Still Photography
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, still photographers will not be permitted in the Auditorium. Pool coverage for still photos will be provided to Catholic and secular media by the Archdiocesan Office for Communications. Please contact Sarah Webb, [email protected].
Video and Audio Feeds
Given limitations on group size inside the Auditorium, no television cameras will be permitted inside the Auditorium. As it has done with previous special events, including the Mass celebrated by Pope Francis in 2015, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia will provide a direct broadcast feed for all media outlets.
Video and audio mult-box clean feeds will be available with multiple HD-SDI video (BNC) and mic/line (XLR) connections. Media trucks can access an external mult-box located at the loading dock in the parking lot at the rear of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center. Please contact Daniel Kearns with any technical concerns at 215-888-0305 (cell).
