Indian Salesian Father Ernest Rosario, South Asia Delegate for Social Communication is appointed Coordinator for the newly established Salesian International Commission for Social Communication, as of 26 August 2020. At an online meet organized by the General Councilor for Social Communications, Father Gildasio dos Santos Mendes, attended by the Coordinators of the Delegates for Social Communication of the various Regions - Zaida Elisa Navarrete (America), Father Pierluigi Lanotte (Mediterranean Europe), Fatherr James Gardner (Central-Northern Europe), Father Ernest Rosario (South Asia), Father Lijo Vadakkan (Africa-Madagascar) and Father Peter P Chinh (East Asia-Oceania) - Father Rosario was requested to head the newly established international committee.
The new commission will be coordinated, in subsequent meetings, by Father Rosario and will meet approximately once a year in Rome. In these subsequent meetings, the commission will have the opportunity to meet in person, to discuss and deepen various topics, and also meet with the Rector Major, Father �ngel Fern�ndez Artime.
Father dos Santos Mendes says, ``I would like to call this group `International Salesian Communication Committee`, and it will be important to hold these meetings annually, because it is essential to discuss, review and be clear what our common ideas are.``
He further requested the regional coordinators to encourage the province delegates to work in what will eventually be the instrumentum laboris of social communication. He remarks, ``The thing we want is involvement, [...for it] would be sad to write a document by oneself; we must work together. This is truly fundamental.``
The commission is to take into account the Rector Major`s 06-year programme, clarify the guidelines and suggestions provided by the Rector Major, and include them in next year`s communication plan. ``I`ll give you an example,`` continues the Councilor for Social Communications, ``the Rector Major has included the theme of ecology among the priorities in the programme and it will be a theme that we too must keep in mind.``
The role of the Salesian International Commission for Social Communication is to animate and give continuity to the guidelines of the Social Communication Department in each Region.
