Top 12 Catholic Instagrammers

Instagram is famous for people posting tons of selfies and pet pictures. However, it can be used for good. I’ve found a few Catholics who really use it as a platform for their faith. It will never be a complete catechism but it can help you in your walk with the Lord. Instagram is all about being beautiful and beauty is an important way to see God today (as my Instagram bio reminds you).

These Instagrammers are good for every Catholic to follow; adult or teen, in ministry or barely hanging onto their faith. I chose these based on a few criteria; I list these criteria at the end for the curious.

1) VATICAN__ (Vatican.va – the Holy See’s official account)

This gives you news about the Pope and other happenings in the Church. I was going to put at least 1 news agency on the list but this is so good, I saw no need to.

2) FR. JASONSMITH (Fr Jason Smith, LC)

Fr Jason is a priest in the New York metro area who seems like he used to be a professional photographer. His posts generally have two parts: a photograph from his life that looks like it could be in a tabletop book, and a reflection to help you grow spiritually that he writes in the description.

3) CATHOLIC_TEEN_POSTS (Roman Catholic Teen)

I know I said I generally avoided those posting memes, quotes, etc. Well, I didn’t skip them completely. This teenager who remains anonymous posts the best done pictures, quotes and memes of any Catholic on Instagram.

A picture is worth 1,000 words, as they say.
