The Internet is changing the way people live their lives. It is also changing the way the Catholic Church reaches its faithful. Now parishes can reach more people, with more frequency, with more ease and with messages of evangelization that carries more impact. ParishWorld.net is the most exciting communication tool for evangelization that is available for Catholic parishes today.

Starting off as a personal ministry work for his own parish, publisher Wally Arida grew the parish magazine concept from one single parish to its present stature as America's favorite Catholic lifestyle magazine. Its audience reaches parishes and Catholics from all over the world. It is a story of true evangelization in action.

In this episode, Fr. Mike and Wally Arida talk about the internet, the ParishWorld.net mission and the personal struggles that led to the development of what today is the premier online parish communication tool.
