Catholic Apostolate Center Launches New Social Media Crash Course
WASHINGTON, DC – With the ever increasing use of social media amongst the Church’s population, parishes, ministries, and other Catholic organizations are looking for ways to engage their constituencies through this medium. In response to this need, the Catholic Apostolate Center, through its pilot program with the Archdiocese of Washington: Apostles on Mission, has created the Social Media Crash Course. It can be viewed at: www.socialmediacrashcourse.com.
This new resource features guides, tips, and tricks on how you can utilize Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube effectively in your ministries. Step-by-step instructions on how to set up each of these platforms are available along with suggestions for how to get the most out of each of the platforms. Catholic Apostolate Center Director, Fr. Frank Donio, said, "The Center's new Social Media Crash Course will help parishes, organizations, and individuals use well these powerful tools for the work of evangelization."
Working alongside Apostles on Mission participant Emily Smith, the Center’s Information Technology Coordinator, Nick Wagman and Assistant Director of Programs, Jonathan Sitko, compiled the information needed to make the resource easy to use and easy to share. When asked what impact this new resource might have, Nick said, "Social Media Crash Course is an excellent resource to help parishes and church ministries connect with Catholics where they are online. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter can be an integral part of a parish outreach strategy for the new evangelization."
Visit the crash course at: www.socialmediacrashcourse.com today and learn more about how you can effectively utilize social media to evangelize.

The Catholic Apostolate Center is a ministry of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate (Pallottines) - Immaculate Conception Province.
