Hopefully, the Holy Father’s visit has inspired us all.
First, we want to thank everyone for making uspapalvisit.org a success. Especially to all the people behind the scenes who worked long hours for many days, a heartfelt thank you. Also, we want to thank everyone for your complimentary e-mails.
The live stream and blog among other items were certainly firsts for the Office of Digital Media at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). There were some hiccups but all-in-all it went very well.
So, where do we go from here? We want to make sure everyone gets a chance to view the events of the papal visit. Therefore, uspapalvisit.org will remain up until the end of June. At that time, we will reassess the site to see if there is a need to keep the site going any longer.
On the site, you will find the texts and videos from most of the events. You will also find articles, images, audio and video on events, the church in the U.S. and the Holy Father himself.
We will continue to post reactions from the papal visit among other items as we get them. So, pass the word along to anyone looking for texts or video from the papal visit, they can find them on uspapalvisit.org.
In “Christ Our Hope”
Joe Larson, Director of Digital Media, USCCB
A hearty thank you from one of this blog’s devoted ‘blog stalkers’. It is great to have this resource and i enjoyed the posts very much.
it seems like yesterday that the Holy Father was here, but at the same time it seems like long ago. I hope and pray to continue to live his message and his call to action.
Thanks again!
