I’ve compiled a collection of resources for anyone that’s interested in Catholicism, I have tried as best as I can to ensure that all resources linked are free. When it comes to books, I would recommend checking in with your local library or local Catholic Church. I’ve tried to cover main aspects that people interested in Catholicism are likely to want to check out, whilst also hopefully not being overwhelming.

If you have any questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me and I will try my best to help. And likewise I’d also recommend doing searches on some of these websites and Youtube channels linked - because they likely go into a lot more depth on all kinds of topics.

You are more than welcome to share this compilation of resources elsewhere. I only ask that if you’ve benefitted from this resource or appreciate the work put in, that you please keep me in your prayers. I’m not responsible for any of the resources linked here, I have only compiled ones that I think would be useful for those considering the faith.
