“The internet, text messages and social networks are a gift from God”
Pope Francis
The past twenty years have been a dizzying series of breakthroughs and game-changing advances in communications. Our modern world is simply not the same. Twenty years ago, there were fewer than one thousand Internet sites. Today there are more than 650 million of them.
The truth of our faith has not changed. But the people in our churches are living in a new technological world.
The communications future that we were promised long ago is here right now. We've heard the statistics of how many people own smartphones and iPads and use social networks. But do we realize how profoundly these new devices are changing how we communicate?
Americans are using the Internet not just for e-mail and searching for information. They use it to pay bills and make contributions, to find out what their relatives across the country and across town are doing, to make dinner reservations, to review movies and books, to buy almost anything, and to catch up with the grandchildren.
Our Technology Ministry at St Denis is aware of all those changes in our society and does the best to use new methods of evangelization through the media.
We need to build stronger relationships as well as increase the effectiveness of the Church’s mission on sanctifying, teaching, and governing by using the tools of 21st-century communications. Technology is just a tool. Its how we use it that counts. We want to glorify Christ through the use of technology by enhancing the worship, preaching, love to the Eucharist, and teachings of the church.
“And whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Father through him.”
Colossians 3:17
