• Represent the Catholic faith as a call-screener for Catholicism Live! and during promotional weekends at local parishes
• Sit-in during staff ministry planning meetings, including with our ‘C.E.O.’ during weekly Holy Hour of Adoration
• Stretch your creative muscles by planning, proposing and co-producing promotional radio & television spots, graphic flyers, YouTube videos, blogs, and anything else you can dream up to spread the word about Catholicism Live!
What will we ask of you?
• At least 12 hours per week (we’ll work with you on this)

• The highest-quality effort you can give
• Willingness to work as a team member

Internships are unpaid with a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week during office hours (Monday – Friday, 8:30am-5:30pm) plus availability during production of Catholicism Live! television and radio program (Wednesdays, 7:30pm-9pm).
