Young people put faith to work at Canada's Catholic TV network

Published: 2007-08-14

TORONTO (CNS) -- Some staff members at Canada's Salt and Light TV find working for a Catholic television network is a way of putting their faith to work. Producer Gillian Kantor began volunteering and later working for World Youth Day 2002 while working at the children's wildlife magazine Wild. After World Youth Day, she took a job as youth editor with Canada's national Catholic newspaper, The Catholic Register, in Toronto. She also kept in touch with the former World Youth Day director, Basilian Father Tom Rosica. Eventually Father Rosica and Joseph Sinasac, the Register's publisher and editor, struck a deal for Kantor to split her time between the newspaper and the TV station. Slowly, she shifted into a full-time position at Salt and Light. "I was so attracted by what's happening here, by the growth and the opportunities -- not just for us working here but also for Catholic media in Canada," she said.
