Description

Catholics on Call is a vocational web site through the Bernardin Center at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. It is directed toward young adult men and women who may be considering a life of service in the Church or may be undecided and looking for direction.

Catholics on Call is funded by the Lilly Endowment Inc. which supports religion, education, and community development, giving a great deal of money to such organizations as Planned Parenthood and the Center for Population Options.

This site is contemporary, easily navigable and has definite eye appeal. But although some of the articles are well written and without error, we cannot recommend it.
