Saints Next Door video competition 2019
https://www.videocompetition.co.nz/

The Catholic Enquiry Centre is running a video competition open to all young people interested in sharing Pope Francis' Saint Next Door message. Pope Francis, in 2018, explained that we all can be holy. Being a Saint is not limited to high profile individuals. We all have a part to play in our communities. If we follow the values that Jesus taught, this help can improve the worlds we live in.

We need your help to tell the stories of the Saints that live in your world. Your hero could be a coach, teacher, friend, neighbour or family member. If you can capture the special things they do, then you could win yourself some cool new technology.

Registration deadline: 23 August 2019. Entries must be submitted online by 30 August 2019.

Of late, Pope Francis's in-flight news conferences have been considerably less spicy, often serving up little more than reiterations of things Francis already has said, or excuses to allow the pope to say things that he or his advisers want on the record for one reason or another. Sunday's brief encounter with the press coming back from a three-day swing in Romania was a good case in point ...
