The Lincoln Diocese posted this on Facebook a couple days ago. Not going to lie, I'm rather intrigued. Thankfully I have a few weeks to come up with something staggeringly brilliant, so that I'll stand out from all the other freelance hopefuls who will send in writing samples to the Southern Nebraska Register.
Here's what I've pulled together so far:
Parish Name
St. Joseph's (though I usually end up at St. Teresa's because...noon Mass.) :)

You could send them some of your blog posts as writing samples. Like the movie reviews and some of the other stuff
