Master Camps

This Master Camp will be a practical workshop/retreat specifically designed to equip Catholic media professionals with a spirituality that reinforces their unique vocation and mission.

As Catholic media professionals, why do we do what we do? What gives meaning to, sustains and shapes the work we undertake? What guides our creativity? This session will equip Catholic media professionals with a Pauline media spirituality that helps us to grow in and respond to our call to be missionary disciples within the Church’s evangelizing mission. Through specific spiritual practices, we will learn to live and communicate Christ in the manner of Saint Paul the Apostle, patron of missionaries, communicators and journalists. Attendees of this session will leave with a greater understanding of and appreciation for what it means to live out their baptismal vocation within the field of Catholic media, and to allow this spirituality to infuse every aspect of life and mission.

This Master Camp serves as an enlightening primer on artificial intelligence for those engaged in Catholic ministry. It aims to demystify AI, providing basic definitions and insights into its burgeoning role within the Catholic contexts. Attendees will explore how AI tools are being integrated into various aspects of Catholic life, including catechesis, educational institutions, pastoral ministry, and even spiritual, liturgical, and worship practices. Furthermore, the session will delve into the ethical considerations and existential questions surrounding AI, fostering a thoughtful dialogue on how this technology could align with Catholic values and the future of the Church in the digital age.
