** Blogging to Evangelize the Flock at Holy Rosary Parish Richmond, Virginia **
 * Capstone Project **


 * __Project Contact__**: Tanya LeSane

In order to reach out to the faith community, my project is to create a way of continuing the faith formation of adults without the necessity of their leaving the comforts of their homes. I would like to have an online blogging book discussion. I would like to choose a book and have the parishioners blog their reaction to the book. I would present questions to help the readers focus on specific sections of the book. But they would also would be able to express any feeling that the book might have aroused in them.
 * __Project Description__**: Holy Rosary is an inner-city parish. Most of the parishioners live outside of the parish's boundaries. It is very difficult and inconvenient for them to attend any of the adult faith formation session we have during the evenings.


 * __Project Goals__**


 * Offer __The Joy of the Gospel__ for an online book study for parishioners as an opportunity to both evangelize and catechize adults.
 * Create a parish blog page that will engage parishioners to continue their faith formation and to extend the experience of faith-sharing group beyond the campus of the parish grounds

Selected men and women of various ages
