The Catholic Maritime News is a monthly newsletter published by
the National Office to keep the network of port chaplains, ship visitors,
seafarers, sponsors, volunteers and interested people in touch with what is
happening in the Catholic Church in the maritime world.
This is the printed text of a talk given by Fr. Sinclair Oubre, J.C.L., president of the Apostleship of the Sea of the United States of America on May 18, 2010, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The talk was part of a panel discussion on seafarer access at the 2010 North American Marine Environmental Association as part of National Maritime Day Observances.
