Catholic Media Resources
When Jesus commissioned his disciples to "Go...and make disciples of all nations," he was empowering his followers to use the means available to them in order to proclaim the Gospel (Mt. 28:19). This looks a little bit different in the 21st century. With the advent of the Internet and ever-evolving technology, the Church is able to connect with millions of people around the globe. At the Catholic Apostolate Center, we're exploring how to use technology in order to most effectively Revive Faith, Rekindle Charity, and Form Apostles. We do this through our weekly blog posts, podcasts, videos, webinars, social media, newsletter, and much more.
As Pope Francis stated on World Communications Day in 2015, "The media can help communication when they enable people to share their stories, to stay in contact with distant friends, to thank others or to seek their forgiveness, and to open the door to new encounters."
How can you use technology to open the door to new encounters? How can you evangelize through technology? Below are a few of our Catholic Media resources to help get you started.
