Diocese of Brooklyn's New Campaign has selfies and hashtags. Yes, I said selfies and hashtags

Catholics are putting all the conservatism aside and now hope modern technology will appeal to millennial Catholics.

In its new Christmas ad campaign, the diocese is reaching out to the young through print ads featuring trendy images like a woman taking a selfie with Jesus in the background.

The Catholic group is also using #BrooklynCatholic to appeal to young adults.

According to The New York Times, the effort to increase church attendance comes at a difficult time for New York City's Catholics, with more than 50 parishes having closed.

Stefanie Gutierrez, press secretary of the Diocese of Brooklyn says that Christmas season is the best time to appeal to those who had gone away from church.

"Christmas is when people go home for holidays", says Gutierrez.
And you, what do you think about this catholic endeavor. Very interesting, huh?
