CathSpace is new. There has never been anything even remotely like CathSpace in the Church, and even in the wider world it’s pretty innovative.

CathSpace’s aim is to help people who are trying to do their best to be Catholic in the modern world. It’s a place where they can talk, share their life, share their passions, connect with others who are on a similar journey. Hopefully that’s someone down the road in your local parish or school, but, equally, it could be someone from the other side of the planet.

It takes seriously the fact that Catholics live in a world full of non-Catholic stuff – a lot of which is great, some of which is questionable and a bit of which is downright nasty. Sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference.

CathSpace is about exploring all of this, not just "churchy" stuff. If you want to talk about the new Holden V6 or the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy then hopefully there’s a place on CathSpace to do that.

CathSpace encourages users to create and maintain a personal profile which is then linked to all the communities to which the user belongs. They can create a family profile, link with their current or old school, link with classmates, form groups, link with friends, explore issues of justice, peace and the environmemt, prepare for World Youth Day.

Everyone who has any association with the Catholic Church.

Step 1: Register for CathSpace

This will give you a personal profile which you can edit, upload photos and documents to, write blogs, map your favourite local hangouts and generally be as creative as you like. Your profile will have its own URL - www.[your username].cathspace.com. To register - click here..

Once you're registered you can opt to do lots of different things.

Option A: Find Your Communities

Now you're a registered user you can link your profile to the communities you are part of. These may be a parish community, or your current or former school, or special community which may be linked to a religious order or ministry activity.

Go to the community page and see what you can find.

There are lots of ways you can help with development of CathSpace and its mission to evangelise and build Catholic culture. The main way is by using it yourself, getting your friends and family to use it, promoting it in your school or parish and generally telling everyone you know how wonderful it is!

If you want to do more and you have both the time and energy to get involved there's a wide range of voluntary roles which we are keen for people to take on. To volunteer send an email to volunteer@CathSpace.com . Volunteer roles may include:

moderation of text, links and images;
data entry which will allow us to offer CathSpace to other Catholic communities in our current countries or others around the world;
translation of the system into other languages;
editing and data entry of news items and Catholic links information;
preliminary work on our special projects - Cathopedia and CathBible;
helping other users, parishes and schools to better use the system;
or suggest your own.

If you are an artist, writer, film/video producer, musician or a creative person who defies categorisation and would like to show off your work on CathSpace then add the material to your profile and let us know or email it to us directly at contribute@CathSpace.com
