Through my internship, I was able to attend the Ordination Mass on June 1 where five new priests were ordained to the diocese. It was a crazy day because we were taping two Masses, but I got to sit in the control room and wear a headset which was really cool! I loved watching how everything came together. I got to attend the Chalice of Salvation Mass taping during my internship. Here I am discussing my internship with Mark Dupont, director of Catholic Communications and diocesan spokesperson. It is part of a story that is scheduled to air on June 22 on Real to Reel on WWLP-TV 22 at 7 p.m.īarbie Bagley, who handles graphics and the diocesan web site, and Sharon Roulier, the host of Real to Reel, are hard at work here. I got to write my own script and then do the voiceover work which was really cool. I loved watching Bill Pacocha, the chief videographer and video editor at Catholic Communications, work in the edit suite. There were also these delicious peanut butter cup brownie bars at the meeting. Here is the whole Catholic Communications team. During the meeting, everyone talked about different ideas for upcoming stories. I got to sit in on an editorial meeting which was really interesting. Here I am with Rebecca Drake who edits and puts stories on the website. I also got to write an article for the iObserve website. It definitely reminded me that I like working behind the scenes more. Not only did I get to interview people but I even got to perform a stand-up in front of the camera. I really enjoyed hearing Brother Mickey speak and seeing some of his beautiful artwork. The second day I went on location in Westfield to report on a talk given by Brother Mickey McGrath. Seuss sculptures in downtown Springfield. Here I am with Sharon Roulier’s daughter, Stephanie, during a tour of the Dr.
However, my first day was not all work, nor would the two week experience lack any fun moments. Although Peggy is not a fan of logging, I enjoyed it. Logging is when one chooses the video clips to be featured in the story. Upon arriving on the first day of my Senior Seminar, I learned the basics of logging with my mentor, Peggy Weber, who was working on a story. Here’s a behind the scenes look at my two weeks at Catholic Communications.

Oh, and I also got to be on TV which is pretty cool. I was given a story to report on and had a task to do every day with it. When most people think of internships they think of grabbing coffee, making copies, and not getting paid.īut that is not even close to the experience I got with my senior seminar. I cannot express in words how much I enjoyed my internship or how grateful I am for the experience I got. Everyone is so nice and it is like a family. Now that I have finished my internship, I can say I am so glad I chose to do it here. Because of an interest in communications as well as in film, I thought Catholic Communications would be a great place to do my internship. As a senior at Holyoke Catholic High School, I was required to do a two week “Senior Seminar” or internship before graduation.
