Celebrating 50 Years!

World Communication's Day is of utmost importance. Vatican Council II's Inter Mirifica, (Decree on Social Communication) was the first document released; recommending a yearly, global celebrations of Communication's Day on Ascension Sunday.

World Communication's Day 2016 theme:

"Communication and Mercy: A Fruitful Encounter"

Together with Bible Sunday, the Daughters of St. Paul, in its Constitutions are obliged to work with the local Church to celebrate this day each year.  With this in my mind and heart, I tried to do something within 'my' classroom in Dar-Ul-Naim (House of Blessings), a formation house of Franciscans pre-novices.

 A surprise invitation was given to the priests residing in Dar-Ul-Naim, the first year students of the Order of Friars Minor and of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, Mr. Kamran Chaudhry, a journalist of AsiaNews.it was also invited to grace the occasion and to challenge the students to use media in a professional way.  Communication and Mercy are twin words which the various religious orders witness, moreso of the Franciscan and the Sisters of Charity.

In the above photo are the Sisters of Charity of St. Jeanne Antide whose charity is directly communicated through their care of Dar-Ul-Khrisma (House of Destitute) and in running a school for the poor. For the Daughters of St. Paul, it is "Charity of the Truth".
