Carmelites Gather to Discuss the Status of Communications Programs in the Order

The directors of the Order’s communication offices around the world gathered on Monday, January 27, in person as well as via zoom to participate in a discussion of the status of the various communications programs in the Order and the provinces. Each participant was asked to share three things they felt everyone should know about their ministry of communications.

They were also asked to complete a one-page survey which will be summarized to give a more complete picture of the state of our communications. There was quite a bit of enthusiasm generated during this meeting and future gatherings are being planned.

The Director of Communications for the Order, William J. Harry, spoke on the challenges and the opportunities we have to evangelize in today’s world with our new technologies.  pdf That talk is available here in the three languages. (243 KB)
