Published: 2005-12-07

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- A directory listing the principal communications contacts for each of the 195 U.S. dioceses and archdioceses has been published by the U.S. bishops' Department of Communications. The 2006 Directory of Catholic Communications Personnel also lists media contacts for Canadian organizations, national Catholic organizations, organizations related to dioceses or religious orders, Vatican-related agencies, Catholic media outlets and ecumenical organizations. A news release from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops called it "a vital tool for journalists who seek sources of information within dioceses and church associations when covering church stories." The directory costs $7, including postage, and may be ordered by sending a check made out to USCCB Communications to: 2006 Communications Directory, USCCB Communications Office, 3211 Fourth St. N.E., Washington, DC 20017.
