Mass Confusion Trailer

In case you haven't seen it yet, here is the trailer of the upcoming Mass Confusion pilot, to be aired on Thanksgiving.

I myself first got to see the pilot at the Catholic New Media Conference in Kansas City in the beginning of October, and I can't tell you how positive the reaction was from all the great folks at the conference. The show begged laughter from the people there, who ranged pretty broadly in age.

I was extremely proud of our production crew, and really happy for Greg and Jennifer Willits & Mac and Katherine Barron. There is a huge lack of wholesome, high quality content in television right now. I certainly don't think there's ever been a Catholic sitcom before (and believe me, I've been wanting one for a while now), so it's very cool and very exciting for CatholicTV to be working on this with the Willits and the Barrons.

If you want high quality, authentic Catholic content on television, then we need your help. Share this trailer with your friends and family, and be sure to tune in on November 24th at 8:30 to watch it. Once it goes up online, share the full video as well. We want this project to go forward as much as you do, so we need viewers to make that happen. Help us prove that people want family-friendly, authentic Catholic programming!


The 8:30 premiere of Mass Confusion will be preceded by a House + Home marathon, starting at 4pm. After a break which will include Daily Mass, The Rosary & ClearVoice™, we'll air Mass Confusion for the first time. It will be rebroadcast on Friday at 11:30am & 5:30pm, Saturday at 8:30am & 10pm, and Sunday at 3:30pm.

2011 Catholic New Media Conference

The CatholicTV^® Network will attend the SQPN Catholic New Media Conference Saturday, October 1, 2011, in Kansas City, KS. The Catholic New Media Conference (CNMC) is a festive, educational, and international conference focused on evangelization and building community through the use of new media. The event is designed to connect, guide and inform Catholic communicators as a response to the Church’s call for new evangelization.

“The 2011 CNMC will focus particularly on social media, its impact on culture, and how the Church and its institutions can effectively use it,” says Fr. Roderick Vonhögen, CEO of SQPN. “We will be exploring how social media can be used with quality content; authentic catechesis and, a true sense of mission,” he says.

The CNMC will host an exciting group of speakers and presenters, including Lisa Hendey, founder and editor of CatholicMom.com, and host of the KNXT Catholic Mom television segments which air on CatholicTV. Lisa will lead a workshop on Friday, September 30th as part of the Catholic New Media Guild day of workshops. The CNMC will also offer a special preview screening of the pilot episode of Mass Confusion, a sitcom produced by the CatholicTV Network.

Keynote speaker of CNMC 2010, CatholicTV Network President, Father Robert Reed, will be set to host The CatholicTV Network’s 20^th Annual Telethon during the Catholic New Media Conference, broadcasting from the CatholicTV national headquarters.

“Due to our annual Telethon I’m not able to attend this year’s Catholic New Media Conference, but I am excited to hear of the reaction to a special preview screening of the pilot episode of Mass Confusion, says Father Robert Reed. “The sitcom was produced by the CatholicTV Network and stars Greg and Jennifer Willits, and, Mac and Katherine Barron. During the production our crew had a remarkably fine time with the Willits, the Barrons and their kids and the pilot is not only funny, but carries the important message of the Catholic faith lived out in family and friendship as well as the incredible value of every human life.”
