might need to click on the proper day of the week that you are seeking.

Preview of the Sunday Readings

 For Teenagers Only

This is a great Podcast website for young Catholics looking for a preview of the Sunday Mass readings.  The entire website, called Life Teen is geared toward serving teen Catholics and has lots of fun stuff to explore.  Those looking for a preview of the Mass readings and some commentary can check out this pop-up link and listen to "Sunday, Sunday, Sunday..."

Pop-up Podcast for Teens 

As we continue to get parishoner feedback, we will be adding scripture readinga and Mass reflections to this section.  We hope that the offereings here help to deepen your awaearness of God and provide you with a better understanding of daily Mass.
