• Father Robert Barron A prolific young theologian out of Chicago - there are videos and written stuff galore on the site. I've met him several times at the Cardinal's residence in Chicago. His material is syndicated in the Catholic Press (I see it regularly in my home diocese's newspaper) and recently viewed one of his MANY videos. He teaches at the Chicago diocesan seminary in Mundelein IL.
• MEMORIAL DAY HISTORICAL ITEMS
• MOUNTAIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND an offshoot of Father Ralph Beiting's work in Appalachia, this is where you can purchase really wonderful Christmas wreaths, among other things, as well as assist the people of an otherwise poor region in sustaining themselves and sharing their talents with our world.
• NATIONAL FEDERATION OF PRIEST COUNCILS (NFPC) the only national organization of and for Catholic Priests in the United States - I had the privilege of working in the national office in Chicago from 1987 to 1989.
• Newman Center SIU-C alumni

• THE ABBEY OF GETHSEMANI Thomas Merton's spiritual home, the place to find Father Matthew Kelty's homilies, and also great cheese, fudge and fruitcake from the knob country of Kentucky, and where you can also learn about the oldest Trappist Monastery in the United States.
• The Art of Tom Stahlmach
• THE BREAST CANCER SITE a place where you can help fund research and action for breast cancer, the environment, animal rescue, world hunger and children in need ... by clicking daily and by perhaps also supporting the advertisers who fund the site.
• THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY 'nuff said! 
• THE CHEESEKEEPER Belleville Illinois' premier gourmet shop - ask for the Danish Cream Cheese. (This is an email address only.)
• THE INTERNATIONAL SHOAH ART MUSEUM My friend, Akiva Segan, has done art since the early 70s, but recently has dealt with the Shoah (Holocaust). His deeply spiritual pictures reflect his Jewish roots and evoke haunting emotional responses. His artistic touch attempts to redeem this sad moment of history and serves also to teach us us about tolerance, empathy and grace.
• THE NEWMAN CENTER SIU-C the Catholic presence on the campus of Southern Illinois University and the place where I spent fifteen years of ministerial life in the 70s and 80s is still vibrant and growing today.
