Here's how it's done:<br /><br />"Dear Bishop ________:<br /><br />On (date) we are holding a (event) at (location) and we would be grateful if you would be present for this important event. If you need more information, please contact (name, contact information.)<br /><br />Kissing the Royal Purple, I remain your obedient and submissive servant in Christ, (signature)."<br /><br />You send this letter/email at least 4 months in advance of the event, given the heavy schedules our bishops have.<br /><br />See? It's easy!<br /><br />As to the absent "feature article" in the diocesan papers, was a press release sent to the editors of these papers in advance informing them of the event, or was a feature article (with photographs) sent immediately after the event? I know the Southern Cross is happy to receive such and will, in most cases, print them. Just don't send it a month later, when the event is no longer newsworthy.G.

Pater Ignotus?),<br /><br />Didn't intend to slight Bishop Guglielmone of Charleston...just in a hurry to post.<br /><br />Don't know if the bishops were invited, but a good, holy priest, Fr. Michael Lubinsky, did bless the station. Usually it's pretty tough for lay people or a lay apostolate like St. Paul's Radio to make suggestions to a bishop and get on his schedule for a visit.<br /><br />Given the hostility to St. Paul's radio by some of the priests of the Augusta deanery including my former pastor, I wouldn't be surprised if no invitation was extended to the bishops.MHT Dissenternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-80871298991737109572012-06-10T16:49:10.925-04:002012-06-10T16:49:10.925-04:00Were the bishops invited, with the 3 to 4 months a...Were the bishops invited, with the 3 to 4 months advance notice as most bishops require, given their schedules, to the station blessing?<br /><br />And why is Bishop Guglielmone of Charleston given a pass here?G.

It came down to MHT, St. Teresa's, and Good Shepherd in McCormick, SC (Diocese of Charleston) to plant the seed money.<br /><br />Another sad commentary is the lack of a feature article in the Southern Cross (or the Georgia Bulletin) about the first Catholic radio station in Georgia. Bishop Hartmayer, Bishop Boland, and Archbishop Gregory should have been at the radio station for its blessing and dedication.<br /><br />If I were Bishop Hartmayer, I would push for at least one Catholic radio in every deanery of the diocese. The Catholic Church in Georgia must use modern mean of communication to proclaim the fullness of the Truth as taught by Our Lord's Church.MHT Dissenternoreply@blogger.com
