The development of digital culture has transformed the communication patterns and spiritual lives of young Catholics. On the one hand, digital media provides easier access to and opportunities for sharing the Holy Scriptures. On the other hand, the culture of rapid information consumption, superficial understanding of biblical texts, and the widespread circulation of unverified religious information present challenges to the implementation of the Apostolate of Sacred Scripture. This study aims to analyze the challenges and opportunities of the Apostolate of Sacred Scripture among young Catholics in digital culture and to formulate contextual and relevant approaches to evangelization. This study employs a qualitative approach using the literature review method. Data were collected through relevant academic literature and Church documents, then analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the main challenges include information fragmentation, superficial understanding of Scripture, instant communication culture, and difficulties in distinguishing credible sources of evangelization. Meanwhile, digital culture offers opportunities through broader access to Scripture, spaces for encounters in faith, creativity in evangelization, and more interactive and participatory communication. This study concludes that the Apostolate of Sacred Scripture needs to be developed through contextual, dialogical, and participatory approaches while maintaining a deep understanding of faith. Consequently, the Church and pastoral companions need to strengthen biblical literacy and actively involve young people in digital evangelization rooted in faith and ecclesial communion.
