Abstract
This article presents an analysis of the website of St. Philip and Jacob parish in Vukovar and the nodes that are identified as: the vicar, parish community and different spiritual, pastoral and cultural groups and their interactivity. The research was conducted for the period from 1 December 2014 to 1 December 2015, which corresponds to a liturgical year in which all the spiritual, pastoral, social and cultural activities of the parish are visible so we could observe the relationships between the identified nodes of the website of St. Philip and Jacob parish using social network analysis and graph theory. The first part of the article introduces the theoretical framework of social networks analysis with special reference to graph theory. The second part describes, analyses and interprets the results from graph theory. Finally, some important indicators of the emergence of a new communication-pastoral orientation, a horizon, or some elements of the appropriate communication-pastoral model, are developed, based on the interactivity between the identified nodes of the existing social network in the Vukovar parish.
