How to use social media as a positive Catholic influence in the world today
With the Catholic Church more mainstream in today’s culture, Catholic influencers are on the rise. So much so that the Vatican recently celebrated the Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers.
We welcome guests Father Cesar Jaramillo and Salesian Sister Guerline Joseph, who know a thing or two about making connections on social media. They discuss with Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney and Cecile Pagliarulo -- who manages the social media accounts for the Diocese of Paterson -- how they use their digital presence as a positive influence in the world today.
To begin the episode, Bishop Sweeney is joined by Communications Director Jai Agnish to discuss current events, including the death of Father Rafael Ciro and the September 11 attacks.
Through his Instagram account, Father Cesar posts about moments of his priesthood, which include the historic time of being in Rome during the conclave and the election of Pope Leo XIV.
Sister Joseph helps run her community’s account, showing the lives of Salesian Sisters in action.
Father Jaramillo was recently named pastor of Holy Spirit Parish and School in Pequannock, N.J., and serves in the Diocesan Tribunal Office. Sister Joseph serves as associate director for youth and young adult ministry for the Archdiocese of Newark.
