For Catholic Bloggers (ATX Catholic Reflection Day Quick Takes)

Published May 5, 2016 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Prayer, Social Media and Tech, Young Adult, Youth

For bloggers, as people who are often plugged in, absorbing information, writing and interacting online, etc – how blessed a day of reflection can be! I think this was a common sentiment for all of us that attended the ATX Catholic Day of Reflection last weekend. Speaking for myself, it was a great gift to… [Read More]

Taking Steps Toward the Savior (Review: “Forming Intentional Disciples”)

Published January 5, 2016 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Faith, Resources, Reviews

Do you have a relationship with Jesus? Do you believe God has a mission for your life? Do you tell other people, honestly and openly, about the ways the Holy Spirit works in your day-to-day? Or does all of that sound “too Protestant”? Are those things normal for you? Do you feel like a little… [Read More]

A Response to “What Sucks about the Catholic Church”

Published June 23, 2015 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith

Every spring brings the Church a batch of shiny new Catholics, and every year I see the same list of complaints. No, not the ones about people “taking your pew.” The ones about the niggling weaknesses in the Church. Many adults who enter the Catholic Church, especially those who were members of other Christian traditions… [Read More]

New Media and the Family: Pope Francis speaking on Covenant Culture

Published November 3, 2014 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Faith, World and News

Just moments after the Pope’s audience with the Schoenstatt Movement in Rome, his words were reverberating in twitter and in blogs. Which words? The Pope’s strong words about the state of marriage today. These clear and straightforward words were picked up quickly and passed on. The world of the media heard them. “Marriage has never… [Read More]

Called to Life

Published October 20, 2014 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

Today I really can’t write about anything other than the crazy huge party that happened all over the world this past weekend! The Schoenstatt Movement celebrated 100 years since it’s foundation, on October 18th, 1914, when a group of boys and Fr Joseph Kentenich sealed the original Covenant of Love with the Blessed Mother. Rather than go into… [Read More]

Can the Old Be Made New Again? (Review: “Restoring the Sacred in Omaha”)

Published September 30, 2014 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

You know we are living in strange times when an article is shared on Facebook 2,800 times yet I only see it because an old friend posted it. I was intrigued because I keep my eyes open for new perspectives on books or ideas that have already crossed my mind. In this case, it’s my… [Read More]

Apologetics Should Not Be Catholic Bible-Thumping

Published May 13, 2014 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith

These days, at least in my circles, Catholics are familiar with the concept of apologetics. It is from the Greek apologia, which is not an “I’m sorry” speech, but a defensive speech. It’s more like an explanation than an apology. People who are defending their beliefs usually aren’t sorry they believe those things, anyway! It… [Read More]

New Evangelization, Reality TV, and Parenting

Published September 26, 2013 • Written by Trey and Stephanie Cashion Filed Under: Column

Effective parenting calls for new ways of communicating the Faith to children. In essence, parents must answer the call to the New Evangelization in their own homes with their own children.  As parents, we’re called to find ways in every day life to convey the truths of the faith in ways that, perhaps, are a… [Read More]

What Pope Francis is Asking from Us

Published September 20, 2013 • Written by Julia Motekaitis Filed Under: Blog

photo credit: the guardian Today I read several different excerpts from various publications of the August 2013 interview with Pope Francis from the America Magazine and tried to process the angles which were presented.  I admit, several of the Holy Father’s points I found refreshingly honest and true, yet they simultaneously left me with a… [Read More]

Your Intro to RCIA (Review: “Waking Up Catholic”)

Published September 3, 2013 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

The journey to Catholicism can be a winding one. Some sharp stones have been pressed in by years of habit, and some gems are waiting just around the next bend. It can be tricky to navigate the path. Sometimes you want a companion on the journey. Sometimes you just want a simple road map. Waking… [Read More]

How Serious Are We About The New Evangelization?

Published May 3, 2013 • Written by Jason Elizondo Filed Under: Social Media and Tech

Last week over at my Being Saint Joseph Podcast I talked about Zach Braff’s new Kickstarter to support “Wish I Was Here” his follow-up to “Garden State”, which is billed as a sequel in tone but not story. In a little over three days Zach managed to raise over 2 million dollars and is still… [Read More]

The Purpose-Driven Catholic Church (Review: “Rebuilt”)

Published March 5, 2013 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Faith, Reviews

I am a parish employee. Campus ministry works in some significantly different ways than geographical parishes, but for practical purposes (such as when people ask what I do), I work in a parish. I’m betting pretty strongly that most of you reading this either currently belong to a parish, go to Mass, or used to… [Read More]

Vatican II & Social Communication

Published January 31, 2013 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Faith, Social Media and Tech

So I’ve been studying Vatican II lately (the Second Vatican Council) – not formally or anything, just reading up on it for fun (yes, for fun!). It IS the 50th anniversary of the opening Vat II after all – which is, of course, a fundamental part of the spirit/reason behind the Year of Faith. And… [Read More]

Here at Austin Catholic New Media, we strive to harness the most popular social technologies of the day to aid in the New Evangelization. In other words, since everyone and his grandma is on Facebook, can we share our Catholic lives in photos and status updates? Can we use YouTube to teach people about Catholicism?… [Read More]

The Many Faces of Evangelization

Published September 29, 2011 • Written by Martina Filed Under: Blog

Whenever I hear the words “New Evangelization,” my ears perk up, like a child who is watching those fabulous toy commercials that make them feel like they HAVE to have, well, everything under the sun. Except, I am assured that my grabby hands and “want want want” are necessary and needed in today’s society. So,… [Read More]
