If you would like to submit a feature about yourself in the Creator Corpus series, send us a message . Completed Catholicism for the Modern World Writing Publication (Medium): Before I was Catholic, in April of 2022, using some former writing experience, I started a blogging publication to put my own articles on. The vision took a different turn when I started to invite writers on the fragmented blogging website to join me. In less than one month, the publication had gained over 60 writers, from both personal invitation, sharing a vision of a united front, and traction. Overall, on Medium, it noticeably increased the publication of Catholic articles and reached a lot of the Catholic audience on the site. It is still running today, but I believe it reached the peak of its success. Medium, by its nature, is limited, and so all other media work I have done grew from this. Catholicism for the Modern World Podcast (Christian Nexus): This podcast grew from a desire to interview the writers of the original blogging publication. Over the course of one year, around 40 episodes and interviews were recorded. Guests ranged from local friends, to Catholic speakers, business people, and more. Saints of a New Age Mini-Book : While planned and marketed to be on a much grander scale, I recognized that it would be much better to finish this project as it stood. Still, around 40 random people from across the world answered questions that were beyond a topical survey. Instead of “Who is your favorite saint?”, the questions were aimed at revealing a deep layer of their spiritual life: “What saint has inspired you the most?” Disciples of All Nations & All That I Commanded You (Documentary Films ): From amateur footage and audio recordings taken at World Youth Day, I put together an hour long video project. When I was invited to help film sacred music concerts for the Dominican Province of Toulouse in France, I knew that I would use that trip to attempt another video project. The result was a film of much higher quality, filmed on my phone across Italy and France. Agency Work: Case Studies Portfolio Websites: www.sacredheartchristiancreators.com www.sacredheartchristian.com www.kentuckycatholics.com Ongoing Kentucky Holy Land Book and Film : With research starting around December of 2023, this is a project that became bigger than I first imagined. Not only is the story one of immense depth and history, but the locations in the Kentucky Holy Land area itself (and throughout Kentucky) were more vast than I imagined. Most of the filming is done, but now I would like to go back and film some standup commentary. As for the book, I have at least 10 books to read before I seriously finish writing it. Kentucky Catholics : Kentucky Catholics has goals of fostering online participation and awareness of the mission of the local Church, supporting events, and creating engaging media as well as systems of becoming more involved in community. Its website and social media pages serve all in Kentucky. Through its Flaget Report media branch, it shares the stories of Kentucky Catholicism with the world. Kentucky Catholics Historical Society : Building off of the works of Kentucky Catholics, this historical society hosts in-person events, creates digital media, hosts an interactive online community and more. Sacred Heart Mission Crusade : This initiative has a goal of uniting creators—artists, people in business, and leaders. It will be a global fraternity that creates small local chapters in union with one another. Confraternity of St. Carlo Acutis : For young people and all who are interested in becoming an intentional digital disciple of Jesus, by imitating the virtues of St. Carlo Acutis. This confraternity has a daily prayer for all members. Christian Creators Community : This community platform has gathered hundreds of people from across the world for friendship, collaboration, feedback, and support. Live events and prayer is a goal for the future. Christian Creators Academy : In connection with the Christian Creators community, this media branch will produce videos and articles, both educational and entertaining. Sacred Heart Music Revival : With a growing archive of public domain music represented in an engaging YouTube format, this branch also seeks to include music from new and independent artists. Sacred Heart Christian YouTube Channel : The home of the Christian Nexus podcast, this channel also features vlogs and other video content. Unsuccessful Localizing Community Server : Solace is a Discord server that allows people to communicate in a relaxed digital environment. With capabilities of live prayer calls, video chat, and voice chat, there is also the possibility of connecting people across the world in localized channels, by state or region. This has been attempted, though, it requires more members for it to become active. Sacred Heart Creative Co. : This creative agency offers global services by connecting clients with members of the Christian Creators community. To get this network off the ground with success, much time and organizational preparation is needed, though some projects have been completed so far. Not Attempted Cathedu (Catholic Education) Teacher Community: As a Catholic school teacher myself, I would like to have a community platform, perhaps on Mighty, that allows Catholic teachers to talk with one another, and share advice and resources.
