Bishop Frank Dougan will lead a new national office for communications and evangelisation to better proclaim Christ.
The announcement ties in with World Communications Day, which is this Sunday (1 June).
It has been held each year since 1967 on the Sunday before Pentecost, marking the role of media and communication in spreading the Gospel.
He said: "We plan to build on the work done by groups, parishes and dioceses and produce quality content across the various media platforms so that we can keep on spreading the Word.
"(Your) support will help us as the Church in Scotland to use all the means of communication to help bring others to Christ.
"I look forward to sharing with you the work of this Office which will develop over the coming months.
"You will see how it truly responds to the urgency of Christ’s Mission."
Social media
Bishop Frank Dougan, of Galloway Diocese, has been given the responsibility for communications by the Bishops' Conference of Scotland.
He added that social media is a way in which we can engage with those who are seeking Christ.
"Not everyone will be lucky enough to have a face-to-face encounter that brings them to Christ," he added. "So, we must use all the means available to reach out to them.
"It is not good enough to wait for our brothers and sisters to come to us. We must do all we can to go to them."
His comments come in a pastoral letter that will be shared with Catholics at Mass this Sunday. There will also be a special collection for communications and evangelisation.
He added: "I am going to ask for your financial support. And that support will help us as the Church in Scotland to use all the means of communication to help bring others to Christ.
I look forward to sharing with you the work of this Office which will develop over the coming months.
In the meantime, please continue to pray for the spread of the Gospel, and please do support this weekend’s collection."
