Frequently Asked Questions

Some tips to navigate the new website.

How many CL websites are there, and how can they be accessed?

There are five CL International websites published in five languages: English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and French.

Local national websites are also available on the new platform for Germany, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Spain (also in Catalan), Portugal, Poland, The Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic, Canada (in English), Canada (in French), the United Kingdom, and Argentina, Australia and New Zealand. All other national websites still remain on the old platform and can be accessed by clicking on the acronym USA in the upper right-hand corner and “National Websites” below.

How is the USA national website different to the English international website?

This website includes all the information related to the life of the movement in the United States: the events organised by the various communities in the US, our history, cultural presentations, testimonies, stories, news about the Catholic Church in the United States, and from around the world. It also includes the contact information for the USA Secretary Team and for local communities. The international content hosted on our site refers to the international website, as well as international news and publications, and the international magazine, Traces.

How do I know if I am surfing the national or the international web?

Navigation through the national website is generated automatically until you click on content that refers to the international site. A green box will then appear on the lower left side of the screen informing you that you have left the national site. To return to the national site, just click on the green box on the bottom left where it says: "You are browsing the international site", click there to return to the national site.

How can I return to the national site if I have closed the green box?

In that case, you must click on the acronym EN that appears in the upper right-hand side of the website, and then click on “National Websites” and choose United States to navigate back to the national site.
