Promoting Catholic speakers

Catholic writer and speaker Brandon Vogt, author of "The Church and New Media: Blogging Converts, Online Activists and Bishops Who Tweet," has announced the top 100 speakers of his Support A Catholic Speaker Month 2012 project, and Our Sunday Visitor readers will find many familiar names on the list, including regular OSV Newsweekly columnists Teresa Tomeo, whose Eye on Culture column appears biweekly, and Msgr. Charles Pope, writer of the weekly Pastoral Answers column.

As Vogt explains, the Support A Catholic Speaker project is designed to do three things:

  • Promote great Catholic speakers, who are so important to the life of the Church.
  • Introduce new and unfamiliar speakers, who deserve a bigger platform.
  • Help bloggers connect with their favorite speakers, blog about them, and build traffic to their own websites

Bloggers are encouraged to choose a particular speaker to profile. See the list and find out how you can reach a speaker in your area.
