I gave the following presentation last Saturday at the St. Scholastica's College in Manila. The audience were mostly parents of high school students. The main premise of the talk is that online social networks, such as Facebook, Multiply and Twitter, have their advantages and usefullness but porn and other inappropriate content are also lurking on the world wide web. Thus young people do not only need to be safe and smart online but also have to develop a greater sense of responsibility in their... more »

Last week I posted a list of ten priests who tweet. This time let's follow these ten consecrated sisters on Twitter. The ten tech-savvy sisters use Twitter to draw people to God and to communicate His Word through the popular micro-blogging platform. These nuns represent the growing number of priests, religious and lay faithful who make good use of Twitter, as it is a powerful vehicle for evangelization and can provide both inspiration and encouragement. This list below is not a complet... more »

Posted by Fr. Stephen, MSC

Can the real-time web bring real world change? Thus asked Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as she delivered her keynote address during the Le Web tech conference a few days ago in Paris, France. She pointed out that poverty, disease and education are the big challenges facing today's world. Then later she asked: can social networks solve these social problems? I completely agreed with her when she said that online activism can effect real change in the of... more »

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. Some of them even have tens of thousands o... more »

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 »

The importance of video in learning Linux cannot be overemphasized. For most people, the best way to learn is to watch someone do it first. One great advantage of video tutorials is that learners can work at their own pace. They can watch the recording, pause it, go to a particular time code, stop it and watch it as many times as they need. The video tutorials and screencasts offered in the following sites cover a wide range of Linux systems and applications. Most of the free tutorials are d... more »
