World Communications Day
Media Manual
The Father John A. Hardon, S.J. Media Apostolate has
prepared a World Communications Day Media Manual as a guide that may be used
by parishes and organizations to help them plan, organize and implement
their own World Communications Day Media Information Fair.
It is our sincere hope that
this manual will serve the needs of those people who have accepted the
Churchs call to catechize and evangelize mankind through the use of the
modern means of social communications. World Communications Day, as outlined in the document (Inter Mirifica, 1963) is the only yearly worldwide celebration
called for by the Second Vatican Council.
Each year the current Pope chooses a World
Communications Day theme he wants the Church to use for that year on
September 29th the Feast of the Holy Archangels Michael, Raphael
and Gabriel, who have been designated as the patrons of those who work in
radio. The Holy Fathers Message for World Communications Day is
traditionally published in conjunction with the Memorial of St. Francis de
Sales, patron of writers (January 24), to allow bishops conferences and
diocesan offices sufficient time to prepare audio, visual and printed
material for national and local celebrations. And lastly, World
Communications Day is celebrated in most countries, on the recommendation of
the bishops of the world, on the Sunday before Pentecost in May.
The
World Communications Day Media Manual is now available online free for your
personal use in Adobe Acrobat PDF format! You will need the Acrobat
Reader to view and print it. For your convenience, the manual is
provided
- as individual
files, which allows you to quickly and easily view the
details in each section,
- as one comprehensive
PDF file, which enables you to download the entire manual all
at once.
The purpose of the media is to "contribute to
mens entertainment and instruction as well as to the spread and support
of the Kingdom of God." Church teachings and regulations in
regard to the media "serve to promote not only the eternal welfare of
Christians, but also the progress of all mankind."
