Social Media to Connect More

Social distancing has made it difficult for us to see our friends and family.  However, technology allows us to keep “close” even while we are keeping everyone safe from the virus.  A great example of this is through the use of social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and even group video chats such as Zoom. A choral organization in Ontario Canda called “Choir! Choir! Choir! (CCC)” organized, a worldwide social singing event named “Choir!ntine” using Facebook, to provide assurance that we are not alone in this fight. Other ways organizations are using social media to bring comfort into peoples’ homes, is via the usage of live streaming. One of the local churches in Wexford, Saints John and Paul, live streams its masses every day at 9 am.
