We are in the middle of a digital revolution that is radically transforming everything that we do these days. Ever since the Internet spread across the world in 1990s, online activities have changed the way we worked, thought and practiced everything in life.
It is not just our work culture and daily schedules that have been made easy by online modules and digital files; even our faith and mission have been changing with the digital age.
Consider this: 20 years ago, most of us read the Bible and the daily Catholic devotions out of books kept at home. Now, always-connected smartphones are the driving force for daily prayers and reflections. Daily, innumerable messages of daily prayers, YouTube Channel broadcasting devotional hymns and speeches are read and heard by millions of people around the world.
Simply put: we are in the age of Digital Mission. And so, the church’s mission of faith and conviction have to undergo a fast digital revolution.
But is your parish, diocese or church-run institution digitally equipped?
Are the donations, offertories and fundraising activities that you undertake in your parishes still through cheques and cash? Has your parish or diocesan web site an online fundraising page? Can the faithful pay online to the charity works you launch?
A series of surveys that Digital Catholic launched in the last six months in India and several other Asian countries say that Catholic parishes and dioceses are still ‘primitive’ in digitally transforming their activities. The Digital Catholic mission, therefore, is to help you equip the right digital solutions for your parishes, dioceses, church-run institutions etc.
