Portuguese Catholic Digital Missionaries initiative

Overview

The Catholic Church in Portugal has established a national network for online evangelization through the inaugural National Meeting of Digital Missionaries in Alfândega da Fé. The event gathered over three thousand participants, including content creators and communicators, to discuss the Church’s presence in the digital world.

Bishop Nuno Almeida noted that the digital realm has become a “major frontier for mission work.” Organizers aimed to move beyond mere content production to foster authentic human connection and develop a manifesto for digital engagement to be shared with the Portuguese Episcopal Conference.

Following the success of the first meeting, the Archdiocese of Évora has been selected to host the second National Meeting of Digital Missionaries in 2028. The initiative continues to focus on building networks between dioceses, parishes, and institutions to improve communication on digital platforms.
