The high point of World Communications Day 2014 for the Paulines of Italy was the Communications Festival held in the diocese of Lodi from 22 May–1 June.
The event, which centered on the theme, Communication at the Service of an Authentic Culture of Encounter, included conferences, exhibits, various forms of entertainment, and times of prayer and meditation enriched by special guests, transforming the small diocese on the outskirts of Milan into the vibrant of heart communications for ten days.
The Festival’s program aimed at calling everyone’s attention to a wide variety of communication contexts: with the poor and with strangers in our own neighborhoods; the communication of knowledge so as to tear down social and cultural barriers; communication through the social media; the effort to reintroduce ethics and social responsibility into one’s activities, etc.
