McNamara’s Blog Gets Darted! 2009-02-03T12:16:00-07:00 Pat McNamara

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Yesterday I learned that the Premio Dardo blog award has been bestowed on McNamara’s Blog. Many thanks to Pentimento, whose lovely blog I admire for doing one of the noblest things we can: “working to create a culture of love and beauty on the web.” She kindly describes McNamara’s Blog as a “reverent treasure trove of lore about Catholic life in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century America.” Now if I understand the rules correctly, I’m supposed to pass an award on to fifteen other bloggers whose work I admire:

The Deacon’s Bench: I have to start with my “Blogfather,” Deacon Greg Kandra, who encouraged me to start this blog, and who showed me that blogs can actually be a form of ministry.
New Advent: Kevin Knight’s website is a great clearinghouse for Catholic blogs. Its other resources, including the 1911 Catholic Encyclopedia, are absolutely invaluable.
Dominican History: The Dominican Fathers have a great blog dealing with the history of their order, replete with videos, online lectures, oral histories, great pictures and great stories.
Whispers in the Loggia: Indispensable for current happenings at the highest levels of Church governance. I add my voice to the choir of thousands: “Where does he get this stuff?”
Charlotte was Both: I don’t know how Amy Welborn does it all: journalist, author, pioneer blogger, wife, mother. But she does it. And she does it very well.
Good Jesuit, Bad Jesuit: Lots of interesting Jesuit stuff, past and present. If he didn’t do it, who would?
Roman Catholic Vocations: If you’re going to promote vocations these days, you sure as h-e-double-hockey-sticks better have a blog. Always inspiring stuff on this one!
The Anchoress: I just like this lady’s blog an awful lot. I mean, to take the name the Anchoress: what a super idea! Really!
Pontifications: by journalist and author David Gibson Thoughtful, intelligent and compassionate.
Happy Catholic: Just because people need to know it’s fun being Catholic!
Bronx Catholic: For Gotham Catholics, this will help non-Bronxers learn more about the People of God in Yankeeland. Please… more pics!
Brooklyn Catholic: This blog looks at Catholic Churches in Brooklyn. Thank you, Brooklyn Catholic!
Catholic Churches of Manhattan: There’s a lot of beautiful churches with great histories on this island. This blog highlights them. Thank you!
A Nun’s Life: You’d think there would be more blogs like this on the web. So far, this is the only I’ve found that really works for me.
Pentimento: A true Catholic humanist. Once again, thanks for the interest and support!

If I’ve violated any of the rules, I apologize. But I do want to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the people whose work I admire an awful lot.
