This August, The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in Merrimack, New Hampshire, will put on an “intensive three-day retreat” specifically aimed at “those seeking to spread the perennial truths of the Catholic Church through the new media.”
“Christ and the New Media” will feature talks and panels with Alejandro Bermudez, editor of the Catholic News Agency; Phil Lawler, Editor of CatholicCulture.org; Tony Assaf, Editor of the Arabic Edition of Zenit News; and John and Ashley Noronha, of H2oNews.org.
From the Thomas More College press release:
“Pope Benedict XVI has called on the faithful, especially priests, to utilize the new media and new means of communication to serve the Church and spread the Gospel,” said Thomas More College President William Fahey. “By bringing together a team of professionals who are among the leaders in this new and developing field, Thomas More College is advancing a valid and effective instrument for authentic and profound evangelization and communion.”…
“There exists a tremendous—and largely untapped—opportunity to spread the Gospel through the world of digital communications,” added Fahey. “By attending the Christ & the New Media Program, priests and laymen alike will be better able to employ the latest generation of technology to advance the Church’s mission of evangelization and catechesis.
