Here are some Web sites specially chosen for reluctant Webmasters still feeling timid about putting up a Web site of their own:

“Catholic Exchange Can Build Your Parish Web Site — For Free!” so claims Catholic Exchange (catholicexchange.com/parishinfo). They'll not only build it, but host it, too — for free. They'll even throw in their Web portal information.

Liturgical Publications of St. Louis' Catholic Community Forum (catholicforum.com/community.h tml) offers free personal, church or organization Web sites. Build your site with their Web-page creation tool, accessible through your browser.

Catholic Life (diocese.net) has a similar setup with their “Page Creator” tool. They invite churches, schools and organizations to create a free Web site.

How about creating an EZWeb site for free with CatholicWeb.com (catholicweb.com/about_services.cfm) Free personal sites are available for CatholicWeb community members (membership is also free). For churches, dioceses, schools, missions, etc., they offer a free, professional EZWeb site. They say: “Anyone can do it and no special training, html knowledge or complicated software installation is required for you to build a professional, dynamic and engaging Web presence.”

This still isn't enough to get you evangelizing and catechizing on the Web? Go to my “Free Web Sites” category in my online Catholic directory at monksofadoration.-org/freesite.html and cast your net on the ’Net!
