World communication day

In his message for World Communication Day 2018, Pope Francis speaks of journalists as “the protectors of news”. Their task is “not just a job; it is a mission”. He reminds us that persons are the heart of information; that informing others means forming others; “that is why ensuring the accuracy of sources and protecting communication are real means of promoting goodness, generating trust, and opening the way to communion and peace”. On this World Communication Day, we pray for those who work in the media, acknowledging the work carried out by the Communications Office of the Bishops’ Conference. We will support their work by the 2nd collection next weekend. Please find prayer cards at the back of the churches.
