Pope announces theme for World Communications Day 2010
(Sept.29,2009): The theme chosen by Pope Benedict XVI for the 44th World Communications Day next year is “The priest and pastoral ministry in the digital world – New Media in the service of the word.” The theme was released Tuesday on the Feast of Archangel Gabriel - the Patron of Telecommunications. The message for World Communication Day 2010, invites especially priests, in this Year dedicated to priests to consider the new media as a powerful resource for their ministry.
Addressing the challenges arising from the new digital culture, the Pope’s message says if the new media are well understood and valued properly, they can offer all priests and pastoral workers, a wealth of data and content that were previously difficult to access and facilitate forms of collaboration and growth that were unthinkable in the past. If used well, with the help of experts in technology and culture, new media may well become for priests and all pastoral workers a valid and effective tool of evangelisation, said the Pope’s message for the 44th World Communications Day.
