Communities wishing to tap into the increasing opportunities of the Internet can make use of the services of Institute on Religious Life (IRL) webmaster Kevin Banet. If your community is listed on www.religiouslife.com/vocsearch, Mr. Banet will launch or expand your presence on the Web at these bargain rates:

Now is the time

The Holy Father is encouraging Catholics to use the Internet. In 2002 Pope John Paul II issued a Church document, "Internet: A New Forum for Proclaiming the Gospel." He said,

We must enter into this modern and ever more replete communications network with realism and confidence, convinced that, if it is used with competence and conscientious responsibility, it can offer useful opportunities for spreading the Gospel message.

Fr. John Regan, the Joliet, Ill. vocation director, at the 2002 Third Continental Congress on Vocations in Montreal, ("The Internet and Vocation Awareness") told members,

If vocation ministers are to affect the youth culture today, they must be Internet savvy.

The IRL is one of the most popular sites for communities faithful to authentic Catholic religious and consecrated life. Your link through the IRL is essential in attracting new colleagues and vocations to your community.

Mr. Banet will promptly put up your Web presence. A letter from a contemplative community in Illinois said,

The day your post card arrived saying that you had 'parked' our pages on the IRL site, we received a note from a young woman who had seen them there and wanted more information about our community.

You don't have to have a computer in your house or even use e-mail. Your Web page will tell visitors to contact you by phone or US mail. Contact Kevin Banet today.
