Communication
Overview
The Communications office promotes evangelization by ensuring the voice of the shepherd of the Diocese is heard throughout the Diocese by broadcasting/ passing his messages and other programs and projects of the Diocese within and outside the Diocese. It also facilitates information sharing between parishes, religious groups’ activities, and other relevant activities that support the church mission of evangelization and promotion of integral human development. This we do through broadcast, print, and social media including the diocese owned Mitume radio, diocesan publications and social media platforms.
The communications office also coordinates a network of parish communication agents who help in sharing information on what is happening across the parishes. The essence of this is to ensure all Christians are updated on what is happening in other parishes hence contribute to ensuring a diocese that is ‘journeying together’. Through this sharing of information, different religious groups or parishes are also able to learn (from one another) some of the best practices that promote growth of faith.
