Video of Priests A Huge Hit
Attention Priests: The Office of Communications needs YOUR help!
We have been getting an AMAZING response to our first video featuring our beloved clergy leaving messages of hope and inspiration for the Catholics of western Oregon. If you have not yet participated, please consider taking some time to contribute to our second video!
As a reminder, we are looking for a short video (10-20 seconds) with a greeting or word of encouragement.
“We love you.” “We miss you.” We’re praying for you.” “Please pray for us.” Whatever you’d like to say to the people you serve. We’d also like to request that
this be in your native tongue. English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, etc. Just speak from the heart. This can be done on your phone or webcam. Low-tech is preferred.
Once you have your short clip, please send it to Claudette Jerez at:
cjerez@archdpdx.org
.
Please send a separate email confirming you have sent it, as some files may be too
large to send via email. If that is the case, we can help you use the free WeTransfer application.
We will put all these clips together and get it out to the people of the archdiocese.
Many thanks for your participation. Happy Easter!
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely in Christ,
Todd Cooper
Director of Special Ministries of the Archbishop
COVID-19 Pastoral Center Response, Core Team Chair
