Vatican
   The Holy See - www.vatican.va

This the Vatican's home page and is undoubtedly one of the most popular Catholic Web sites.  The old-fashioned word See in its title refers to the site or seat or centre of poser and authority in the Church.  Visitors are greeted with the Papal coat of arms and a picture of His Holiness Pope John Paul II.   

     Vatican Exhibit - http://sunsite.unc.edu/expo/vatican.exhibit/exhibit/Main_Hall.html

This the site of Rome Reborn:  The Vatican Library & Renaissance Culture, an exhibit at the Library of Congress.  It presents some 200 of the Vatican Library's most precious manuscripts, books, and maps, many of which played a key role in the humanist recovery of the classical heritage of Greece and Rome.

World Youth Day 2008

    Official site - http://www.wyd2008.org/index.php/en

Christ The King Parish will be involved and would like people to start thinking about how they may be able to contribute, participate and get something out of the event. There will be special events happening with the lead up to the event and there will be more information, such as hosting visitors to Sydney within our Parish. Its going to be bigger than the 2000 Olympics - Our Parish of Christ The King has a lot to offer and we are all looking forward to this wonderful occasion.
