Mark E. Rondeau is a professional journalist who lives in North Adams, Mass. Since 1986, he has worked for weekly and
daily newspapers in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Vermont. For 9 years, I was editor of The Advocate, then an important regional
weekly newspaper based in Williamstown and North Adams, Mass.
I have written articles on a freelance basis for Catholic diocesan newspapers in Florida, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Vermont. On the national level, my work as been published in St. Anthony Messenger, Commonweal, America and U.S. Catholic.
Currently, I work fulltime for a daily newspaper in Vermont. I also edit the weekly bulletin for the Catholic parish in North Adams, which I attend. I also have done extensive freelance writing for the Williams College office of public affairs.
I am working on a book about the interaction between the administration President Barack Obama and the Catholic Church in the U.S. I am very concerned by what I — and many others — see as the continuing decline of the Church’s hold on Americans. This includes the apparent co-option of many U.S. bishops by the worst elements of the Republican Party. (See link below: “Letter to my fellow Catholics.”)
When I have time, I continue to update this site. Several links below indicate new material. With the reopening of the access roads to Mount Greylock on May 21, my series of eight pages, the “Greylock Project,” needs to be updated. I hope to complete this in the coming months. In the meantime, check out my account of the completed road project, click on the link at the top of this page.
