9. St. Michael’s and Social Media
The world of digital communication, with its almost limitless expressive capacity, makes us appreciate all the more Saint Paul’s exclamation: “Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel” (1 Corinthians 9:16). – Pope Benedict XVI, 44th World Communications Day message (2010).
St. Michael the Archangel Ukrainian Catholic Church is committed to following the Church’s teachings on responsible social media usage, outlined in Social Media Guidelines from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Office of Media Relations.
The purpose of the parish website, Facebook page and email list is to inform members of the community about events, programs, Divine Worship and prayer opportunities, and faith-formation opportunities at the parish and around the Eparchy. Like Saint Paul noted above, we too, are called to preach the Gospel. Succinctly, it is to keep up-to-date and inform readers about news and the work and mission of the Church. The prudent use of social media is to encourage respect, dialogue, and honest relationships, that is, “true Christian friendship.”
