"Evangelization of this 'digital continent'"

The Holy Father has released a statement and a brand new website for the 43rd World Day of Communications. He has called on everyone --- the youth especially --- to participate in the "evangelization of this 'digital continent'".

The website is http://www.pope2you.net.

There, you'll find press releases related to the event. You'll find links to the Vatican Youtube channel where you'll find videos and news from the Vatican and of the Holy Father.

There is a Facebook application on the website. And, in a few days, an iPhone app will be available as well.

Please make use of your technology skills to share your Catholic faith with others. As the Holy Father says within his statement,

When we find ourselves drawn towards other people, when we want to know more about them and make ourselves known to them, we are responding to God’s call - a call that is imprinted in our nature as beings created in the image and likeness of God, the God of communication and communion.
