Web site aims to inform Gulf Coast Catholics, tell region's story

Published: 2005-10-11

RONKONKOMA, N.Y. (CNS) -- In an ongoing effort to assist Gulf Coast colleagues affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Catholic media professionals have launched a new Web site to help reconnect hurricane evacuees with news about their dioceses and to help tell the story of the storm-ravaged region. Catholicsrespond.org is a joint effort by the Catholic Press Association of the United States and Canada and the Catholic Academy for Communication Arts Professionals. Developed by John Feister of St. Anthony Messenger Press, the site says it has two purposes-- "to help reconnect hurricane evacuees with their diocesan communications" and "to help get the story out, from those affected by the recent hurricanes."
