Light of Truth

Basic Ecclesial Community (BEC) animators from eastern India are atte-nding a media training to strengthen their groups in parishes.
As many as 24 representatives from 13 eastern India dioceses are attending the January 27-31 program at Bandel Basilica Retreat Centre, about 40 km from north of Kolkata.
Media has central place in the lives of all Christians presently, said Sister Christin Joseph from Kolkata. So, we want to train our BEC anima-tors how best they can use the social media to proclaim the Gospel, added the Holy Cross nun who is involved in BEC promotion for the past three decades in eastern India.
Jesuit Father Sebastian Kanekattil, one of the facilitators and a media expert from Patna, said the training will enable the participants to under-stand the great influence of social media among youth.
Besides the training, the partici-pants will have a chance to make pilgrimage to the Bandel Basilica during this Jubilee year, said Father Sameer Kerketta from Hazaribag diocese in Jharkhand.