- On the Urgency of a Cyber Crusade
Now is the time for united Catholic action to reclaim evangelization and save souls O how great is the foundation of the Holy Catholic Church? The Bride of Christ the King is anointed with miraculous beauty and splendor, united as one all throughout the world, bearing the honor of innumerable saints that have given their entire lives in its service and promulgation. This light beckons us once more to its aid. Are you willing to add your own life to this temple? Have no fear, only courage, your Lord and Savior, Jesus, gives you this assurance: “He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more…And I will write on him My new name.” (Revelation 3:12) There exists now frontiers of evangelization novel to our age that would have been unimaginable to our forefathers, yet the potential for reaching souls would have been just as enticing for them as it should be for us. Let their zeal inspire us now. Now is the time to take up faith and dedicate your life to something that will assuredly be heavenly rewarding, and to a mission that is dutifully necessary. When Jesus chose the Twelve, he chose men that were ordinary to the world. Many of you now are ordinary, as the world sees it. That is not to say that your purpose will remain unfruitful, as even now God plants seeds within you that will sprout into talents for this timeless call of sharing the Gospel. For too long has evil grasped its talons onto these new technologies which are rightfully instruments to bring God glory. Thus, our war is one of rooting out these channels of wickedness. The light of Christ and His Church must shine in the most unlikely of places. It is our obligation to work toward accomplishing this, for all to hear the Gospel is the will of God. In the twilight of these times, when it seems that the gate has been under siege longer than we have been alive, is now not the time to fight back? The wolves that have broken in have demoralized the city, taking away its resolve, taking away its desire to rescue those who have never heard the name of Jesus! They have convinced us that our efforts are in vain. That our very existence is in vain, only to end in nothingness. The destruction of the human soul is their goal, and we must refute them by proclaiming the infinite dignity accorded to it and its right to the Gospel. Let the zeal of the great missionary Fr. Charles Nerinckx now inflame our hearts, as he exclaims: “Souls! Souls! and nothing but souls, for the love of Jesus.” Take up the cross. Take up the cross. Your Lord commands you to follow Him and He will not fail you. Let Mary be our guide. Through her Immaculate Heart we will conquer! Let all the angels and saints join us on this field of battle for the salvation of souls! With their intercession, we will be victorious. May the Sacred Heart triumph! The world for the Sacred Heart and the Sacred Heart for the world! “This is, I say, a new kind of knighthood and one unknown to the ages gone by,” St. Bernard remarks. Certainly, with our untrekked path, it is difficult to predict what snares lay ahead. We shall place our hope in the Holy Spirit, and according to the measure of our faith, He shall reveal countless graces and blessings before our eyes, and bestow abundant goodness that we shall reap in this life and the next. “Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, ‘Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's.’ ” In Jesus do we surrender our lives and in His love resides our souls. Now. hear the loving Sacred Heart, longing to see the world ablaze: “Arise, make haste, my love, my dove, my beautiful one, and come. For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come...” (Song of Songs 2:10-12) Is God Calling You To Join This Crusade? Learn more about the Sacred Heart Mission Crusade here
- Why St. Carlo Acutis Is the Ultimate Catholic Creator
The 4 means of imitation for any cyber missionary to follow St. Carlo Acutis died in 2006, only at 15 years of age, yet he left an inspiring legacy and will be remembered till the end of time because of his importance. Through many acts of evangelization, particularly his Eucharistic Miracles website , he laid down a foundation and way of life that any Catholic creator should follow. This young boy was one of the first apostles of the internet, and now it is our charge to take up this calling to spread the Gospel to all ends of the earth. To celebrate the founding of our Confraternity of St. Carlo Acutis , a society focused on building digital disciples (which we invite you to join: click here ), we hone in on the four main virtues of St. Carlo. Humility St. Carlo Acutis exemplified humility in his actions, not desiring worldly fame or accomplishments, but lasting spiritual richness. May we too humble ourselves so that Jesus may reign in our hearts. Charity St. Carlo loved Jesus, especially in the Eucharist, and this love flowed outward into everything he did. May we love God and our neighbors, for God loves us. Surrender When it was his time to die, St. Carlo resigned himself to the will of God and accepted his impending death with serenity. May God’s will be done and not our own will. Zeal St. Carlo Acutis evangelized in extraordinary ways not because he trusted in his own strength, but relied on Jesus with all his love, who all the more inflamed his desire to make the love of Jesus known to all. May we place all of our strength in Jesus and do all things through Him. If you feel that God is calling you to take this calling of "digital disciple" more seriously, we welcome you to join the Confraternity of St. Carlo Acutis A confraternity of cyber missionaries, dedicated to evangelization through means of modern technology, modeled around the virtues of St. Carlo Acutis
