.- Since
the start of 2006, the Austrian Diocese of Graz has begun sending a
curious gift to all young people who celebrate their 18th
birthday: a USB hard drive with information about the Catholic
Church.
According to the
Kath.net news agency, the portable hard drives contain information
about the Diocese of Graz presented in a manner that is attractive to
young people, as well as texts about the Catholic faith and a series of
basic Christian prayers.
In a press
release, the diocese said the purpose of the gifts is “to send the
traditional birthday greeting of the Bishop to all those in the diocese
who become legal adults, through the presentation of the aforementioned
information.”
The initiative
is intended to deepen and improve the relationship between young people
and the Church and at the same time promote the acceptance and
understanding of their necessary contribution to the mission of the
Church.
