Building Community: Use of Social Media in Ministry

Dr. Cattapan will share with us how social media can be a powerful tool in ministry in both schools and parishes. We'll examine how popular forms of social media, like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, can be used not only for communication and evangelization, but also to help create a sense of community. This is an ideal session for school and parish leaders as well as those in charge of communication, marketing, and media.
