Matthew Warner responded to the call for the Church to use all forms of media – including interactive new media – to evangelize and strengthen ministry and communication among God’s people. As an example of people creating new communication resources for the Church, Matt developed Flocknote, a service that can increase the effectiveness of communication in a parish among its members, especially people using the Web.

Matt is one example of the many people using their talents and passions to serve the Church through media, especially new media.

Individuals, ministries and organizations within the Catholic Church have been among the earliest and most successful adopters of audio and video podcasting since it began in late 2004. In this edition of the Catholic Media Journal Podcast, George Leite, an active Catholic podcaster from Massachusetts, shares how his growth as a Catholic and love of ministry through music led him to podcasting. George’s main podcast, Catholic Rockers, won the 2007 international award as Best PodSafe Music Podcast - an award which included music podcasts of all genres, not just religious music.
