Vatican Radio launches English Facebook Page

(Vatican Radio) Vatican Radio’s English Section on Friday launched its new Facebook Page. The Page (www.facebook.com/VaticanRadioEnglish) was launched to coincide with the Synod of Bishops meeting on the theme: "The New Evangelisation for the Transmission of the Christian Faith". The Synod opens on Sunday, and Vatican Radio’s personnel will have special access to the Synod Hall. Those who “like” the Vatican Radio English Section Facebook Page will receive updates of Vatican events, important interviews, and other Church-related news. The launch of the Facebook Page came a day after Facebook Inc announced they had passed the 1 billion user mark in only 8 years. Facebook Pages already exist for the French, Arabic, and Brazilian sections at Vatican Radio.
