We don’t ask often. But we need your help in a very special way right now.
We are in the midst of exciting projects that can have an enormous impact on reaching the millions of youth all over the world who are dropping out of an active life of faith. But we have come to the end of our resources and need immediate assistance.
Here are our goals:
1) 100 more people to pledge a dollar per day -- $30 per month
You can do it online right here, by phone at 800-803-0118, or by mailing a check to Crossroads, PO BOX 271227, Flower Mound, TX 75027.
Yes, there are lots of ministries and charities. But don’t you think the spiritual future of our youth is a top priority?
Faithfully in Christ,
Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio and the Crossroads Board, Staff and Volunteers

Taking Aim at the Tough Issues: Sex, Abortion, War and Capital Punishment - CD A lot of people skirt the difficult issues. In this hard hitting series of two talks, Marcellino D'Ambrosio takes dead aim at the most controversial of moral issues sharing the wisdom of the Catholic tradition in a way that makes eminent sense.
In the first talk entitled "Sex and the Theology of the Body," he lays down some basic principles that provide answers for all the tough sex questions including homosexual marriage and contraception.
In the second talk, "Matters of Life and Death," he shows why there is a great difference between such issues as abortion and euthanasia on the one hand and capital punishment and war on the other.
Often, discussions of these issues generate more heat than light. This series, appropriate for both adults and teens, is refreshingly different.

We have assembled on this website Catholic resources to help all Christians unpack the precious gift of the Eucharist. Our resources are delivered via audio, video, written, and electronic formats as well as through live seminars. They are appropriate for individual and group study, adult faith formation, RCIA, home schooling and teen religious education covering as they do the Eucharist, the theology of the body to Catholic Bible Study, the sacrament of confirmation and the Early Church Fathers. There are many wonderful Catholic websites out there. We believe that this site is distinctive both because of a unique collection of resources in our on-line Catholic store, and because the entire site is so user-friendly, with easy navigation, a fast search function, and many PDF files ready to download, print and use as religious education handouts.
