Lisa Hendey from CatholicMom.com and the Catholic Moments Podcast has been an enthusiastic supporter of the Catholic New Media Advent Calendar from when I first suggested the idea to her. Today we have a video of her sons, Eric and Adam Hendey playing  a celtic arrangement of We Three Kings, on guitar and recorder.

Join us tomorrow and every day in December for more reflections produced by great Catholic New Media personalities.

Update:  Wow, I submitted this post just before the deadline at 9:56pm EST.  By 10:30 Sarah had Catholic Carnival 200 posted, and it’s a doozer.

Congratulations to everyone involved for 200 weeks of the Catholic Carnival, (the longest permanent floating crap game Catholic Blog Carnival on the Internet).

Reflecting on what to write about for this week’s carnival led me to write a mini carnival of my own.  My involvement with Catholic blogging, podcasting and social media has been a means belonging to a community of believers throughout the world.  The reason I produce the  Catholic New Media Roundup is help foster and grow this community in my own little way.

A few recent posts illustrate this point.  A couple of weeks ago,  The Catholic Journeyman talked about the reasons he blogs in:Just how Catholic are we?

How “Catholic” are we to put study, energy and time into this, ahem “hobby”? I dont see this as fanatical or extreme, and yet my first inclination is to respond citing the convenience of this technology and using it for Evangelization, but thats just a thread in the cloth here. Its a discovery process, growing a community of believers, etc.

I have become a great fan of the Amateur Catholic Bloggers, The B team of Catholic Bloggers.  Their motto is, ” We don’t write books or do speaking tours.  In fact, we barely do our jobs. We’re the B-Team of Catholic Bloggers.”  Their sense of humor and the seriousness with which they undertake the (hobby? passion? addiction?) of sharing their faith using new media greatly speaks to me.  I’ll definitely be applying to join the B-Team.

On Catholic Moments #79 Lisa Hendey interviewed Bryan Murdaugh, a talented Catholic Dad, youth minister and musician, and social media friend of mine.  During the interview, Lisa asked Bryan why he uses social media to reach out to the youth he ministers to.   He gave a long and thoughtful answer, but summed it up with, “After all, the Eucharist is the original social network”.   Amen to that.

I’m trying to grow that social network of the body of Christ in my own little way through my blogs and podcasts.  Please consider contributing to my Catholic New Media Advent Calendar project which will feature content from a different guest blogger, podcaster or musician each day in December.
