We were thrilled to attend the Catholic New Media Celebration in Boston on August 6-8.  We met many of our on-line friends in the flesh for the first time, and made the acquaintance of many more online friends.  During the CNMC I asked various people to record the prayers and reflections on the mysteries of the rosary.  I’m pleased to offer here the first set of mysteries in the CNMC Online Catholic Community rosary.  Listen closely to hear the voices of familiar/ and not so familiar bloggers, podcasters and people producing Catholic media.  I was honored to have Cardinal Seán O’Malley from the Archdiocese of Boston begin the rosary with the Apostles Creed.  Thanks to all who participated to make this rosary a special celebration of the online Catholic community.  I will be releasing a credits mp3 with the names of all the participants in the upcoming weeks.

Listen for the voices of:

Cardinal Seán O’Malley

The Luminous Mysteries

1st Luminous Mystery:  The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan:

Sister Maria Elizabeth FSP, Susan Bailey

2nd Luminous Mystery: The Wedding at Cana: Fr. Roderick Vonhögen

3rd Luminous Mystery: The Proclamation of the Kingdom: Pat Gohn

4th Luminous Mystery: The Transfiguration:  Gina Grech

5th Luminous Mystery: The Institution of the Eucharist:  Greg and Jennifer Willits

You can find a list of all the contributors and an audio montage of them introducing themselves on the CNMC Rosary credits post.

Update: Once I posted this, my family and a friend prayed the rosary together using this audio.  Only then did I notice that I had mislabeled an misplaced Susan Bailey’s reflection as the 4th Luminous Mystery instead of the 1st.  Now we have 2 contributions for the Baptism of the lord, by Susan Bailey and Sister Marie Elizabeth fsp.  My friend Gina stepped up and recorded a reflection for the 4th Luminous Mystery, the Transfiguration.  Enjoy.

We are pleased to have serial podsquatter, Maria Johnson from another cup of coffee and Catholic Weekend and the Secrets of Star Trek sitting in with the band for this episode.  My apologies for the sound quality.  I made a rookie mistake and had my family inadequately mic’d.

Shownotes and Links:

The third annual Catholic New Media Celebration takes place in Boston from August 6-10, 2010. To find out more about the CNMC you can listen to this CNMC FYI Infomercial podcast hosted by a number of SQPN Podcasters.

I have a created a special CNMC 2010 page on the Catholic Roundup website containing CNMC information and promos, and a directory of websites from CNMC participants.

CNMC Attendees on Twitter
I have created a Twitter List of CNMC attendees. You can find it at http://twitter.com/Sean_McGaughey/cnmcmmx
Stephanie Weak @angelsteph has also prepared a cnmc twitter list at http://twitter.com/angelsteph/cnmc

Video Introductions

Daniel Smrokowski from the Special Chronicles Podcast and R U Inspired? radio show prepared a video introduction to share with CNMC attendees.

Are you going to the CNMC? Send me a short video calling card like Daniel did. Just shoot a short 1-3 minute video introducing yourself, your websites, and telling a little about why you are going to CNMC. Then post the file to youtube, flickr or another video hosting site. Finally send me the link to catholicroundup@gmail.com. I will add it to this page so you can get to know all the fine folks who are going to the CNMC.

Prior to going to a gathering such as the CNMC, I find it quite useful to check out the websites and social media presence of some of the other attendees.  It’s a great way to start the conversation before you ever leave home.

Pat Gohn from the Among Women Podcast on SQPN has produced not one, but four CNMC MMX audio promos for use on your podcast, blog, webpage, or radio show.

CNMC MMX Audio Promo 1
CNMC MMX Audio Promo 2
CNMC MMX Audio Promo 3
CNMC 2010 Audio Promo 4.

Who should come to the CNMC? by Pat Gohn from the Among Women Podcast.

Catholic Podcast Namedropping:  Live WTL Podcast, Catholic in a Small Town, The Hands and Feet Show, another cup of coffee

Song:  RU Inspired? by Dan Harms from Popple

Boy do I have egg on my face.  Apparently Popple is not coming to the CNMC.  Their music and videos will be showcased at the event.  Listen in as I explain how I came to misunderstand the nature of the CNMC Music Showcase.

Maria explains a bit about the location of the CNMC and some of the scheduled events including the family track.
