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. Dr. Ruffini explains why it is important for a dicastery to organize something such as a pilgrimage to Lourdes. He shares how he manages to communicate the Gospel in this modern world. Dr. Ruffini fills us in on what he will take away personally from this experience.
