20-Somethings Voice: Our Blog
The 20-something is constantly connected. Email, the Internet, Facebook, web-enabled phones, and Twitter have ‘helped’ our generation stay up to date on our friends, family and news. But, what has it done to help us grow in our faith?
With the recent refresh of the Catholic 20 Somethings Web site, we hope to provide a more engaging and interactive way for 20-somethings in central Texas to stay current on spiritual and social activities and also share our Catholic experiences. The overall goal of The Voice blog is to give our generation of Catholics a voice in conversations that matter, a voice about how to best give glory to God. Whether it’s in the Church or in the mainstream media, our voice is one that is often overlooked and underrepresented.
In chatting with Justin Golbabai, Coordinator of the Catholic20Somethings, he told me that he wanted this blog to inform priests and bishops, across the country, on the pulse of Catholics in their 20s. ”I would love for Bishop Aymond, the staff in charge of Young Adult ministry for the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops, the Catholic Spirit, and others in the blogosphere to follow the articles that come out of our blog.”
The Voice is one way we as 20somethings can engage and evangelize across the Web and eventually the culture at large. We hope this blog will be a forum for our generation of Catholics to have conversations about faith, politics, and how we should live our lives.
Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement believed the way saints attracted followings was to do good and to tell people about it. The support Day got from the newspaper helped finance the shelter, and the shelter helped keep her connected with what she was writing about. The Voice is our Catholic Worker newspaper, an opportunity to inform a generation of Catholic saints of what ‘doing good’ really means and having conversations with people about radically changing the culture we live in.
