CCCom Leads Digital Evangelization Sessions for Religious and Faith Communities
The Archdiocese of Caceres Commission on Communications continues to strengthen the Church’s presence in the digital sphere through a series of formation sessions on digital evangelization, engaging both religious communities and parish workers in Naga City.
The first session was conducted for the Daughters of Mary during their annual institute renewal at the Mater Ecclesiae Retreat Center. Fr. Francis Tordilla delivered a reflection on the call to become “online missionaries,” emphasizing the Church’s mission in what he described as the “digital continent.” He encouraged the sisters to see digital platforms not merely as tools, but as real spaces for encounter, witness, and evangelization.
Complementing this theological grounding, Mike Multo provided a practical session on visual storytelling. Drawing from his experience in the CCCom livestream team, he shared techniques on capturing compelling photos and videos, as well as creating short-form “reel catechesis” that can effectively communicate the faith to modern audiences.
A second session was held at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Tabuco, where parish leaders are preparing for the 75th anniversary of their chaplaincy in Naga City. With this milestone in view, the community expressed its intention to organize and strengthen its Social Communications Ministry.
Antonette Eduardo opened the session by discussing the responsible and mission-oriented use of social media for the Church. She highlighted the importance of authenticity, prudence, and purpose in digital engagement.
Fr. Tordilla followed with a talk underscoring the urgency of digital evangelization for all faith communities. He also introduced the role of artificial intelligence as a “potent evangelizing tool,” capable of assisting ministries in content creation, catechesis, and communication—if used ethically and creatively.
Once again, Multo engaged participants with hands-on guidance in photography, video composition, and storytelling, equipping them with skills to bring their parish life and mission into the digital space.
Through these back-to-back sessions, CCCom reaffirms its commitment to forming digital missionaries across the archdiocese—empowering communities to proclaim the Gospel with clarity, creativity, and conviction in today’s rapidly evolving media landscape.
