Your assignment for this segment is to post a SHORT reflection paragraph about what you learned from reading ONE of the church publications listed below. Your reflection can be about anything you found interesting or relevant to your ministry in your reading. For example, you could reflect on your role as a catechist in maintaining a safe online environment in compliance with the diocesan guidelines. Or you could reflect on the themes related to moral responsibility that you read about in Inter Mirifica. Choose something that is interesting and relevant to you.

** Your name. Name of the document you read. Your Reflection. **
(Paula Penepent) __USCCB Guidelines.__ I found this document to be helpful at many levels. First it clearly defined the various means and aspects of social media. Next it gave clear directives for setting up and administering as well as posting on social media platforms. The information was practical and made an impact on the importance of maintaining a Catholic and professional presence and how to respond when one is not respectful of the Teachings of the Church or the dignity of the human person. Overall, I will go back to this document as I set up social media for the ministry I am involved in and check our Diocese' guidelines also.
