Technology

The Coronavirus is demonstrating the necessity for parishes to use technology. The world of technology, however, allows much, much more than online Masses and services. Parishes can create many online evangelization ministries on social media! They can provide much information on Facebook, or Twitter or a parish website, with links to various online resources. Parishes can have email/text campaigns to inform parishioners of all parish news and announcements. They can provide short adult catechism classes with links to podcasts or YouTube presentations on the parish website and through email campaigns. Priests and deacons can video their homilies, reflections, or other podcasts and regularly send them out to parishioners, via email, or use text alerts. The sky is the limit! Through technology, parishioners and other followers can be in touch with the parish on a daily basis. Kerygma has many more possibilities you’ll want to consider as we continue to move into a digital world.
