Guidelines for Media Inquiries

The Communications Office of the Diocese of Harrisburg works for the Bishop to ensure a clear, consistent message is delivered regarding the work of the Diocese, its offices and ministries, and the local Catholic Church.

About Our Office

This office manages the Diocesan website, The Catholic Witness print and digital newspaper, social media, Diocesan podcasts, radio and television messages, statements from the Bishop or Diocese, and responses to media requests.
