Digital-Based Outreach

The www.thelightisonsouthernmn.org website focuses on sharing witness and healing, whereas the internal diocesan page is a space for sharing resources for churches to implement the outreach. The advantage of this is that the website is very low cost and designed to be shared easily. But it only will work if people are encouraged to share it out as an act of invitation and love.

1. Consider highlighting a page of the website once a week on your parish website.
2. Consider including a write-up about the website in your email newsletter, with a link.
3. Consider publishing the reconciliation stories on social media regularly throughout Lent. Copy and paste the first paragraph of the story in the post and add the link.
4. Consider linking the "How to make a confession page" with any digital advertisement of your communal penance service.
5. Challenge your parishioners to look at the website, pray through it, and share it with someone this Lent.
