Everywhere: The MSC Communication Network Meeting

The 2nd Provincial Meeting of MSC Communicators took place in São Paulo from 24 to 26 April, with the theme: “Communicating from the Heart: A Communication Policy in the Service of the MSC Mission”. The meeting was attended by representatives from PASCOM (Pastoral Communication) from MSC schools and parishes in São Paulo (both the capital and the interior, including Itapetininga, Campinas, Bauru and Pirassununga), Minas Gerais, Ceará and Maranhão, as well as from the MSC Province of Curitiba.

The aim of the meeting was to provide clarification on the MSC Communication Policy, a document that will guide how PASCOM representatives involved with the MSC should proceed so that activities in the field of communication are aligned with the Congregation’s identity and values.

During the training session, Professor Ricardo Alvarenga, who holds a PhD in Social Communication, presented a detailed overview of the entire Communications Policy, which was developed in collaboration with the network of communicators over recent years and approved by the Assembly of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart of the Province of São Paulo; he also proposed practical activities for the participants.

The event concluded on the 26th at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Vila Formosa, with Holy Mass presided over by Father Lucemir Alves Ribeiro, MSC, who was also present at the event.
