This program of catechesis—even in the prisons—in Australia by the Australian Bishops, as reported by Zenit, is a great idea, one that should be considered here.
An excerpt.
“SYDNEY, Australia, NOV. 4, 2009 (Zenit.org).- The Gospel message was sent through the Internet today to isolated places, even prisons, in a global e-conference organized by the Australian bishops.
“A press release from the bishops' conference reported that thousands of people, including convicts from Sydney's Long Bay Correctional Centre and Silverwater Correctional Centre, tuned in to the online conference to learn more about the Gospel of Luke.
“Through the Internet, individuals joined the global network of participants from across Australia, as well as Rome, Great Britain, the Irish Republic, Northern Ireland, the United States, the Philippines, Korea, Fiji and New Zealand. They were able to listen to the talks and send in questions by email, which were then answered throughout the day.
“The conference, titled "Come to the Table," is the second of its kind, following the successful online presentation on St. Paul last June.
“The events were organized by the bishops' conference along with The Broken Bay Institute.”
