Today, the Catholic Diocese of Baton Rouge celebrated all Catholic Communicators by hosting the First Annual Commissioning of Communicators in honor of the feast day of St. Francis de Sales, the patron saint of journalists. I was honored to attend, celebrate Mass and network with other likeminded communicators across our Diocese.
The job can look different throughout the day, and journalism is no where near the top of my to do list. But at the base line of a communication professional, we have the honor of sharing the good news along with the not-so-good news. Things can erupt in our world and the first thought is “this is such a tragedy.” And shortly followed, is the second thought: “I have to get to work.” Most days, the name of the game is constant optimism, also known as “toxic positivity”. The days are filled to the top with silver linings and I’m so blessed, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
