S MESSAGE OF POPE FRANCIS FOR THE 48TH WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY
Communication at the Service of an Authentic Culture of Encounter
“The internet, in particular, offers immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. This is something truly good,
a gift from God.”

The New Social Operating System
“Institutions—both formal, such as schools, and informal, such as
families—were once at the center of our societies. Now we are.
Each of us, with our mobile phones, is connecting across and within
institutional boundaries. The result, which the authors call “networked
individualism,” is profound.”
What does Networked Individualism look like in our world today?
(All Stats from Pew Internet Research)
! 72% of online adults use social networking (15% use Pinterest, 13% Instagram, 67% Facebook, 20% LinkedIn)
! Those 65 and older have tripled their presence on social networks in the past 4 years up to 43% now
! 18-29 year olds most likely to use Twitter (30%) and the overall percentage of internet users on twitter double since November 2010 to 18%
Teens and Technology 2013 Pew Research
! 78% of teens now have a cell phone, and almost half (47%) of them own smartphones. That translates into 37% of all teens who have smartphones, up from just 23% in 2011.
! 23% of teens have a tablet computer, a level comparable to the general adult population.
! 95% of teens use the internet.
! 93% of teens have a computer or have access to one at home. Seven in ten (71%) teens with home computer access say the laptop or desktop they use most often is one they share with other family members.
Catholics Use of Social Media CARA, November 2012
! Over 80 % of Catholics under 30 use social media. Nearly 3 million follow Catholic-themed blogs and half of Catholics unaware of Church's online presence
! 62% of adult U.S. Catholics, representing an estimated 36.2 million people, have a profile on Facebook;
! 58%of Catholics age 30 and under share content such as pictures, articles and comments at least once a week on social media; and nearly a third of all surveyed said they would like their pastors and bishops to blog
! 37 % of Catholics born before 1943 have a profile on Facebook, and that number climbs to 82 percent among Catholics born since 1982.

technologies with digital resources that are beginning to transform contemporary life and learning,
and have the potential to transform faith formation.”

Options abound!
Personal Mastery
“Personal mastery is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of
developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively. The key to this discipline is living life with intentionality and from an
importance paradigm.”
Two underlying movements:
1) Clarifying what is important to us, and
2) Continually learning how to see current reality more clearly.
Creative Tension
Vision: What we want
to do, goal, vision, etc…
What is the creative tension in your ministry of faith formation that you wish/hope technology
could be an solutionto closing the gap?
Current Reality: Where we are relative
to what we want…
Creative Tension And Closing the Gap?
Two options, we can either lower our standards (vision) or move towards our vision!

?
These are elements of a good plan...
# Who is your audience? # What do you need to
communicate? # What technology tools does
your audience already use? # What technology tools do you want to use
or feel comfortable trying? # How can you test out your technology
tools? # What is the ministry need that you want to
address?
!
The Big Idea is Simple... Develop a connected, networked model of faith
formation that is lifelong (all ages) and lifewide (whole life) and provides a wide diversity of engaging
interactive faith formation content and experience in online and physical settings.
