Guardians for the Future

Guardian Angels — Catholics like you — have brought decades of Catholic history in Arkansas to the Internet, free to everyone. Thousands of pages of fragile, irreplaceable newspaper archives from 1911 through 2001 have been digitally preserved and posted online. It's an exciting success story that prepares us to take the next step -- connecting with the next generation. Increasing numbers of young adults are not engaging with the Church like previous generations. Even young people who faithfully attend Mass are getting their news in different ways. They are less interested in reading a printed newspaper, and more interested in digital news, e-mail, social media and websites that they access on their phones. Because of that challenge, your gift to the Guardian Angels Fund is needed to invest in new technology and other resources to help keep those young adults connected to the Church — and better serve all Catholics in the diocese.
