Beat Sources Are Great! (Beat, Week 2½)

Finally got to talk to some people invovled in my beat, St. Ignatius Church. And I was very pleasantly surprised, and grateful, at how helpful they were.

They were very nice and actually gave me more information than I needed.

I talked to Father Charles Gagan, S.J. and SI Sacristan Raymond Frost about the memorial altar for the month of November and they gave great insight into my story.

I then talked to Patricia Gagan and Theresa Bell about the brand new Lending Library of St. Ignatius. They were very informative as well.

So I have a ton of information, great notes... all I have to do is write my stories now, which is easier said than done, unfortunately, considering everything I have due in the last few weeks of school.

But I'm sure this is just a small, small taste of what it could be like in the real newsroom.
