International Gathering of Digital Missionaries and Communicators in Argentina – June 2026

The digital world: a prophetic mission for our time

The digital mission is today an essential pillar of evangelization. Not only because technology is advancing, but because we live immersed in a digital culture. Our goal is not simply to “use” social networks, but to meet those who live on them 24/7. Accompanying this change of era, infusing culture with the values of the Gospel, and presenting ourselves as a vibrant, young, and welcoming Church, capable of speaking today’s language, is the path to bringing Jesus to the hearts of our brothers and sisters.

It is a prophetic mission. Understanding it, embodying it, and living it is the great evangelizing challenge of the present. And we are called to do it with a youthful spirit: young people are our inspiration, an inexhaustible source of creativity, searches, and dreams. They are already leading the new world, and we want to learn from their transformative drive.

The images are from previous gatherings.

This year, from Schoenstatt Communicators – Digital Missionaries, we have made valuable steps by offering a series of webinars inspired by the Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers. We had the invaluable support of Msgr. Lucio Ruiz, Secretary of the Dicastery for Communication, who brought clarity, vision, and motivation to give soul and meaning to this mission.

As a Schoenstatt family, we want to fully embrace this prophetic calling: to create spaces for encounter alongside leaders of the Church, to discern the current challenges, and to form ourselves to interpret the languages and realities of digital culture. We know that evangelizing today requires training, a professional perspective, creativity… but also community, prayer, and spiritual depth.

That’s why, with great joy, we invite you to the International Gathering of Digital Missionaries and Communicators, which will take place in Argentina on June 6 and 7, 2026.
