As part of our discussion at a men's group, I mentioned the need for an independent local Catholic news source. The diocesan paper is limited by resources - and politics - in what it can cover. There are so many other Catholic-related stories out there. Just to name a few - St. John Bosco Schools, Chesterton Academy, the Chesterton Conference, the Irenaeus Center, Feminists for Life, Students for Life, the TLM Masses, the 40 Days for Life campaigns, the Good Friday Stations of the Cross for Life, the human trafficking march, the St. Alban community, Secular Franciscans and other lay groups, the St. Padre Pio Chapel, individual parish food pantries and soup kitchens, and so on.
One possibility is an online site - a webpage of some sort where we can run articles, columns, and pictures. While I do have the writing, photography, and editing skills for such a news outlet, I do not have the technical skills to create a one.
I may be able to work something out with the Irenaeus folks - young people with technical skills.
I want to move in this direction. There is such a need.
Pax et bonum
