Plenty of good Catholic websites already exist, catering to everybody from Catholic singles to legal students to political junkies. But no site provides a "whole Catholic" experience, a kind of safe harbor, base camp and source of refreshment in daily life that the local parish one provided. eCatholic Hub provides this comprehensive environment:
-It is intimate and personal. Site visitors go and come privately, taking exactly what they need and giving only what they can, without pressure.
-It is also communitarian. The site is deliberately oriented toward encouraging discussion, interaction, problem-solving by finding ways to help others and seek help oneself, and mutual support.
-It is formative. One of the most urgent problems in the Church is the number of Catholics who have very good will but also a lot of ignorance about what being "Catholic" means and entails. The site provides the resources and tools - in an inviting way - for Catholics to deepen their faith spiritually, through practical action,and intellectually.
What distinguishes eCatholic Hub is (1) the range, depth and quality of services, with mechanisms in place to allow Catholics themselves to help keep the site and its services truly Catholic; and (2) its easy application to the specific needs of local diocese and communities.
