It looks like we’re on the right track with our website and our Facebook page. Pope Benedict XVI is solidly behind using technology and social networks to evangelize and build community. And yesterday he delivered a clear message to priests regarding his support for the use of technology in their ministries.
Vatican City, Jan 23, 2010 / 10:24 am (CNA).- In his message for the 44th World Day for Social Communications, Pope Benedict calls for priests to “make astute use” of available technology in becoming a presence as community leaders on the web. However, he urges them to remain “less notable for their media savvy than for their priestly heart.”
The 2010 World Day for Social Communications will take place on May 16 under the theme “The Priest and Pastoral Ministry in a Digital World: New Media at the Service of the Word.” The Holy Father’s message was released yesterday. Read more here.
