In the month of April and beyond, clergy, religious and laity from the Archdiocese of San Francisco will participate in a national program designed to deliver daily Scripture reflections on the U.S. Conference of Bishop’s website. To view a daily Scripture reflection, visit www.usccb.org and click on “Readings,” and “Video Reflections.” The reflections also can be accessed at the website www.ccc-tv.org or directly through the embedded video below.

The daily video reflection program is a collaborative effort of the U.S. Bishops’ Catholic Communication Campaign and the Offices of Communications at participating dioceses throughout the country. The Archdiocese of San Francisco was one of the first to participate in the program, which began in 2007. The current reflections represent the second time the archdiocese has participated.
Streaming video offerings have been expanded to include daily reflections, interviews and stories of faith that offer a range of engaging multimedia content. The new features give visitors the opportunity to experience the rich tapestry of Catholic faith from diverse perspectives and learn about the activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Church across the country, said Ellen McCloskey, director of production for the CCC.
The project is funded by the Catholic Communication Campaign, an activity of the USCCB that develops media programming, projects, and resources that promote Gospel values. The work of the CCC is made possible by the donations of Catholic parishioners from across the country to the CCC’s annual appeal. Proceeds from this collection are divided equally between each diocese and the CCC’s national office in Washington, DC.
