Los Angeles, Calif., Jun 30, 2016 \/ 09:02 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- The Los Angeles archdiocese is set to launch a new media platform called Angelus News, and it looks to California\u2019s sainted missionary priest for inspiration.<\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing on the footsteps of St. Jun\u00edpero Serra, a man of heroic virtue and holiness who had only one burning ambition \u2013 to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the peoples of the New World \u2013 we now need to send missionaries to proclaim the Gospel in this new digital era,\u201d Archbishop Jos\u00e9 Gomez said June 29.<\/p>\n

He reflected that the Gospel\u2019s message never changes, but Christians \u201cneed to always be looking for the \u2018language\u2019 that best communicates our Lord\u2019s saving truths.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new multimedia platform will include news about the archdiocese\u2019s scores of parishes, schools, and ministries. Its international news coverage will be provided through a partnership with Catholic News Agency.<\/p>\n

Angelus News<\/a> will launch July 1, Junipero Serra's first feast day since his canonization. The Franciscan founded many of the missions that later became the centers of major Californian cities. He was the first saint to be canonized on U.S. soil, during Pope Francis\u2019 visit in September 2015.<\/p>\n

Users of the archdiocese\u2019s media platform will find a weekly newsmagazine Angelus, a complete daily digital edition at AngelusNews.com, a daily digital newsletter, and social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.<\/p>\n

AngelusNews.com will include video, audio, photo galleries and slideshows updated throughout the day.<\/p>\n

The Angelus News name was taken from the name of the archdiocese\u2019s patroness, Mary the Queen of the Angels, as well as from St. Gabriel the Archangel, for whom the first mission built in the archdiocese was named.<\/p>\n

The Vatican reporters John Allen and\u00a0In\u00e9s San Mart\u00edn of the news site Crux will be printed in Angelus magazine. The daily digital newsletter, to launch on July 18, is named \u201cAlways Forward,\u201d St. Jun\u00edpero Serra's motto.<\/p>\n

J.D. Long-Garcia, editor-in-chief of Angelus News, credited the media platform\u2019s origins to \u201cthe hard work of dozens of committed Catholics in the Church in Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team came together to find a way to update our news and reporting platforms to better serve contemporary Catholics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Other Angelus News contributors include Ruben Navarrette, Kathryn Jean Lopez, Grazie Pozo Christie, and Mike Aquilina. Dr. Scott Hahn will write a weekly Scripture column.<\/p>\n

Angelus News will continue to host longtime columnists from The Tidings such as Archbishop Jose Gomez, Auxiliary Bishop Robert Barron, Father Ronald Rolheiser, and Heather King.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles archdiocese says its current digital media offerings reach 3-7 million people online each week.<\/p>\n
