A special thank you to Karen Jones and Publishers Weekly for sharing my comments in their recent article Can Mommy Bloggers Help Christian Children’s Book Sales?

I’m so excited to share the good news that tomorrow, 9/9 at 3 pm CT I will be appearing on the brand new “Digital Ministry Podcast” being hosted by Sr. Julie and Sr. Maxine from the great “A Nun’s Life” ministry. Please see the note below from Sr. Julie with all of the details – the show is recorded live and you’re welcome to call in with your questions and comments!

Digital Ministry Podcast – September 9, 2010
at 3:00 p.m. Central Time

Hi! This is Sister Julie and Sister Maxine from A Nun’s Life Ministry. Join us for the launch of The Digital Ministry Podcast on September 9, 2010, at 3 p.m. Central Time (UTC-5). The web event is free and open to the public. All you need is to be hooked up to the Internet. The event is broadcast live on our website at http://aNunsLife.org/LIVE. You can listen in and, if you wish, you can interact with us, our guest, and other listeners via the chat room on that web page.

Featured Guest: Lisa M. Hendey is the founder and editor of CatholicMom.com, a web site focusing on the Catholic faith, Catholic parenting and family life, and Catholic cultural topics. Lisa launched the website in 1999, and it has built it into a dynamic website with many offerings including Lisa’s blog, articles by a variety of columnists, podcasts, videos, and many resources on Catholic life, family, faith formation, and more. Additionally, the website is home to a Catholic Book Club and Catholic Music Spotlights.

Topics: Here’s a flavor of some of the topics we’ll discuss with Lisa Hendey.

How is digital ministry similar to and different from how we ordinarily think of “ministry”?
What are the major pieces of the digital ministry mix at CatholicMom.com?
“If you build it, will they come”? One thing is actually knowing what to get started (e.g. do a blog, get a Facebook account), another thing is actually getting people to come. What do you suggest?
Strategically where should people start with getting into social media? — just do it? create a plan and gather a committee? hope and pray a lot?

Your Questions: What questions do you have for Lisa Hendey or for us? You can send them to us ahead of time by replying to this email or you can write them in the chat room during the live broadcast.

Digital Ministry Podcast is a new podcast on using Internet technologies and social media for ministry. The podcast is a mix of things covering techniques, technology, and theology in order to enhance one’s capacity to do ministry, to witness to the Gospel in every day life on the Internet. We share our experience with blogs, podcasts, Facebook, Twitter, equipment, software, consultants and collaborators, books and resources, and interacting with people online. We also interview folks across the social media landscape who can provide expertise, insight, and concrete help on a variety of related topics.

Upcoming Episodes of “Digital Ministry” include guests Father Andy Alexander, SJ, and Ms. Maureen McCann Waldron, of Creighton University’s Online Ministries; Sister Christine Ereiser, OSB, the Twittering Nun; Avinash Kaushik, the ultimate guru of web analytics; and Father Robert Barron, a prominent theologian and podcasting priest.

April 1, 2010, Chicago, IL – Lisa M. Hendey, in her compelling first book, The Handbook for Catholic Moms: Nurturing Your Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul, collects the wisdom of her ten-year-old website, CatholicMom.com. Hendey will be promoting her new book in Chicago on Wednesday, April 14 from 6:30—8:30pm at Pauline Books & Media located at 172 N Michigan Avenue. This Mom’s Night Out event will allow Catholic “moms” to receive the encouragement they need in their most important vocation. After the event she will be available for a Meet and Greet.

Drawing from the deep tradition of the Catholic faith, Lisa Hendey coaches Catholic moms in how to care for themselves—heart, mind, body, and soul—so that they can better love and care for their families, their neighbors, and their Church. With warmth and wisdom, Hendey creates an environment where Catholic moms can reflect peacefully upon often-competitive topics like parenting style, types of schooling, and working outside the home. By sharing her own story, Hendey inspires readers to better balance their own needs with the demands of family life and faith commitment.

Lisa Hendey is a wife, mother, web designer, freelance writer, and the creator of CatholicMom.com, a website focusing on the Catholic faith, Catholic parenting and family life, and Catholic cultural topics. Hendey did her undergraduate work at the University of Notre Dame and later earned a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development from Vanderbilt University. Today, she heads a home-based web design business and is also a regular contributor to Catholic Exchange, Catholic Online, Catholic.net, and countless other internet publications. Her recent projects include her Catholic Moments podcast (www.catholicmoments.com), a weekly interview program. Hendey resides in Fresno, California with her husband Greg and their two sons, Eric and Adam. In addition to her work with CatholicMom.com, she is also the webmaster for St. Anthony of Padua’s school and parish websites. Hendey and her family are also active members of the parish. She has done pro bono web design for Samaritan Women, a prison ministry agency and is involved in numerous community service initiatives.

Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle host of EWTN’s Everyday Blessings For Catholic Moms, writes that “Lisa Hendey is the sister friend of Catholic motherhood! We know her so well through her work for families, her website, and her engaging podcasts. Lisa now brings us her book in which she openly discusses the essential elements of a Catholic mom’s life in an exceptionally delightful, engaging, dynamic, and practical manner. You’ll be turning pages and feeling as if Lisa is there by your side lovingly offering her insight and warm encouragement. You’re going to love this book!”

Lisa at St. Joachim’s for The 13th Day

hendey — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 21:20:15 +0000

This past weekend, I had the absolute honor of visiting with the parishioners of my fellow Diocese of Fresno parish St. Joachim’s in Madera, CA. One of their priests, Fr. Rafael Lavilla, OSJ, kindly invited me to give the introductory remarks for their screening of The 13th Day: The True Story of Fatima. Fr. Rafael, an amazing young priest, struck upon the idea of presenting the film as a fundraiser for the parish’s wonderful Theology of the Body group.

I teased Father Rafael that he should go into the car sales business – when he first invited me to speak, I must admit that I doubted how many people would show up to church on Saturday night to watch a black and white film about Our Lady of Fatima.

Well, Fr. Rafael and the families of St. Joachim’s proved me wrong! Over three hundred tickets were sold and the parish hall was packed to capacity to watch this amazing movie. After the film, we were treated to a very informative question and answer session by another of the Oblate priests from the parish.

If you haven’t already heard Catholic Moments Podcast #129, be sure to check out a press conference that provides a tremendous overview of the making of The 13th Day.

I love visiting parishes and must say that my trip to St. Joachim’s gave me an even greater desire to do more of this in the year ahead. I want to congratulate Fr. Rafael and his TOBers on an outstanding event. You managed to raise funds while providing a fun, inspirational, and educational evening for your entire parish family. I hope I’m invited to your next Movie Night!

To contact me about speaking at your parish or organization, email LisaHendey@gmail.com.
