At the congress\u00a0of Mission with Youth, the current way of \u201cseeking new ways for the Word of God to reach hearts\u201d via social media was addressed. St Eugene, who used every possible means to communicate the Gospel in his time, would have loved being around today to use every available eletronic means possible.<\/p>\n

In getting this message out we want to be courageous in using all the accessible methods of communication and social media. We know the dangers these resources have, but we want to work together with you to encourage all types of media to be an edifying source of God\u2019s word to all its users, not tools to enslave them.
