Did you catch the Today Show segments at the Vatican with Archbishop Dolan, Matt Lauer and Al Roker? This was a wonderful look into the Vatican and also featured an audience with Pope Benedict. Here are some video segments from that show. You’ll have to bear with an opening commercial for each video, but this is TV after all.

Catholic New Media Celebration

I recently attended the Catholic New Media Celebration (CNMC) in Boston as both a “vendor” for my new consulting business and as a member of the greater SQPN community. I’ve been involved as a supporter of SQPN for over 3 years and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to attend the 3rd annual event after having attended the first in Atlanta two years ago.

In addition to hearing from and meeting several of the leading Catholic bloggers and podcasters, we were also blessed to have Boston’s Cardinal Seán O’Malley address the group. Cardinal Seán graciously provided Boston’s new Archdiocese Pastoral Center for the conference venue.

Below you’ll find my interview with DaTechGuy, one of the Catholic bloggers in attendance. Be sure to check out the CNMC link above to learn more about the use of new media within the Church. It’s a very exciting time as we learn to embrace and evangelize on the new “digital continent” we call the Internet.

It looks like we’re on the right track with our website and our Facebook page. Pope Benedict XVI is solidly behind using technology and social networks to evangelize and build community. And yesterday he delivered a clear message to priests regarding his support for the use of technology in their ministries.

Vatican City, Jan 23, 2010 / 10:24 am (CNA).- In his message for the 44th World Day for Social Communications, Pope Benedict calls for priests to “make astute use” of available technology in becoming a presence as community leaders on the web. However, he urges them to remain “less notable for their media savvy than for their priestly heart.”

The 2010 World Day for Social Communications will take place on May 16 under the theme “The Priest and Pastoral Ministry in a Digital World: New Media at the Service of the Word.” The Holy Father’s message was released yesterday. Read more here.
