Communication is vitally important in today’s world and it is about more than just exchanging information. Using the media to communicate, enhances connectivity with people locally, regionally, nationally and even internationally. We need to understand the context, influences and concerns of our people and engage them in effective and relevant communication.
Social media thus plays a crucial role as a medium of communication. Information technology and social media platforms can be a powerful tool for this mission as we live in a time of intact communication where everyone responds to messages, tweets and updates, thus enabling instant sharing. It is effective and essential for the church to provide information about our faith as well as share about church related activities.
With this in mind, Good Shepherd church, Andheri (W) announced its Parish Media Cell (erstwhile known as the Parish Communication Cell), effective from August 2018. Its aim is to effectively use the parish social media applications ie:- Face book, Instagram, Whatsapp, You Tube, Website and parish bulletin- Flock News.
The team provides inputs that include content, posters, reels, memes, videos etc. The parish events, SCC community and zonal activities as well as upcoming events and activities are collated, edited and forwarded on the social media accounts of the parish.
Flock News is the quarterly parish bulletin and it helps our parishioners stay in touch and be made aware of the various activities carried out by the parish. All activities, events, programs that are carried out by the parish, zones and SCC communities are featured in the bulletin.
Through these various social media platforms the team’s objective is to connect with the parish as a whole as well as encourage feedback and suggestions from parishioners, activate them to a higher level of improvement and participation in Parish programs.
