In a world filled with constant noise and distractions that don’t fulfill or satisfy, the Church’s perfect remedy is the Good News of Jesus Christ that heals and brings new life. Communicating this message today is more important than ever! From social media to live-streaming, accomplishing our mission to “Go Make Disciples” in today’s world means using all the varied communication channels available to us.
Since 1974, the flagship of our communications effort has been the Sooner Catholic newspaper. Archbishop Coakley has asked that every Catholic household in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City have free access to the Sooner Catholic in print or electronically, but your support allows us to bring Catholic news to all those who may not be able to give, such as older parishioners on fixed incomes, struggling families, the unemployed, prisoners and young people.
Live-streaming allows people from anywhere to view archdiocesan liturgies like the Chrism Mass and ordinations through YouTube and social media channels.
The archdiocesan website hosts tens of thousands of visitors each month, providing access to important resources and information.
Almost a dozen social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X deliver Catholic news, prayer, events and other vital information to tens of thousands of Oklahoma Catholics!
Podcasts like Red Dirt Catholics, Living Catholic with Father Don Wolf, the Serra Club of Oklahoma City or any of the various video productions provide engaging opportunities for a growing audience to hear more about the realities of the Good News of Jesus Christ. All of these podcasts can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts by searching the titles.
All these evangelization tools rely on yearly subscriptions through the Sooner Catholic Communications Appeal. Would you consider a gift of $100 or more to bless these evangelization efforts for years to come?
These tools and your support allow us to serve parishioners and ministries in the archdiocese and advance the mission to build a culture of conversion and discipleship.
Video productions share important information and evangelistic content to Catholics and non-Catholics alike. With thousands of subscribers, this is an important tool in sharing the Gospel in the 21st century.
Thank you for your generosity and for your participation in bringing the love and mercy of Jesus Christ to thousands of Oklahomans!
