St Joseph, you are the chaste and loving spouse of the Virgin Mary, the foster father of Jesus, the provider and protector of the Holy Family and all families. We have complete confidence in your loving care for life and in the fidelity to the family. Despise not our prayer but graciously hear us. Amen.

Is the Internet " capable of spreading the message"??

Or is it a playground for "off-beat birds" and dubious offers ...?

When Jesus Christ sent his Apostles and disciples to preach the message of the Kingdom of God, he told them to go to all people and therefore told them to go to the whole world (see Matthew 28.19). We believe that this is also the "World of the Internet". If Christians are not represented here on the Internet, others will take their place and will effect the education and also the 'dis-education' of people.

It is not a question of erecting a "Catholic ghetto" on the Internet, because the goal of a Catholic presence in the media is one of a missionary kind, and aims, at the same time, for an open dialogue with all power centres in society: "Test everything and retain the good!" (I Thessalonians 5.21). God is present and concealed in the hearts of humans and works even before God's word is preached. The Gospel does not estrange humans from themselves but fulfils their deepest longings and expectations, in an unsurpassable manner!

Read the Papal Message "The church must learn to cope with computer culture"
of 27th May 1989, for World Communications Day

We ask that the matter of a Catholic presence on the Internet be the subject of the special intecession of the most important Catholic press and broadcasting pioneer, Saint Father Maximillian Kolbe. On 14.08.1996 (Commemoration of St Maximillian Kolbe), we went live on the Internet for the first time.
