As The Catholic Post transitions to a biweekly publication, we have boosted our presence in the digital world of communications to keep readers informed between deadlines.

In addition to daily updates of our Web site, the newspaper has launched its own page on the social networking site Facebook. As of Tuesday morning, March 30, we already have 327 “fans.”

Facebook is an interactive site open to anyone age 13 or older who has an e-mail address. Claiming more than 400 million active users, it has become a popular way for family, friends, and people of common interests to stay in touch.

By becoming a “fan” of The Catholic Post on Facebook, readers can be alerted to breaking news stories, be linked to important new content on our Web site and around the Catholic press, view photos from events that did not make it into the print publication, and more.

Current Facebook users can become a “fan” of The Catholic Post by searching for the newspaper’s name and then clicking “Become a fan.” Those not presently on Facebook can join in minutes at www.facebook.com, and then search for “The Catholic Post.”
