The Pope has encouraged priests to use the power of the internet to engage people more<\/a>…<\/p>\n

Though I am not a priest, I also think it is important for the Catholic Church to use technology to reach to the masses.\u00a0 Social media like Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. are new tools to help spread the word.<\/p>\n

I also like experimenting with social media to test its effectiveness in drawing people to events and places.<\/p>\n

Saint Adalbert Basilica has close to 700 Facebook fans…I threw out a question on their Facebook page last week asking if we invited their fans<\/em> to a Sunday Mass, could we get at least 200 of them to show up.\u00a0 It sparked a little interest and with the help of Saint Adalbert’s Charlie Penasack we invited people on Facebook to come to 10:30am Mass on 07\/25\/10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have had mixed results using Facebook for events.\u00a0 Sometimes I get a lot of people who say they will come and then end up with a fraction of that number…other times, it is great success.\u00a0 I guess we will find out on 07\/25.<\/p>\n

But since you are reading this, you are invited as well…please come!<\/p>\n

It would be great to see the Basilica packed.\u00a0 It is a B-F treasure and worthy of a visit.<\/p>\n

Mark you calendars!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
