Preaching is a foundational Redemptorist ministry and is at the core of our new digital evangelisation platform/mobile phone app called, The Preached Word.
We are developing this high-quality digital platform as a new portal for Evangelisation. The app will host high quality videos featuring various preachers and new voices from around Ireland. With so much of the Church’s mission and outreach shifting online during the Covid pandemic, the power of digital platforms was magnified. The internet is the core pillar of modern communication and mobile phones have now become the most important channel for internet access worldwide.
The preaching platform will include a variety of people who are involved in ministry, social and justice issues, academic theologians etc. who will reflect on various aspects of Church and mission today in light of the Gospel. The platform will also foster a culture of Synodality particularly in giving voice to a wide variety of people and grounding the Church to the world outside its ecclesial space. The hope is that this platform will be a ‘go-to’ space that the public can log in and access in their own free time and at their own pace.
