SQPN ANNOUNCES 4TH CATHOLIC NEW MEDIA CONFERENCE
Program Announced / Registration Open

Roswell, GA (June 9, 2011) - The Star Quest Production Network (SQPN) is pleased to announce the program and speakers for the 4th Annual Catholic New Media Conference.

The 4th Catholic New Media Conference will be held at the Savior Pastoral Center of the Archdiocese of Kansas City. The dates for the conference are September 30 - October 2, 2011.

The Catholic New Media Conference (CNMC) is a festive, educational, and international conference focused on evangelization and building community through the use of new media. This event is designed to connect, guide and inform Catholic communicators as a response to the Church's call for new evangelization.

The 2011 CNMC will focus on the Social Network. More than ever before, we are connected through modern media with people from all over the world. What does this mean for our culture, and how can the Church participate in this network to help build a better tomorrow? The CNMC will explore how Catholics can participate in social media with a true sense of mission.

Registration is now open at http://cnmc.sqpn.com. All interested in New Media are invited, including young adults (18+), ministry leaders, and priests and religious, to whom Pope Benedict appealed in his 2010 World Communications Day message, to "become an ever more pastoral presence on the web."

We ask you, humbly, to help.

Hi readers, it seems you use Catholic Online a lot; that's great! It's a little awkward to ask, but we need your help. If you have already donated, we sincerely thank you. We're not salespeople, but we depend on donations averaging $14.76 and fewer than 1% of readers give. If you donate just $5.00, the price of your coffee, Catholic Online School could keep thriving. Thank you. Help Now >

SPECIAL GUESTS

Keynote speakers for the conference will be Sr. Anne Flanagan, FSP and Mr. Seŕn Patrick Lovett.

SR.ANNE FLANAGAN - a native of New Orleans, has been a Daughter of St. Paul for over thirty years. In print media, she is the author of "Come to Jesus! A Kids Book for Eucharistic Adoration" and a contributor to "I Will Remember You: My Catholic Guide through Grief" and to the Lectio Divina Series (Advent Grace, Lenten Grace, Easter Grace, Ordinary Grace), all from Pauline Books & Media. Active in new media since her Vatican days, Twitter's Nunblogger maintains five blogs and three Ustream channels for her community's apostolate. She is on the new media advisory board and the apps creation committee for Pauline Books & Media and is a guest blogger for the religion feature of the Chicago Tribune.

SEŔN PATRICK LOVETT - Director of Vatican Radio's FM Channel One-O-Five Live and the station's English and Italian Language Sections since 2001, describes himself as "Irish by blood, African by birth and Italian by adoption." A man of many credentials, Mr. Lovett began working at Vatican Radio under Pope Paul VI in 1977. He followed John Paul II on many of his international pilgrimages for 26 years, founded Vatican Radio's plurilinguistic, multimedial, interactive radio channel, Jubileum, during the Jubilee Year 2000, and is a Professor of Social Communications at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome (courses in radio, television, and personal expressive techniques).

PROGRAM

In addition to the keynote presentations by Sr. Flanagan and Mr. Lovett, the CNMC program will include two breakout tracks.

Social Media Spirituality - This track, presented by Lisa Hendey (CatholicMom.com and author of A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms and The Handbook for Catholic Moms); and Pat Gohn (AmongWomenPodcast.com and columnist for Patheos, Catholic Exchange and others), will focus on the spiritual formation of Catholic communicators in the online world and the tools and resources that are available to assist them.

Blogging & Social Media Techniques - This track will delve into the specifics of modernizing parish and organizational websites and the best ways to function in the world of social media. Mr. Matthew Warner (Founder of flockNote.com and contributor to the National Catholic Register) will be one of the presenters for this track.

CATHOLIC MEDIA GUILD WORKSHOPS

As a new feature of the conference, the SQPN Catholic Media Guild will organize an extra day of formation and training for anyone involved in Catholic media. This will take place at the Savior Pastoral Center on Friday, September 30th, the day before the CNMC.

We Will Pray with You: Light Your Virtual Prayer Candle

A hands-on set of workshops, these sessions will help you learn how to use the latest technology and the most recent developments in new media to reach out to the world. From the iPad to the Android, from iPhone to social networks and blogs: we teach you how to publish your creative content and to engage your audience.

These workshops are geared toward priests, deacon, religious and any individuals and parish workers who are interested in hands-on learning about social media and how it can be best used in their parish/school activities, organizations, etc.
