Communications

The Office of Communications is responsible for ensuring effective ongoing two‐way communications between the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and the many publics it serves. The office produces The Catholic Spirit, the Archdiocesan Catholic Directory, and the Practicing Catholic show.

The Office of Communications ministers to Archdiocesan offices, parishes, Catholic schools, the public and the media by providing timely information, communications assistance, news from The Catholic Spirit, and other needed resources and services.
