The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) is seeking Media Missionaries to help promote the network’s mission of sharing the Gospel through media. Media Missionaries are parish volunteers who promote EWTN programming through placing fliers in parishes, using social media, visiting college campus ministry events and in other arenas of daily life. EWTN lists 12 ways to be a media missionary on its web site – ewtnmissionaries.com.
“Mississippi currently has only nine active Media Missionaries, leaving EWTN fliers in about 12 churches,” says Betsy Carraway, Mississippi Area Coordinator and Jackson St. Therese parishioner. “There is a great need for more.”
EWTN offers a wide variety of programs for Catholics from Father Robert Barron’s “Catholicism” series to daily Mass to sacred music concerts. “We recently brought Communion to a parishioner who, when we arrived, had a beautiful sacred music concert playing on the television; it was on EWTN. The music provided a very spiritual setting for the distribution of the Blessed Sacrament to this parishioner,” Carraway added.
Another service EWTN offers to keep Catholics in tune with programming is its e-newsletter “Wings.” To receive “Wings” go to EWTN.com and find the sign up box on the lower right side of the home page.
