We have over 30 different contributors who provide content on our blogging platform. If you have an idea you want to blog about, or a post you want to share please just let us know. We would love to add it in. As we launched, we incorporated both the “REAL Ministry Blog” by John Rinaldo and the “Catholic Youth Ministry Blog” by Scott Miller.  This made us one of the largest Catholic Youth Ministry Blogging platforms from the very start.

• Catholic Saints - Here is a list of the saint pages available on American Catholic.org. New pages are being added daily. 

• Busted Halo - Under the direction of Fr. Dave Dwyer, CSP, Busted Halo® Ministries helps young adults explore their spirituality, listen to and encourage one another, discover (or re-discover) the rich depths of Catholic tradition, and connect to communities of faith where their unique gifts will be respected and used, and where they will find support on their journey towards God. We also promote ministry to-by-and-for young adults in Catholic parishes and dioceses across the United States and Canada. We help local communities of faith better incorporate those in their 20s and 30s into the lay mission of the Church in society. 

• LIFE TEEN, Inc. - Life Teen is an international Catholic ministry that serves the Church and leads teens closer to Christ by providing resources and training that encourage vibrant Eucharistic celebrations and opportunities for teens to grow in their faith.

• Young Life and Catholic Youth - As an interdenominational ministry, Young Life is committed to honoring the broad spectrum of Christian faith traditions in which our young people were raised– Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, mainline ,etc. Young Life has great respect for God’s work in kids’ hearts long before their involvement in our mission, and we encourage every young person to be involved in their local parish.
