Communication

We continue to work to concretize the objectives of our communications apostolate. Ongoing collaboration with the other apostolates and with other institutions is proving helpful. Our goals are:
• To promote media education in a media-shaped and media-conscious society.
• To develop and build-up a library of print and audio-visual materials in support of the different apostolates in the province.
• To disseminate relevant and timely Church news and information for Filipinos living here and abroad.
• To collaborate and to coordinate with the other two SVD Filipino provinces and with other agencies, institutions and apostolates in Northern Luzon regarding communications media.
