Marking the 10-year anniversary of the first such event, Cardinal Roger Mahony will chat online during Congress 2006. Hosted by ChurchWerks, the chat will be held March 31 from 11:15 a.m. to noon live from the Anaheim Convention Center.

The cardinal's first live session --- with questions and answers displayed on a large screen --- was conducted on CompuServe in 1996. Since then the chat has been conducted through AOL Live!, Beliefnet.com, CatholicWeb.com. and, starting in 2004, ChurchWerks.

This year's chat will be moderated by Tidings staff writer Ellie Hidalgo. Questions for the Cardinal are now being collected at www.RECongress.org/chat2006.htm to be submitted at the session. A transcript of this year's chat --- as well as all past years -- can be found online on the RECongress site: www.RECongress.org.
