Mass Confusion Sitcom Pilot

Are you looking to laugh-out-loud with your family and friends? Then watch the pilot for the new sitcom at CatholicTV:

I LOL'd during the sitcom pilot. We defiantly need more family-friendly Catholic sitcoms like this. I'll be praying for the success of the Mass Confusion pilot and for CatholicTV. And, of course sharing a link with my social media friends and in-person friends and family!

Tune in when the pilot for the first-ever Catholic sitcom premieres on the CatholicTV Network on Thursday, November 24 at 8:30 p.m. (Eastern). More importantly, help get the word out to your friends and family. When the pilot appears at www.CatholicTV.com/Mass-Confusion, send the link to everyone you know. Post about it on Facebook and Twitter. Ask your pastor to include information about it in your parish bulletin.

Greg and Jennifer Willits, co-hosts of The Catholics Next Door, a daily three-hour talk show on SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel 129 and Mac and Katherine Barron from Catholics in a Small Town blog wrote the pilot of Mass Confusion and star in it with their families.

This Show Is Going on Hiatus

Dear Listeners of the RUInspired college radio show,

        This college radio show is going on hiatus for a while... Since I got promoted as Station Director for WRBC the blaze from the Fall 2011 to Spring 2012, I've made the decision to put this show on hold.

    But don't worry because I will still be producing the Special Chronicles Podcast show at SpecialChronicles.com and we may even syndicate some of the content on WRBC radio (more details to come).   I'll be sure to post updates on the show's Facebook Group, tweet updates on twitter, @RUInspired and here on the RUInspired blog.

    I will certainly miss being a DJ and hosting this show, but will looking forward to the opportunity of Station Director.   (And perhaps who knows, I may come back in the future.)

God bless,
Daniel

In the days leading up to his beatification, SQPN invites you to let the world know what John Paul II meant to you personally. What was his impact on your life, your faith, your vocation? Did you ever see him in person? How do you remember him?


I encourage you to join us by recording a short video testimony, uploading it to YouTube and then sending SQPN a link so they can showcase John Paul II's testimonies:

1. Record your (short) video testimony with your webcam, mobile phone or camera
2. Upload it to YouTube

John Paul II was an incredible person and Pope. Let's show the world what John Paul II personally means to us.

Holy Week in Two Minutes

As many are aware that this Sunday, April 17th is Palm Sunday which begins Holy Week. If you wonder why Catholics wave those palms on Palm Sunday or why on Holy Thursday they wash each other's feet or on Good Friday why they kiss a cross, then you've come to the right place!

Check out this video from Busted Halo that briefly describes Holy Week in 2 minutes:
