WelCom May 2020:
54th World Communications Day
The Vatican and many dioceses mark World Communication Day on the Sunday before Pentecost, this year being 24 May. For his 2020 message, Pope Francis has chosen the theme, ‘So that you can tell your children and grandchildren. Life creates history.’ The passage, based on the Book of Exodus (10:2), highlights the importance of sharing meaningful memories, stories and experiences, so they may live on and transform the present.
