Though miles physically separate the Roman Catholic Churches in the South Atlantic, they can all be reached with the click of a mouse, now that Monsignor McPartland, the Prefect Apostolic for all the Parishes represented in the ocean, has launched a Church website. A website for the Catholic Churches in the South Atlantic will go live just in time for Monsignor McPartland to announce it at Mass on Sunday.

NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC WEBSITE FOR THE SOUTH ATLANTIC

By J. Brock (SARTMA)

Fr. Doran and Fr. Carmack

Though miles physically separate the Roman Catholic Churches in the South Atlantic, they can all be reached with the click of a mouse, now that Monsignor McPartland, the Prefect Apostolic for all the Parishes represented in the ocean, has launched a Church website.  A website for the Catholic Churches in the South Atlantic will go live just in time for Monsignor McPartland to announce it at Mass on Sunday.

Located at: http://www.SouthAtlanticRCchurch.com, the site links St. Mary’s Parish in the Falkland Islands with St. Joseph’s on Tristan da Cunha, Sacred Heart on St. Helena and the Grotto of Our Lady on Ascension Island.

At the moment, there is basic information and some photos on all of the Parish websites – facts, history, photo section, map, etc.  However, as time goes by there will be more information and photographs added to each site.  Monsignor McPartland will be able to update the site so that all of the content can be current and correct.

While there will be some glitches in the first few weeks, please feel free to visit the site, send in your comments and enjoy!

Website Design and Development at: http://www.wddonline.com constructed the site.
