EVANGELIZING THROUGH MODERN MEDIA
Smart Liturgy is a groundbreaking initiative by Don Bosco Media, designed to evangelize and engage people using social media and contemporary technologies. This creative venture aims to help individuals celebrate liturgy in a meaningful and innovative manner. By leveraging modern means of social communication, the center facilitates Smart Evangelization, reaching thousands of faithful every week.
Weekly Digital Resources
Each week, Don Bosco Media shares a comprehensive set of liturgical materials via Google Drive. These resources are distributed through various platforms, including email, Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. The weekly package includes:
- Theme Posters: Crafted based on the liturgical readings and specific feasts, these posters feature images and Gospel texts. They are available in English and Tamil, with a blank version for other languages.
- Liturgy for the Day: Detailed liturgical guidelines to help the faithful follow and participate in the services.
- Readings and Sermons: Prepared in both English and Tamil, these are designed to deepen understanding and reflection.
- Theme Song and Responsorial Psalm: Selected to resonate with the day's theme, with psalms composed in simple tunes to encourage congregational singing.
- PowerPoint Presentations: Ready for church projection, enhancing the liturgical experience visually.
All these materials can be conveniently accessed through a single link: https://linktr.ee/smartliturgy
