(New York, NY – July 9) – The Catholic Media Association (CMA) held its annual Catholic Media Conference (CMC) from Tuesday, June 24, though Friday, June 27.

This year’s conference took place at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel in Phoenix, AZ. Hundreds of Catholic media professionals from a plethora of backgrounds (such as, but not limited to, communications, editorial, journalism, public relations) journeyed from all over Canada and the U.S. to “arise in the desert.”

Congratulations to Fr. Mike Mendl, SDB, and Salesiana Publishers, who received an honorable mention for Father Ernest Coppo and the Founding of the Salesian New Rochelle Province in the “Best Book by a Small Publisher” award category at this year’s CMC! To purchase a copy and learn more, please email dbbooks@salesianmissions.org. The cost is $25 U.S.D ($34.15 Canadian dollars).

Next year’s CMC will take place from June 16-19, 2026, in Atlantic City, NJ.
