One of my responsibilities is to inform (arch)diocesan Catholic newspapers when a woman or man from their area is posted as a Salesian Lay Missioner (http://www.salesianlaymissioners.org/) or Salesian Domestic Volunteer (http://www.salesiandv.org/). Oftentimes the local editor is delighted to receive such information, and sometimes we find out that the paper has run a story in print or on-line.
On Nov. 30, Baltimore's Catholic Review published in both formats a story about Marie Prosser, who will be leaving for her mission in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in a couple of weeks. Marie did her orientation back in July and August and was commissioned on Aug. 6 (which I didn't get around to posting till Sept. 9--you can check the story there via http://sdbnews.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html).

And on Dec. 8, the Georgia Bulletin of the archdiocese of Atlanta wrote
about Carmen Hilmes's experience in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Carmen also was commissioned on Aug. 6 after the orientation program. See http://www.georgiabulletin.org/local/2011/12/08/missionary_hilmes/
