Romo Joseph Speaks at Unindo XV Munas

Father Joseph Susanto told bishops and priests at the XV Unindo National Conference in Pematangsiantar that digital ministry must move beyond screens to include real actions of compassion. Speaking at the Catholic Center in the Archdiocese of Medan on September 15, 2026, the priest, who uses YouTube for ministry, argued that being known in digital spaces does not automatically make someone an evangelist.

Father Joseph stated that spirituality must serve as the root of digital ministry and that teaching provides content and direction. He noted that these elements are incomplete without concrete actions for others, as the digital world should not be viewed as separate from real life.
