Angela Sealana seems to type with a smile, and I dare you to not be amused and entranced by her. [![Angela1](https://www.catholicmom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Angela1-550x366.jpg?width=385&height=256&name=Angela1-550x366.jpg)](http://catholicmom.com/?attachment_id=40771) Back when her last name had different letters after the S (Santana), she wrote [an honors thesis about new media and the New Evangelization](http://www.slideshare.net/inspiredangela/new-media-new-evangelization-the-unique-benefits-of-new-media-and-why-the-catholic-church-should-engage-them) and also put together [a pretty awesome presentation about the same](http://www.slideshare.net/inspiredangela/reaching-individuals-in-a-social-media-age-a-resource-for-the-catholic-church). Grab your coffee and cozy up for a bit of time with a woman who's doing amazing things. ### **Tell us about yourself in five words or less.** > Newlywed. Evangelizer. Listener. Graphic designer. ### **Of your pursuits, what's your favorite?** > I enjoy anything that allows me to teach or mentor others. My blog highlights resources, tools and inspiration for fellow Catholics in ministry. At work, I created a Media & Ministry Internship program through which I pass on tips and lessons I've learned while forming college students who are passionate about their faith. > >   > > If you're reading this, in ministry professionally, and in a position to mentor, I encourage you to consider doing so. The Church currently has more young people open to lay ministry positions than perhaps ever before, and they need encouragement and direction. ### **When you think of the New Evangelization from your approach as a "Catholic Techie," what excites you? What makes you want to continue?** > As a digital native, tech has always been part of my life. I get much of my knowledge about Church teaching, history, devotions, and news  *online*. So, when more Church leaders understand the importance of excellence in Catholic communications - when they "get it" - and when they seek opportunities to "step up" their efforts, to "be not afraid," and " *duc in altum*" as John Paul II said... that's when I get a rush of excitement. > >   > > The apostles had no clue - and probably little understanding - what would happen when they cast their nets "into the deep," and still our Lord rewarded their obedience and small step of faith with an abundant catch! So I admire and appreciate that same spirit of openness from clerical and lay ministry leaders who open themselves to the possibilities of evangelization through new media. In their openness, God can - and will - do great things. ### **What's the most rewarding aspect of your work?** > What's better than working for God? Each morning, I visit Jesus in our ministry's chapel and thank him for the chance to give him back the gifts he's given me. I ask the Holy Spirit to make me an instrument and to give me the charisms & creativity I'll need in the day ahead. I ask the Father to make my work a fruitful and pleasing gift to him. > >   > > The rewards are in every interaction my coworkers and I have with someone who has grown in their faith. There's no better possible result - that's the pearl of great price. ### ** In your spare time, what are we likely to find you doing? Do you have a gadget in hand or do you go native and screenless? ** > Most of my free time is spent praying / with my husband, or cleaning! We've made scheduling prayer and together-time a priority as newlyweds so that all our interactions, decisions and family life will maintain a firm foundation and focus. > >   > > I don't have a smartphone since I'm a simple girl at heart, but I use an iPod touch to keep up with podcasts while cleaning, or to read blogs and news. Print magazines are one of my favorite splurges, and I love reading about the saints. *Copyright 2013 Sarah Reinhard* ### Share this article [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F01%2F14%2Fcatholic-techie-angela-sealana%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F01%2F14%2Fcatholic-techie-angela-sealana%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F01%2F14%2Fcatholic-techie-angela-sealana%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Catholic%20Techie%20Angela%20Sealana) [![Share on Email](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/email-24x24.png)](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F01%2F14%2Fcatholic-techie-angela-sealana%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail%20&body=Check%20out%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catholicmom.com%2Farticles%2F2013%2F01%2F14%2Fcatholic-techie-angela-sealana%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Demail) ** #### About the Author ![Sarah Reinhard](https://www.catholicmom.com/hubfs/_catholicmom/Contriubutors/SARAH%20REINHARD.jpeg) ### [Sarah Reinhard](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/sarah-reinhard) When she’s not chasing kids, chugging coffee, or juggling work, Sarah Reinhard’s usually trying to stay up read just one … more … chapter.
