Introduction

World Communications Day

World Communications Day takes place this year on Sunday 12 May 2013 - the Feast of the Ascension of our Lord. This is the day when Catholics are asked to reflect on the necessity of fulfilling the command of Jesus to preach the Good News of the Gospel to the whole world. A key to communicating with “the whole world” is the world of the media and its demands for news relating to every aspect of the life of the Church and its people. Here you will find Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's message, resources and materials for parishes as well as information and features.
