Bishops and various congregations of women religious are using the internet to keep the faithful informed about activities in their dioceses and stay in touch with those who live faraway.
Asianews reports that blogs have allowed some to discover the Catholic faith and become baptised.
Mgr Kenjiro Koriyama, the 64-year-old bishop of Kagoshima, is among the internet’s pioneers. He has been online since the 1990s and from a pastoral point of view the results have been satisfactory. His blog or online diary, 24-hourBishop@Ken'sPage, is updated almost every day. |

 It was 19h30 and Fr Zé and I had just returned to Madadeni. My heel was giving me much pain and accompanied by Fr Zé, I was attended to at the first aid section of the Private Hospital in Newcastle. The doctor who attended to my heel told me not to worry, as there were no broken bones but only a lot of bruising. He did not charge me for the consultation.That night when in bed and feeling the pain on my foot, I recalled what was to me a very happy and enjoyable occasion – my farewell to Osizweni mission after being their shepherd for eight years. |
