In September 2021, the Promotion/Marketing Department of our PMPT Province launched an initiative entitled BOOKingan Saturdays: Books and Conversations with Pauline Authors–a weekly program that gives Pauline book lovers the chance to interact with the authors, readers, and reviewers of the featured books via livestreaming on the PMPT’s Facebook, Publishing House and Radio pages. The pilot program was also live streamed in three parishes.
The title of the program is a Filipino colloquial term that means “to find out/discover.” Hence, the initiative is a venue to discover treasures in the contents of the books featured and apply them to current life situations. Even more important, it is a means for viewers to share their faith experiences and the impact of the books’ content on their lives in the hope of forming a virtual community of readers inspired by Pauline publications who can offer their families and communities the witness of their strong faith and relationship with God.
In this time of ongoing pandemic concerns, BOOKingan Saturdays aims to enhance awareness of God’s presence in all the circumstances and challenges of life, communicate love, hope, joy and compassion, and encourage people to trust and turn to God in times of crisis.
