The Priest in the Digital World
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Saturday, May 15, 2010
We have been savoring and discussion Pope Benedict XVI’s annual message for World Communications Day since its release on January 24, but tomorrow is actual the time to celebrate World Communications Day. In light of the video below and the Holy Father’s call this year for our priests to “respond pastorally by putting the media ever more effectively at the service of the Word”, I thought I’d pose the following questions:
How are your parish and diocese responding to the call to employ new media such as blogging, social network, and podcasting in spreading the good news? I would love specific examples of success stories. Also, who are some of your favorite examples of priests who “get” what they are being called to do with this message?

A Day in the Life
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Saturday, March 13, 2010
Kudos to Fr. Nels Gjengdahl for creating this amazing video showing a “Day in the Life” of a Catholic priest. Tools like this one, showing a happy man who serves others but also visits with friends, loves hockey, and even plays video games are likely the most effective way to reach out to young men who may be called to future priestly vocations. I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Fr. Nels Gjengdahl personally, but want him to know that I’m praying for him and his brother priests every day, as well as those who might be called to a vocation thanks to his creative outreach efforts. Nice work, and thanks to the CNS blog where I first discovered the video.
Bishop's Show and Tell

This week, I had the tremendous good fortune to take part in a “Clergy Communications Workshop” for the priests of my home diocese. Our goal as a presenting team was to provide tools for our priests, to equip them in their response to this year’s World Communications Day Message issued in January by our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.
