“Incline your ear and hear my words, and apply your mind to my teaching; for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.”Proverbs 22: 17-18
Communications in our diocese fosters information-sharing with our parishes, faithful, and visitors.

Our Communications Officer is available for:

“Communication is truly effective only when it becomes witness, that is, a participation in life which is given to us by the Spirit and that leads us to discover that we are in communion one of another, members one of another.”
