Public Relations for Catholic Priests? Unique Website to Be Discussed on Live CatholicTV Talk Show


On June 25th, a unique website which posts thank you letters to priests will be discussed on the live CatholicTV talk show “This is the Day”.

The creators of the website (letterstopriests.com) write that the purpose of the site is to “promote positive public relations of Catholic Priests.” The website publishes stories written by average citizens (anyone can submit stories) who want to thank the priests who have affected their lives in positive ways. The stories range from a heroic, civil rights activist priest, to a priest who expressed tremendous joy even after being imprisoned and tortured in a Nazi concentration camp.

Matthew Warner, a contributing writer at the National Catholic Register wrote a positive review about the site saying that he liked the idea “Since it involves such a diversity of perspectives it has the potential to be a comprehensive collection of unique insights into the various ways priests benefit the community.” Warner also mentioned the tragedy “that a very small percentage of bad priests have given a bad name to so many good ones.”

This is the Day airs at 10:30AM ET at CatholicTV.com and on CatholicTV. The show is rebroadcast at 7:30PM.

Anne Hughes will be interviewed on This is the Day on June 25th. She helped to organize letterstopriests.com and plans to publish a book which will be a collection of the letters submitted to the website.

Also to be interviewed on This is the Day, will be Liz Abramo, a high school junior from Massachusetts. She will talk about being a Catholic leader amongst her peer group.
