Media Workshop for Pastoral Fathers

Body: 

Media Workshop by Fr. Charles Vijay, C.Ss.R.

Centuries down the line people have always communicated with one another through different means. Today the world has changed rapidly and along with the world, the mode of communication has also changed drastically. Where once upon a time people used to send letters and handmade postcards, today with electronic communication and media the message is reached instantly with a click of a button. We can communicate with one another in seconds.

This is why it is very important and helpful to be up-to-date with the modern means of media and communication. We as newly ordained Redemptorists, to know our people and understand their way of life, it is important to understand the modern media. It is only when the Church understands the intricacies of the digital age, can it guide its flock. 

This is the reason Fr. Charles Vijay, C.Ss.R. conducted a five days workshop on media and online communication. I must admit it was really an interesting class to know how much influence can the media have on our lives today. The main aim of the workshop was not to learn everything in a short period, rather it was more of an exposure given to us about modern media. It was more to stimulate our minds to think and venture into the possibilities of modern media. We were introduced to a lot of new software and programs which can be of great help in our ministry and for our priestly life. In our sessions, we learned film making, video editing, production, podcast, how to use google drive and tools like google docs, sites and forms. We learned a bit of graphic designing through a website called Canva.com, and others. Along with this, we had sessions on social media etiquette and the importance of managing online privacy and security.

We as pastoral year fathers on behalf of Fr. Xavier Sanjeevi would like to thank Fr. Charles Vijay and his team for coordinating with us and giving us this informative and interesting workshop. My God bless all his endeavors.

Saints Enactment on Christ the King Feast in Chennai Parish

Body: 

Since the month of November is dedicated to all the Saints and Departed Souls. St. Anthony's Church, Chennai requested the Catechism children to enact the lives of Saints.

On 24th November 2019, Feast of Christ the King, we organised this program in Church. The children were dressed in different siants attire, including Redemptorist Saints and enacted the lives of those saints.

This is also to help the parents to bring up the children in Faith and in christian values with saintly characters.

Greetings and invitation to cooperation

Body: 

Dear Confreres and Friends,

Let me first introduce myself to you. My name is Fr. Grzegorz Ruszaj. I am Redemptorist, from the Province of Warsaw. I studied media education at the Faculty of Theology of the John Paul II Catholic University in Lublin, Poland. In recent years I have worked as secretary of the Province in Warsaw. This September I have started my new ministry in Rome as the new director of the Office of Communications of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer.

Together with my coworkers, Fr. Sanjay Tirkey C.Ss.R. and Mr. Carlos Espinoza, we will continue the ministry of communication to facilitate the sharing of the information among the General Government and the Units with their communities in the whole Redemptorist Congregation. By an active presence in the “digital continent,” we will also continue to promote our Redemptorist charism and missionary work in the Church and the world.

Knowing how communication is vital in the contemporary world, I want to invite you to cooperate with us in this ministry. We will be very grateful for any sharing, with our team, of the news about important events regarding your life and ministry in your Unit and its communities. We truly appreciate every communication from you.

As I start my new ministry in Rome, I would like also to say a sincere word of appreciation to Fr. Biju Madathikunnel C.Ss.R. who was doing a great job as the director of the Office of Communication in the last years.

Hoping for good cooperation with you, I send you a brotherly greeting and kindest regards

In Christ the Redeemer

 

Fr. Grzegorz Ruszaj C.Ss.R.

Director of the Office of Communications
