“That you may tell your children and grandchildren” (Ex 10:2)
Life becomes history”
The 54th World Day of Social Communications will be celebrated tomorrow Sunday 24 May – the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. Pope Francis has chosen to reflect on the theme of storytelling in his message this year.
On Sunday morning and throughout the day, resources and video clips from around the diocese will be published on the Diocese website and its social media channels on this storytelling theme.

The Holy Father says, “I would like to devote this year’s Message to the theme of storytelling, because I believe that, so as not to lose our bearings, we need to make our own the truth contained in good stories. Stories that build up, not tear down; stories that help us rediscover our roots and the strength needed to move forward together. Amid the cacophony of voices and messages that surround us, we need a human story that can speak of ourselves and of the beauty all around us. A narrative that can regard our world and its happenings with a tender gaze. A narrative that can tell us that we are part of a living and interconnected tapestry. A narrative that can reveal the interweaving of the threads which connect us to one another.”
