Archdiocese to celebrate 44th World Communications Day


By Mary Anne Padilla, FSP

The Archdiocese will celebrate the 44th World Communications Day on July 13, 2010 with Archbishop Antonio J. Ledesma, SJ,  the main presider of the concelebrated Mass at St. Augustine Cathedral. The event will be  participated by Catholic Communicators, media practitioners, Mass Communication students, seminarians, and religious men and women.

Each year, the Holy Father sends out a message to all the faithful for this special day. On this occasion, he has focused on the importance of digital communications, in which priests can discover new possibilities for carrying out their ministry to and for the Word of God.

The Pope sees  the necessity to link together technology and sound theological insights. Priests who are working  in the digital communication should be known more of their priestly heart and closeness to God than their knowledge of information technology.

The Social Communications Apostolate (SCA) of the Archdiocese will soon come out with  plan of activities  for priests and seminarians that will enhance their computer literacy: blogging, Microsoft Office and photoshop programs.
