“The
church
should
not
hesitate
to
engage
the
modern
digital
technologies
which
can
be
vehicles
for
communica6ng.
It
is
our
sacred
duty,
however,
to
ensure
that
our
communica6on
mirrors
Caritas
in
Veritate
God‘s
crea6ve
love.”
(Charity
in
Truth)
4. 4
Because
it
is
so
different
from
mass
media
and
mass
communica8on,
social
media
is
crea8ng
a
new
culture
on
this
Digital
Con8nent.
Young
people
use
it
as
their
first
point
of
reference....
The
implica8ons
of
that
for
a
church
which
is
struggling
to
get
those
same
young
people
to
enter
our
churches
on
Sunday
are
staggering.
If
the
church
is
not
on
their
mobile
device,
it
doesn’t
exist.
The
Church
does
not
have
to
change
its
teachings
to
reach
young
people,
but
we
must
deliver
it
to
them
in
a
new
way.
(The
Bishops
on
Social
Media)

Introduction and Background
• The Archdiocese holds valuable FCC spectrum licenses
• The spectrum was the source of Instructional Television
(ITV). Now the FCC has repurposed the band to develop
wireless broadband service.
• The Archdiocese has a long-term contractual arrangement
with Clearwire, a national wireless service provider
• The Clearwire relationship includes grants to Archdiocese
to develop creative wireless initiatives for parish and school
educational efforts throughout the Archdiocese
• The purpose of the C3 Pilot is to explore and assess
various applications and models in selected school, parish
and other locations as the basis for long term planning for
how the Archdiocese can best make use of the Clearwire
relationship for education and administrative support
14. 14
Initial Vision for C3 Pilot Parishes
• Some innovations to be tested:
§ Evaluate virtual communication to increase outreach to
parishioners including classes, spiritual support, and
connection to ‘sister’ parish
§ Test sample administrative support systems with staff to
determine if they allow them to work more efficiently and
effectively
§ Enable programs like Religious Education to be offered
virtually and access response to these learning
opportunities
§ Demonstrate how to use Archdiocese spectrum in a
community of learners
How should progress be measured and success defined?

THE
TECHNOLOGY
CHECKLIST
WEBSITE:

As
you
consider
a
technology
initiative
at
your
location,
use
the
attached
check-‐
list
to
analyze
the
issues,
avoid
problems
and
make
the
most
of
your
investment.
The
checklist
applies
whether
the
devices
are
owned
by
the
location,
by
the
user
or
a
combination
of
both.
We
believe
you
will
?ind
the
decision-‐
making
process
is
helpful
for
you
to
focus
on
the
"big
picture,"
and
is
useful
even
if
your
location
is
not

any
speci?ic
technology
initiatives.
21. What are the current trends
impacting faith formation and parish
communities in the 21st Century?
22. Adult Faith Formation for the 21st Century
According to John Roberto, “We are
experiencing a convergence of new
information and communication
technologies with digital resources that
are beginning to transform
contemporary life and learning, and
have the potential to transform faith
formation.”
23. Adult Faith Formation for the 21st Century
According to John Roberto, “We are
experiencing a convergence of new
information and communication
technologies with digital resources that
are beginning to transform
contemporary life and learning, and
have the potential to transform faith
formation.”
24. The New Social Operating System
“Now, Rainie and Wellman
argue, we are experiencing
a “triple revolution” wrought
by the advent of broadband
Internet access, social
networks, and mobile
technologies. The mutually
reinforcing and accelerating
nature of these technologies
is shifting the center of
gravity in how we organize
as a society.”
25. 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.”

26. The New Social Operating System
“A society organized around individuals
may need different rules from one
organized around institutions.”
What are the implications of this for our
parish communities in the areas of:
• Passing on Catholic Faith
• The way we Communicate
• The way we Collaborate
27. Creative Tension
Vision: What Current
we want to Reality: Where
do, goal, we are relative
vision, etc… to what we
want…
What is a creative tension in your ministry?
28. Creative Tension….And Closing the Gap?
Two options, we can either lower our standards
(vision) or move towards our vision!
29. Small Group Work
If the application of technology could solve one issue or
challenge that you or your parish is experiencing right now
in the following areas, what would that be?
• Catholic Faith Formation
• Communication within the Parish Community & Leaders
(both staff and volunteers)
• Ministry Collaboration within your parish groups and
among other parishes in your area
Using the IPads create a list of issues or challenges for
each area to share with the larger group.
30. What are the values that we want to guide
the work we do collaboratively on this
project?
• Walk the talk or in this case the technology. We use
the technology we want to integrate into our faith
communities.
• What else?
31. Any practical ideas about how we should
structure our work?
• Should we have a joint project committee?
• How often do we want to share information? And with
whom?
• What elses?

know it has been successful when….
