World Communications Day

The Sixth Sunday of Easter, which is this coming Sunday, May 6, marks the celebration of World Communications Day in Australia.

Pope Francis released his message for World Communications Day 2018. As is the custom, the message was released on January 24, the feast day of St Francis de Sales, the patron saint of journalists.

You can access the full message here via the Vatican News website.

Zenit has a story on the message here.

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
