A Look at the Catholic Media Federation’s International Day in Lourdes

Saint Francis de Sales was a topic of conversation in France, particularly at the Shrine of Lourdes which is hosting the Catholic Media Federation’s International Day in his honor. 

More than 250 journalists from around 2 dozen countries will attend the meetings. They are discussing the most important issues in Catholic media. 

EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, is in France and caught up with the head of the Vatican’s Communications Department, Dr. Paolo Ruffini.
