CELEBRATION OF WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY 2014

ATTN: ALL ARCHBISHOPS, BISHOPS, DIOCESAN ADMINISTRATORS, DIOCESAN MINISTERS OF SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS

Your Eminences / Excellencies / Reverend Administrators / Monsignors / Reverend Fathers / Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Greetings in the Risen Lord!

Each year, the Catholic Church celebrates the World Communications Day on Ascension Sunday.  This day, now on its 48th anniversary, falls on June 1, 2014, with the theme “Communications at the Service of an Authentic Culture of Encounter”.

I am sending the WCD message of the Holy Father, Pope Francis and a summary of the document as well as a 5 minute video which you can reproduce for your parishes to be delivered during homilies.
Second, in line with this celebration, there will be a Second Collection in all masses.  20 percent of the proceeds will be used for the pastoral projects of the Episcopal Commission on Social Communications while the rest will be used for your Diocesan Ministry of Social Communications.  Please remit your contributions to the “CBCP Episcopal Commission on Social Communications and Mass Media” or simply “CBCP-ECSC”.  You may also deposit directly to BPI account no. 4951-0078-17 as soon as possible.  Please inform us of this deposit through email or telephone.

I thank you wholeheartedly for your support and assistance to a worthy cause that always seeks to update the faithful on the language of mass media as a potent tool for the new evangelization.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

(sgd.) +MYLO HUBERT C. VERGARA, D.D.

Commission Head
