To be held in the magniﬁcent Sky Room of the University of the Incarnate Word, the CNMC is an international conference which focuses on evangelization of the Roman Catholic faith using new media. Registration information can be found at celebration.sqpn.com.

Here is the official press release:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

info@sqpn.com
www.SQPN.com

2nd Annual Catholic New Media Celebration Announced
Roswell, GA, March 30, 2009:

In his message on the 2009 World Day of Communications, Pope Benedict XVI called on Catholics, especially young Catholics to “… to introduce into the culture of this new environment of communications and information technology the values on which you have built your lives.” He also wrote, “It falls, in particular, to young people, who have an almost spontaneous afﬁnity for the new means of communication, to take on the responsibility for the evangelization of this ‘digital continent’.”

Following the encouragement of Pope Benedict, as well as Pope John Paul II before him, the second annual Catholic New Media Celebration will be held in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, June 27, 2009.

To be held in the magniﬁcent Sky Room of the University of the Incarnate Word, the Catholic New Media Celebration (CNMC) is an international conference which focuses on evangelization of the Roman Catholic faith using new media. It is a day to Learn, Share, and Explore how New Media can help the Catholic Church in the New Evangelization called for by Pope John Paul II.

“It will take place during the ﬁnal weekend of the year dedicated to the apostle Saint Paul,” says Fr. Roderick Vonhögen, CEO of SQPN. “Just like Saint Paul who traveled the world to tell the nations about Jesus, Catholic new media evangelists reach out to a worldwide audience with the message of the Gospel. At this year’s CNMC, we will explore how we can follow in his footsteps,” he says.

SPECIAL GUESTS
Keynote speakers for this year’s Catholic New Media Celebration will include Fr. Dave Dwyer, CSP and Mr. Patrick Madrid. The celebration will close with a special concert featuring Ms. Sarah Bauer.

FATHER DAVE DWYER, formerly of MTV Networks and Comedy Central, is director of Busted Halo, and host of The Busted Halo Show with Father Dave Dwyer on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio.
PATRICK MADRID is the publisher of Envoy Magazine, a journal of contemporary Catholic thought, and director of the Envoy Institute of Belmont Abbey College. He is also an author, apologist, and a host of several shows on the EWTN network.
SARAH BAUER is a Catholic singer-songwriter from Indiana with a special calling through her “Dare to Dream” ministry, to challenge young people to dream big and to recognize the great plans that God has for their lives

PROGRAM

The CNMC program will include the keynote presentations by Fr. Dave Dwyer and Mr. Patrick Madrid, a Friday night reception for conference attendees, break out sessions by notable producers of Catholic new media, and the closing concert by Ms. Sarah Bauer.

SUMMARY
The Catholic New Media Celebration is a festive, educational, and spiritual one-day event to help all Catholics live out the “great relaunching” of evangelization called for by Pope John Paul II. In the spirit of the Holy Father’s writings regarding the New Evangelization, the CNMC is a day of sharing the latest technologies used to creatively and effectively invite others to grow in the Catholic faith through new and modern ways.

New media includes podcasts and online video, games and software, websites and blogs, mobile technology and all things interactive. The Catholic New Media Celebration is a gathering of today’s new media producers within the Catholic Church, as well as of those who simply enjoy and have a desire to learn more about new media content, to grow as a community in an effort to more effectively create and share powerful and unique content for the beneﬁt of the universal Catholic Church.

Anyone interested in New Media is invited to attend. Registration and additional information is available online at http://celebration.sqpn.com.

LOCATION

The CNMC will be held in the Sky Room on the campus of the University of Incarnate Word, 847 E. Hildebrand, San Antonio, TX 78212.

ABOUT SQPN
SQPN, the Star Quest Production Network, is a non-proﬁt Catholic apostolate dedicated to evangelization and formation through the use of new media.

Just as the star of Bethlehem emerged within the foreign culture of the three magi, and invited them to start an adventurous journey to the newborn Savior, the programs of SQPN tap into popular culture to invite people on a journey of discovery towards an encounter with Christ.

On the U #76 – Are You A Missionary?

Steve Nelson — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 01:36:16 +0000

What is a missionary? Can you be one without leaving home? Have you been one and didn’t know it? Pat, Aaron and Steve give their thoughts on this and follow it up with an interview with two long term volunteers serving the Mission of San Lucas in Guatemala. Jenny and Nate tell us about their work, experiences and how it’s changed them in a short time.
