Social media for Wisconsin Catholics

With the USCCB Fall Assembly going on and several bishop actively participating with social media, I thought I'd try to put together a list for Wisconsin.  Please update me if I missed anyone.

None of the bishops of the state are on Twitter

Dioceses on Twitter:
Archdiocese of Milwaukee
Diocese of Madison
Diocese of Green Bay

Bishops on Facebook:
Bishop Robert Morlino
Bishop Donald Hying

Dioceses on Facebook:
Archdiocese of Milwaukee
Diocese of Madison
Diocese of Green Bay

Via the USCCB:

A report commissioned by the USCCB Communications Department, with funding by Catholic Communication Campaign, shows great opportunities for the Church to engage users of digital information, especially young people. To be effective, however, the report suggests that "drawing more to Catholic content may require some unconventional blending of information and entertainment."

The full report, by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate, is available here.

Is that a photo of ALL the expert Catholic bloggers in Baltimore this past weekend?

I wonder if the reason so many bishops and diocese avoid social media is because they think you must be an expert invited to special USCCB conferences to use the stuff. My diocese has none since that stuff is for big city folk.

Your Archdiocese is very good at the stuff.

Probably my favorite meme of all time is this

This is why your bishops don't get drafted for Bishball...
