We REALLY wanted to be at the Catholic New Media Celebration in San Antonio this weekend but it was just not possible for us to go this year. Instead We participated by watching the ustream, and participating on plurk and twitter. I interviewed a number of people both at the CNMC and those who could not make it. More detailed show notes will follow later.

St. Paul in the Square
By Sean | May 18, 2009
Yesterday, my family made the 230 km trek down to Toronto to Participate in St. Paul in the Square, a day of prayer, music, scripture study and a celebration of our Catholic faith. There was praise and worship music led by the Susan Hookong-Taylor and Ana Dacosta Band, and the amazing Matt Maher. Archbishop Thomas Collins led the assembled crowd through a Lectio Divina on Acts 17:16-34, where St. Paul was sharing the Good News in the marketplace in Athens. It was a very fitting choice of scripture for the setting as we were all in the midst of the public square in the heart of downtown Toronto. Archbishop Collin’s reflections were accompanied by the sounds of the city- drummers busking across the street, a group Harley’s roaring away from the Hard Rock Cafe, and sirens of passing fire trucks. Prior to his talk, Archbishop Collins mingled with the crowd in the square. My daughter introduced herself to him and told him about her first communion. He gave her a special blessing.
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here is a slideshow of my pictures from St. Paul in the Square.

I still can’t go to the CNMC
By Sean | May 10, 2009
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Today, Father Roderick and the SQPN network closed their annual fund raising drive with a 12 hour podcast marathon. I thought I would surprise Father Roderick with something special. The Catholic New Media Celebration will be held this year in San Antonio, Texas on June 27. I’m still unable to go but it will be an amazing event. To help promote the CNMC, I wrote and recorded a parody called, ‘People are going to San Antone’ with the help of Adam Hendey on flute (recorded by his mother Lisa Hendey the Catholic Mom), and Dan Harms of Popple on Lead Guitar.
Enjoy.
And if you can make it to the Catholic New Media Celebration, head on over to celebration.sqpn.com for more information.

Rock the vote– Help people find great Catholic Podcasts by voting on Podcast Alley
By Sean | April 2, 2009
Podcast Alley is a podcast directory that bases their rankings on monthly polls of podcast listeners going to the site and voting for their favorite podcasts. It is one of the longest running podcast directories and as the years have gone by many podcast listeners have fallen out of the practice of voting for their favorite shows at the beginning of the month. (I know I have).
Today Chris Cash, who is approaching Episode 100 of the Catholic Spotlight podcast sent out a request to the In the Catholic Spotlight Facebook Group.
I am trying an experiment this month with Podcast Alley. Every month, they have a top 10 podcasts list on their frontpage, and the list is determined by votes. Right now, we can get onto that list with just 37 more votes. I thought it would be worth trying to get on the list for a day or two to see what happens. There are just over 125 of you on this list, so if everyone just goes and votes, we could make it into the top podcasts for a few days. Here is the link, and I will email in a few days to let you know the results of this experiment.
Vote for Catholic Spotlight on Podcast AlleyAlso, I am going to have Dr. Hahn on the show in a couple weeks, so I need some questions from you guys. They can be about his new book, Spirit and Life, or just about anything on your mind.
You can call in questions to 206-426-1207.
While I was at Podcast Alley voting for the Catholic Spotlight podcast, and other great Catholic Podcasts, I noticed that this month, the highest ranked Catholic Podcast in the Religion and Sprituality category is The Our Catholic Life podcast at #19. Take some time to vote for your favorite Catholic podcasts on Podcast Alley and let’s see if we can get them in the top ranks of the religion and Spirituality Category, and maybe even high ranking among all podcasts on the site.
If you have a Catholic Podcast Listed on Podcast Alley, please add a link to your Podcast Alley page in the comments of this post and we’ll help you and other Catholic podcasters get the word out.
P.S. I finally got around to adding Catholic Roundup to Podcast Alley. Please vote for the Catholic Roundup on Podcast Alley.
Nothing to see down here. This link is just me claiming my feed for My Podcast Alley feed! {pca-83e39a0c3bde01d04543ef71174350de}

At 1:00 we prayed the Sorrowful mysteries of the rosary using Susan Bailey’s Sung Rosary Project.

The videos for the sorrowful mysteries can be found on youtube here:

We concluded the online day of reflection by praying the Stations of the Cross with meditations by St. Alphonsus Liguori as recorded by Father Z from the amazing blog and podcast, What Does the Prayer Really Say?.
At 4:00, we had some short final reflections, then everyone at our home went to mass at our home parish.
Thanks to everybody who presented and participated in the Catholic Roundup Online Day of Reflection. As well as hosting, it was my Lenten retreat and I was inspired and nourished by the great talks and times for prayer. My special thanks to Nancy who handled the in-house hostessing and to Daniele Rossi from the Stuttering is Cool Podcast, who helped me with the technical side of producing the stream and monitoring the chatroom.

You are invited to an online Day of Prayer and Reflection on March 28
By Sean | March 20, 2009
Lent is a time for Catholics to pray and reflect upon our faith. It is a time to seek out the quiet of the desert wherever we are and take time listen to God through prayer and the scriptures. On March 28, catholicroundup.com will be hosting an online day of prayer and reflection for bloggers, podcasters and indeed all Catholics who seek to enrich their faith using new media tools. Please join us for a Catholic Roundup Online Lenten Day of Reflection on March 28 from 8:30 am EST to 4:00pm EST. You will be able to find the live feed on our Catholic Roundup TV page or directly on Ustream. For audience participation in some of the discussions, we may also up a simultaneous call on Talkshoe which we will patch into the ustream feed.
We begin the Day with Morning Prayer at 8:30 am EST. The day will be structured with several times for prayer using different forms of prayer interspersed with talks and reflections by a number of people. Deacon Tom Fox and Bryan
Murdaugh have both consented to speak through the magic of the intertubes. Some friends may be sharing from our home studio as well.
Through the day we will pray the Liturgy of the Hours, the Stations of the Cross, the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary, and have time for prayerful reflection on the Sunday Mass Readings.
We will also have time during the day for some open discussions on how Catholics are using the tools of new media to enrich their faith lives and to share the Good News.
The online portion of our day of reflection will conclude at 4:00 pm EST. This is so the participants at our house can get to confession and 5:00 EST mass. We encourage anybody joining us online to try to get to mass as a part of their day of reflection as well.
We look forward to meeting you online on March 28 as we set aside some time for prayer during the Lenten Season.
