I’m honored to have the opportunity again this year to speak at the wonderful Diocese of Fresno Relgious Education Congress on October 10, 2009.  Last year’s Congress was so well attended that this year’s event is being held at the Visalia Convention Center.  I will be speaking on the topic ““Catholic Parenting: Fulfilling Our Baptismal Calling in Households of Faith”.  I hope to meet you in October!  Registration Information.

I’m happy to share the good news that I will be attending this year’s Catholic New Media Celebration, hosted by the Star Quest Production Network.  Along with attending the conference and all of the festivities, I will be speaking on the topic “Apostles and Bloggers: How to Make an Amazing Blog”.  I’m calling upon all of my favorite Catholic bloggers to share their expertise on this topic and am looking forward to a fruitful discussion in San Antonio.  If you’re planning to be at this year’s CNMC, please drop me a note.  Hope to see you there!

I’m happy to share that I will be a part of the 20th Anniversary celebration at this year’s Diocese of Fresno Religious Education Congress!  My talks will include:

“Raising Faith Filled Children in Today’s Technological Climate”
“Nurturing Your Family’s Faith Life with 21st Century Resources”

Just in case you haven’t heard me talking about the CNMC enough, you can listen to this week’s episode of GrapeVine News Minute, where my great cyber-buddy Susan Bailey interviews me about the celebration.  We greatly enjoyed our conversation and I thought you might like to hear it as well!  While you’re at it, check out the newly redesigned Grapevine Website and leave Susan a little bit of encouraging feedback.  She’s doing a great job!

I’m happy to announce that I will be attending the Catholic New Media Celebration on June 22 in Atlanta, Georgia and I’d love for you to join me. This festive event will be held in conjunction with the Eucharistic Congress that takes place the day before in Atlanta, Georgia. Both events are free!

The Catholic New Media Celebration is going to be an unprecedented event in the history of Catholic media. The CNMC is a day to Learn, Share, and Explore how New Media can help the Catholic Church in the New Evangelization. I will be moderating the Catholic Bloggers panel, which will feature Amy Welborn, Jeff Miller and Mark Shea - what a thrill to be in the company of such talented writers! Registration for this great event is free . You won’t want to miss the tremendous lineup being assembled for this event and the chance to meet and visit with other Catholics who are engaged in the use of New Media. Click here for details.
