Promoting unity and building community online, led by John Grosso, director of Digital Media at the Diocese of Bridgeport.

Raising hearts and minds to eternal things, without losing touch with the here and now. Led by Fr. Patrick Briscoe, OP.

Words can sooth, calm, explain, add insight and create a belief that you are in control of a crisis. Words can also inflame, cause stress, create confusion, diffuse attention and add to a feeling of anger and frustration. As a skilled communicator, you must be able to use words like weapons. They must communicate the relevant information to the target audience. This workshop will give you plenty of take-aways and sharpen your skills for all media platforms.

Led by Ellen Gunning.

Using the power of Mettacomms, a new data-analytics platform for thought leaders, Ellen Gunning will present her findings on the Catholic Church and its people in America. She will look at the similarities and differences in ethnicity, values, concerns, areas of growing membership and areas of decline. Her presentation will investigate the spiritual and societal needs of Americans today and point to emerging issues that might offer an opportunity for the church to reach out and engage in a different way.

The purpose of this master camp is to identify stress and burnout signs and symptoms, reflect on the unique stressors of media professionals in the Catholic press, and most importantly, discuss productive and evidence-based coping strategies to increase tools in your stress management toolbox for better coping.
