Keywords:
Catholic faith, digital catechesis, digital media, nias deaneryAbstract
The development of digital technology has affected various aspects of life, including in the Catholic Church. The Church sees that it is time and must be brave to adapt to digital media. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of digital catechesis in building the faith of Catholics in Nias Deanery, Sibolga Diocese. Using descriptive qualitative research method, the informants consisted of catechists and pastoral personnel. The results showed that the use of digital media in the Nias Deanery is quite high, but the implementation of digital catechesis is still low. Although challenges such as unstable internet networks and lack of digital skills exist, there are great opportunities to maximise the use of digital media as a means of teaching the faith. Therefore, the Church needs to provide training and support in the use of digital media to increase the effectiveness of catechesis among parishioners.
