“My dear friends,

Our Lady of Lourdes Parish is known, in the Archdiocese, as a Techie Parish as it is blessed with many Technical Experts who are conversant in Technology. To uphold this tittle, we need to make our ministries more reachable by exploiting the potentials of the available social media channels.

We do have a few social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter maintained by the individuals in the name of our parish. We intend to bring them under one umbrella to give them a professional touch; and, to do this, we should have a well-qualified and dedicated media team in our Parish, and without which we might fail, even if we make a re-start.

Needless to say, today, social media networks do play a pivotal role in building true Christian Communities and fellowship. His Holiness Pope Francis has extolled the power and the utility of the social media when he addressed the participants in a workshop hosted by the Pontifical Academy for Life on the relationship between the person, emerging technologies and the common good, and reiterated that progress of science and technology must always be at the service of human dignity and integral human development.

We want those who have expertise and interest in media and technology to join our Parish Media Team. For the sake of maintaining professionalism and to ensure continuity, we are going to set up a semi-media infrastructure in the Parish.

Our dream is to make our Parish website reaches all those sign up for it. We are happy to know that our YouTube Channel is viewed by many visitors.
Let us put in our best efforts and make our initiatives fruitful and rewarding.

With best wishes and God’s blessings,

Msgr. S. Jayanathan
Parish Priest”
