World Communications Day (May 12) was celebrated this Thursday as Bishop Mulvey hosted a reception for media professionals. The event, filled with food, drinks, live music, and fellowship, highlighted the importance of effective communication in our modern world.
Around 70 participants gathered in the garden of the bishop’s residence, enjoyed each other’s company and mingled with the communications team of the diocese and chancery staff representatives. The topic of this year’s message of Pope Francis for the 58th World Communications Day is “Artificial Intelligence and the Wisdom of the Heart: Towards a Fully Human Communication.”
Bishop Mulvey invited the journalists, editors and managers to cover the diocese's upcoming events: the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage next week, the graduation ceremonies of the two Catholic high schools, and the ordination of three young men to the transitional diaconate.
Everyone was invited to close with a prayer proposed by Pope Francis to build community through communications.
Pope Paul VI established World Communications Day in 1967 as an annual celebration to reflect on the opportunities and challenges that the modern means of social communication afford the Church in communicating the gospel message.
