The Digital Parish - on Facebook and Twitter

22 Apr 2020

 

The Digital Parish is a series of supports offered on Facebook and Twitter for those reaching out online in the context of faith. This resource accompanies a book entitled The Digital Parish which will be published by Veritas in Spring 2021 and is also complemented by the monthly ‘Get Connected’ column in Intercom magazine.

A new series from The Digital Parish sees case studies being shared on how the digital parish/digital Church has emerged, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic. The series looks at how bishops, priests, religious, and lay people are putting out into the deep of the net during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each participant was asked the same five questions on how they are coping with lockdown and how they are reaching out as the digital parish/Church at this time:
 
  • How are you coping day to day with lockdown/social distancing?
  • What do you miss most?
  • How are you reaching out online as a priest/parish/individual? Will you continue this post-Coivid 19?
  • What’s the first thing you will do after lockdown/social distancing is eased?
  • What’s your message to those in need of hope and encouragement at this time?
 
You can view some of the responses, including that of local priest Father Oliver Crilly, at the link below:
