Hinweis der Redaktion
- How your ministry can and should reach beyond your parish to the digital continentPope’s quote from WCD 2009: The new digital technologies are, indeed, bringing about fundamental shifts in patterns of communication and human relationships. He calls us to create a culture of respect, friendship and dialogue.
- PrayerChallenge: I know my audience, but I don’t know all the ministries you are involved in.This presentation will be partly about WHY we minister in the digital continentPartly will be about practical suggestions to integrate technology.If something interests you, try to seek additional training!
- The real meNot an expert in technologyLove to let my inner child shineCreativeLifelong learnerIn Ministry, I am a catechist, primarily. LOVE to teach.Don’t let any lack of expertise in technology prevent you from hearing today’s message. God will make a way!
- In three or four words, what is your primary ministry – what you LOVE to do
- In three or four words, what is your primary ministry – what you LOVE to do IN MINISTRY? Your PASSION.LiturgyCatechesisServiceEvangelizationEtc.
- No matter what ministry you are in, I believe what you do touches all these areas: the family, your parish, the Church AND the digital continent, which includes those who are not yet fully initiated into our faith.Every person who attends a liturgy, a faith formation program, celebrate the rites of initiation or benefits from your evangelization or outreach efforts is part of these communities.
- Everyone is a member of a family:Family is the first experience of Church.Family is where traditions are passed on.Faith traditions can help bind families across generations.How can your ministry help to keep families strong?
- QUESTION: What do you think people would say if asked “Where do you encounter Christ in your parish?”Parish survey showed that the two most life-giving things were various parish programs that helped create a sense of community AND liturgies.Is your ministry doing all it can to reach out with prayer, community-building opportunities, and services that meet the corporal and spiritual needs of others?Whether fully initiated or not, whether practicing their faith or not, the people you of your parish family are touched by your ministry, too.
- Within and beyond your parish, you will find individuals who are isolated, disconnected from parish life. Not everyone who shows up at Mass on Sunday is mentally present or has that warm fuzzy feeling of belonging to the parish! Nor do they recognize the tremendous gift of the Eucharist!How can your ministry, your passion, include the marginalized, the lonely, the isolated?
- And then there are communities that are so different from ours, across the globe.But we have figured out how to reach out to them. We’ve set up missions and supported relief organizations. We are starting to tell the stories of those who are under oppression and live in systems of political and economic injustice. If only more people could hear their stories, awareness and outreach would certainly grow.
- Now, in the 21st Century, there is a whole new mission – to bring the love of God to the digital continent.Some citizens of this digital continent are already in your parish community. BUT - Some truly will never hear about Jesus unless you step out into their space – their cyberspace!INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY IS ONE WAY WE CAN MORE EFFECTIVELY MINISTER TO PEOPLE WITHIN AND BEYOND THE GEOGRAPHIC PARISH: THE CITIZENS OF THE DIGITAL CONTINENT.Clipart from Microsoft ClipArt collection.
- Is this you?This was me for many years. WHY should we pay attention to technology and how it relates to ministry?
- THAN I started to read what our Church was saying about technology.Do we have an obligation to include the digital continent in our ministry? YES!-Inter Mirifica – way back in 1963, the Church was having its say about communications. Inter Mirifica is one of the documents from Vat II – a lesser known one, but visionary in its content. It called for an annual theme and a day for the Pope to give a message about communications and media. Back then, it was talking about TV and radio. Doesn’t say DON’T have a voice in the media at all!
- Today, WCD messages are more about the Internet and the Digital Continent. In summary, the Church offers us a vision for evangelization through social media, as well as instruction on how media can and should be used to promote the dignity of human beings, dialogue with others, friendship, respect and infusing the Web with a “soul” by both priests and laity. (that’s us!) I also observed what was happening in schools (not necessarily Catholic schools) and how we were using tech in innovative ways to engage students in an entirely new way of learning about and with technology.
- You can read all the past WCD messages on the Pontifical Council for Social Communications site. It’s a great way to catch up, as each document is short and covers a limited topic such as 2010, which was directed to priests and the new media.
- Besides the Vatican, there are many other heralds in the Church of the Digital world. Here’s an example -James Martin SJ, July America MagazineWrites about the necessity to update and upgrade our parish presence on the Internet. He says regarding updating web sites:Many church employees might say: “Are you nuts? I’m too busy!” But not updating is like having a microphone in the parish that is not working. A priest or deacon could deliver homilies that would put St. John Chrysostom to shame, but if no one can hear them, what is the point? Likewise, if church organizations do not maintain a fresh Web site or blog, fewer people—especially the young, who get their information digitally—are going to visit these sites and hear the church’s message, or even care if the church is speaking.
- If you would like something a little more local as justification for integrating technology in your ministry, look no further than our own diocese – The Office of Communications published steps and guidelines for use of social media in parishes and schools. READ IT!DOSP guidelines – January 2011DOSP.orgNewsOffice of CommunicationsResourcesSocial Media Document
- What are some ways You can reach out to the digital continent in your ministry? THIS WILL BE AN INTRODUCTION to some useful ideas.Three areas of CommunicationCommunityCreativityNotice the overlap.TALK to someone about what these three areas mean to you, related to tech and ministry if you can. Ask for large group feedback.
- Start with CommunicationOne-way like a web site, but there are other ways to look at communication!
- Old way to communicate and share files: e-mail (still useful and mainstream)New way: Cloud computing using Google Docs or DropboxGoogle Docs: Online Word ProcessorShare files with others and edit in real time. See exactly who did what and when.Documents, spreadsheets, surveys, images – but not a round trip ticket. Formatting may be lost. Great if you are creating something that does not have to be downloaded to your computer for editing.Example: Our parish survey used Google Forms, similar to Survey Monkey but totally free.Example: Parish Survey
- Each question generates a graph of some kind.
- Even better than GD, DROPBOX. Simple, online storage and file sharing. Takes any kinds of files and does not change formatting. Access from any computer with Internet.Example: How we usually share info after a team meeting… waiting, e-mailing, forgotten tasks…Now we have a HF Facebook e-mail account that we use to set up other sharing tools like Dropbox.Michelle took notes on laptop at AFF meeting. Before we left the meeting, she had placed the notes in Dropbox and shared that file with us. When we got home, all we had to do was accept the invitation she sent to us (in a group e-mail), and the minutes were right there. So were ALL the documents we had worked on independently. No more lost files. Protected from hard drive failure. No waiting for someone to type up minutes and missing something you were supposed to do.
- WikisUser-created website in the cloud that can be edited by a GROUP (private or public)Collaborative – discuss, edit content, post links… use for homework assignments, keeping documents in a central place, etc.Free public or private options. Ad-free for educators.Great Team toolThink of it as a collaborative work space in the cloud.
- This is an e-mail I received from Church of the Presentation up north. I wanted to see how Constant Contact information looks on the receiving end. It’s a really nice way to connect with your parish!This parish uses it to send out a weekly message from pastor and keep parishioners informed of parish events. Individuals must opt-in to receive these emails. It’s actually very nice and not annoying at all!We also used CC from the LPMI office to notify our alumni about an upcoming retreat morning and to streamline the process of gathering their RSVP responses.
- You can also check out our LPMI alumni newsletter! Posted on diocesan web site and has info about YOUR networking group, and will be there for you when you need a point of connection after commissioning!
- Other options to streamline and modernize your communication in your ministry…Skype – online meeting, free for anyone who has Skype. Similar to conference call. GoToWebinar – Free TRIAL periodInvite up to 100 people to an online meeting. Show your screen, show a PPT to a group, allows for interaction (chat box and ask a question) with the whole group. Example: used for SITM to conduct our follow-up classes this summer after one live day, the rest of training was by webinar.
- Don’t forget that most young people (and many old people) are using mobile devices now – cell phones, smart phones, ipads, in addition to laptops.Rather than fight a losing battle about these devices, how can you model digital etiquette and responsible use? How can they be integrated into faith formation classes, homework assignments, or parish meetings?
- Community – building holy connections through Facebook social networking, Twitter and Digital Catechesis
- Community – tools you can use to reach others and build community in the digital world.Misconceptions about SN – because it is misused does not mean it can’t be used responsibly.HF Facebook page – set up over last 9 months. Taking is slow. Learning as we use it. Team of moderators, a manual for future team members, checking out questions with diocese, etc.CLOSED group used for our summer institute to allow people to try it out and see the benefits of making connections with other ministers.Refer to DOSP guidelines (next slide)
- Digital Catechesis – network for faith-based ministers to connect and share resourcesTwitter – follow your favorite organizations (USCCB, America Magazine) or people.
- At the Crossroads of communication and Creativity, there’s BLOGGING. Blogs are more than diaries – they are opportunities for people to dialogue and share ideas. Blogs – this year the Vatican invited 150 Catholic bloggers to a summit. The Church recognizes that bloggers are using modern technology to reach out and share their faith! Bloggers can be priests or ordinary Catholics like you and me. CHOOSE what blogs to read – not all are bad/good.SPIRITUAL POPCORNHere’s a guy who created a blog about movies, and gives you his analysis from the Catholic perspective! Great use of ORIGINAL thoughts. Connection between “pop culture and faith.”
- Creativity –engaging others with tools like Wordle, YouTube (parish renovations, Catholic Weird Al), digital storytelling (Other-Abled)
- Creativity – what is it? Allowing people to use their imagination to invent or create something unique, something new, something that expresses their faith.Traditionally, creativity has been applied to the visual and performing arts. We are used to seeing sculptures, stained glass and paintings that express our faith. We are OK with people singing music as a creative expression of faith.We are not so used to creating expressions of faith through technology, but the potential is there.What are some tools people could use to convey the age-old content of our faith?
- This is a Wordle or word cloud made from the text of the WCD message for 2009. It took about 30 seconds to create it.Looking at this, can you tell what the most commonly used words in the Pope’s message were? How could you use this in a discussion, a retreat, or a school to facilitate discussion about what the Pope is saying?
- YouTube gives you videos to use – like this one. Hilarious but respectful promotion of RCIA set to the tune of YMCA by Nick Alexander, the Catholic Weird Al.You can use someone else’s creative product to add another dimension to faith – one that people don’t expect!You can make your own videos as well.
- YouTube videos can also fall in the category of “Digital Storytelling” – using digital media to share our faith. This is a movie I created that tells the story of a new ministry in our parish that serves the spiritual and social needs of adults with all kinds of special needs and their caretakers. We had such a good time in our first year, and can’t wait to start again in the fall. We shared this story with the whole parish by posting it on our parish web page over the summer.
- Voicethread is another way to invite dialogue and share faith in a creative visual and auditory way – telling a story and recording peoples’ voices.Here is a VT from a kindergarten class, using the children’s artwork and voices to pray the Stations. This VT is private and protected, so
- Four steps to integrating technology in your ministry.Awareness – Get your ostrich head out of the sand! Now you know a little bit more about what’s out there. Start a conversation in your parish about what you have learned. Just put it out there so it’s on other people’s radar scope. Give it time to develop.Update – set up a learning schedule – allocate 10 minutes a day to watching a YouTube tutorial video on the technology you want to adapt. Ask a HS student to mentor you. Take a summer class next year and immerse yourself. Ask the IT faculty at your Catholic school to give little tutorials. Tech integration is happening in education – just not so much in ministries yet. Try it! You can play with this stuff – most of it is free, ad supported. Just spend some time trying it out after you have learned the basics.Find Others – don’t let technology isolate you. Find others who share your interest in sanctifying the digital continent. Join Digital Catechesis network. SHARE your product with others.
