  • A Webinar on New Media for Evangelization
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Apr26
    About a month ago I facilitated a webinar (online seminar) for Singaporean youth communicators. The title of my presentation was "Church 2.0 - New Media at the Service of the Word". The main objective of the one-hour presentation was to teach participants how to take advantage of new media in proclaiming the Word of God.

  • 10 Nuns to Follow on Twitter
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Dec15

  • Priests Who Tweet
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Dec10
    Following priests on Twitter can be a stimulating experience. While their main goal is to spread God's Word, they also tweet about their everyday experiences, their opinion on issues that affect all of us, and about other things that engage and excite their attention and curiosity. There are those who tweet their prayers. Others talk about the liturgy. There are also those who provide the latest updates from their Church and from their mission areas.

  • Using Dolls to Promote Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life
    Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC Dec8
    I have worked as a Vocations Director for over a year and I have seen some truly creative ways of promoting vocations to the priesthood and religious life. But never have I thought that someone would actually use dolls as vocations promotion tools. I think using huggable dolls to foster vocations among the young is actually cool. And this is not an entirely novel idea. Dolls have been around since the dawn of civilization and they've been used for various purposes. Ancient cultures used d... more »
