Scot Landry Provides Training and Template for Transforming Parish Communications

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

Since I’ve spent over eight years serving in a part time and volunteer capacity at my parish as the webmaster, I know firsthand both the vast potential and the difficult perils that face parishes hoping to embrace social media in the New Evangelization. Here at the blog, I have the facility to be vastly more nimble in my decision making and implementation than I can in our parish setting. Yet this does not mean that my parish is doomed to...

I am truly enjoying the work being done by Salt and Light TV at the Synod. To find out the highlights of what happened today, take fifteen minutes and watch this video. It includes a fascinating conversation with Cardinal Pell and a review of the day’s testimonies. Sebastian Gomes shares with us highlights from Day 2: Cardinal Sodano makes a special announcement about the Church’s response to the Middle East, a summary of the major themes developing at the Synod,...

#Synod14: Why I Care & What I’m Watching

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Lisa M. Hendey

I did a radio segment this morning about the Extraordinary Synod on the Family, currently ongoing at the Vatican. In preparation for the segment, I reached out to a few groups of friends both online and in “real life” to ask if they were watching the Synod. I was a bit surprised by their answers. Some had no idea what I was talking about. Some said they were intentionally not tuning in for a variety of reasons. Some answered with... Read more

Bill Schmitt & I “Love Thee Notre Dame”

This weekend, I get to take a trip with my college sweetheart (and hubby) back to the place where we fell in love. The excuse for our excursion may be the tickets we’re holding to see Notre Dame defeat Stanford (we hope!) on the gridiron, but while we’re on campus we’ll revisit many places that are dear to us. In the few hours before and after the game, we’ll definitely visit the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the Grotto and the... Read more

Even if You’re Not in ND or TN, Pay Attention to This Legislation

From Patti Armstrong this week at National Catholic Register comes important information on legislations in that states of Tennessee and North Dakota which could quickly establish unrestricted abortion in those states. Armstrong writes in part: Tennessee and North Dakota are launching a counteroffensive in the battle for life that could reverberate across the country.
