The Latin Patriarchate of Aboud also has a web page describing life in Aboud, but it also indicates some of the confusion over churches: http://www.lpj.org/lpsaboud.html

The Churches of Aboud web page provides a thumb-nail description of the churches of Aboud. http://www.al-bushra.org/latpatra/churches.htm
