The Catholic Company is very proud to announce our sponsorship of the Catholic New Media Celebration.  This celebration will be the largest gathering of Catholic bloggers, podcasters, vidcasters, and other interactive media ever assembled in one place. 

Since the inception of our own Catholic Spotlight podcast, we have been participating and supporting the Catholic New Media community, and we are dedicated to seeing the continued growth of this community as an outreach of The New Evangelization. 

Please join us in supporting Catholic New Media by listening to Catholic podcasts, reading Catholic blogs, attending the conference, and becoming part of the community.

Listen to a special message from Greg Willits of Rosary Army (and Catholic New Media Conference coordinator) to the listeners of the Catholic Spotlight.

Bella is truly the most incredible movie to be on the big screen this past year and it has tremendous appeal to people on all sides of the political spectrum due to its incredible portrails of Latinos and its very life affirming message.  We were blessed in this interview to be able to talk with Jason Jones, one of the Co-Executive Producers of the film.  He shared his views about why the movie has such broad appeal and what it was like working with Eduardo Verastegui, Leo Severino, and Alejandro Gomez Monteverde.  He also tells about the many lives that have been saved by Bella so far, and the plans to make sure that many more lives are saved by this movie in the future. 

We also have the special announcement that The Catholic Company has signed on as the official Online Catholic Superstore of the Catholic New Media Celebration.  The Catholic Company is dedicated to spreading the Catholic faith in the new media and is proud to support this historic gathering of bloggers, podcasters, videocasters, game writers, and all evangelists working through interactive media.  Please come to Atlanta on June 22nd to meet us and all the other great people working to spread the New Evangelization in the New Media.
