Tanzanian sisters use TV and social media to share the Gospel

The Congregation of Sisters of Our Lady of Usambara (COLU) in Tanzania has adopted television and social media platforms as tools for evangelization. The sisters use these channels to share the Gospel message, engage young people, and respond to questions about Catholic faith. As technology and communication methods continue to evolve, the congregation has recognized the opportunity to reach broader audiences through digital media. By combining traditional religious practice with contemporary communication platforms, the sisters are adapting their evangelical mission to meet people where they increasingly spend their time and attention. This approach allows them to respond directly to inquiries about faith and to connect with younger generations who may not engage with traditional parish-based religious instruction. The sisters' use of television and social networks represents an intentional effort to make Catholic teaching and spiritual guidance accessible through the channels that shape modern communication and community.
