WHAT IS CATHOLIC SOCIAL MEDIA?

Did you know that Catholic parishes that post regularly on social media see higher rates of Mass attendance and stewardship?

Starting in 2025, the diocese has made a new tool available for FREE to schools and parishes to help easily schedule Catholic content on social media. The Catholic Social Media platform will help you find diocesan content to share on social media, upload and schedule your own social media content, and/or download content for use in bulletins, websites, and other communications. Catholic Social Media makes it easy to share and post timely Catholic content with just a few clicks.

Every school or parish collaboration has been asked to designate at least one person to access this new tool called Catholic Social Media.

Some users have been receiving an alert that they can upgrade to continue receiving Catholic Social Media (CSM) content. To clarify: Your access to this platform and all content from the Diocese of Youngstown or that you create is 100% FREE to all parishes, schools & diocesan offices. A small % of parishes do choose to pay for that additional CSM content, but it is absolutely not necessary.
