Thank You for Helping us to Go Make Disciples!
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 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. A
rchbishop 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 – older parishioners on fixed incomes, struggling families, the unemployed, prisoners and young people.
The Sooner Catholic newspaper reaches more than 40,000 Catholic homes, in print and electronically, allowing us to bring Catholic news to those who may not be able to give – families on fixed incomes, the unemployed, the imprisoned and young people.
Our office also uses more than a dozen social media platforms to deliver Catholic news, prayer, events and
other vital information to tens of thousands of Oklahoma Catholics.
Live-streaming allows people to view special liturgies in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, such as the Chrism Mass during Lent and the ordinations of priests and deacons. In February, tens of thousands of people used the archdiocesan website, archokc.org, and our YouTube channel to watch the dedication of the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine.
Our website provides free access to chancery office information, resources, a parish directory, job opportunities and much more.
Podcasts like “Red Dirt Catholics” and “Living Catholic with Father Don Wolf” provide new and engaging opportunities for a growing audience to hear more about the realities of the Good News of Jesus Christ in audio form.
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.
Thank you for your generosity and for your participation in bringing the love and mercy of Jesus Christ to thousands of Oklahomans.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Avery Holt
Interim Director of Communications
