Media Ministry
This ministry is charged with sharing the parish’s good works and highlighting opportunities to grow in faith through photography, social media, and print and electronic communication. Volunteer photographers and videographers are always welcome to cover parish events. As we expand our audio-visual capabilities, we will be looking for volunteers to manage the camera and projector during liturgies. Check out a couple of interesting pieces... an article from the Catholic Currier: "What Role Can Social Media Play in Evangelization" and a YouTube video from the Diocese of Phoenix on "The Importance of Media in Evangelization." For more information, contact Marie Lagman, Director of Media Ministry.
