The challenges of World Communication Day May 14

The theme of this year’s World Communications Day – The Priest and Pastoral Ministry in a Digital World: New Media at the Service of the Word – is meant to coincide with the Church’s celebration of the Year for Priests….The world of digital communication, with its almost limitless expressive capacity, makes us appreciate all the more Saint Paul’s exclamation: “Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel” (1 Cor 9:16) Words we all should heed.

Here’s an excellent video reflection on the theme from one of North America’s foremost priest-communicators, Basilian Father Thomas Thomas Rosica, the CEO of Salt + Light Television, Canada’s national Catholic network.
