Learning from the experience of their American brothers and sisters who experienced the influx of vocations in USA because of their American website (marymediatrix.com, an average of three emails a week for vocation inquiry), the friars in Australia hope to achieve similar ends would take place in their new cyberspace presence.

If there is anything that young people in particular and adult of all age in general, is engaged with, it is often the internet activities. Although it can be a powerful instrument of communication and evangelization, the internet can be man's worst enemy when placed in evil hands the intent to corrupt morals and conduct. Hence, the internet site of the friars in Australia is designed to be used also as means of evangelization in the future.

The Australian website features primarily the religious life and apostolate of the Franciscans of the Immaculate in Australia, promotion of vocations, advertisement of events of the communities as well and spiritual formation by making available written catechetical and Marian articles. The friars hope to expand many features of their site in the future that would deploy multimedia content. We are pleased to make our Lady present in the "Australian cyberspace".
