Salt of the Earth links

From the office of really official sounding disclaimers: The links below are intended as a convenient guide to some of the resources and ideas our visitors can find on the internet. Their listing at Claretian Publications' websites does not imply an endorsement of any of the sites listed below, nor can Claretian Publications be responsible—obviously—for materials found at these sites or any links associated with them. Now that we've got that out of the way, Happy surfing and do drop by our way again sometime.

*Please be advised: Recent "advances" in domain registration services have allowed "domain brokers" to buy up bulk orders of domain addresses as soon as they expire. As a result many web addresses previously held by religious, educational, or social justice web publishers have been acquired by domain brokers who often connect visitors to pornography or gambling sites. While we try to police our links as much as possible, as a result of this emerging technology, we cannot guarantee the "child safe" status of all the links below.
