Catholic journalists in the country have been called upon to take an active role in the preparation of the coming event of 150 years of Evangelization in the Mainland by publicizing the event so that people may have clear information about it.

Raymond Saba said, “It is the duty of our Catholic Church media to ensure that all the faithful are fully informed to make them participate in the preparation and conduct of the actual event which is to be held in October this year.
Fr. Saba asked the participants attending the meeting to develop strategies in order to publicize the event and inform the faithful and other people of good will on various activities according to the program for the celebration.
“We celebrate the great work done by Missionaries who came to Tanzania Mainland through Bagamoyo in 1868,” he said adding that it is your duty to tell success stories and how they managed to evangelize the country especially in those days when communication network and infrastructures were not fully developed.
In the same event, the AMECEA Coordinator for Social Communication Rev Fr. Chrisantus Ndaga, requested all the beneficiaries of Signis Application to be accountable while taking it as an opportunity to improve the communication Apostolate at conference and regional level. “With little resource we have or we get through Signis, let us utilize it well so that our mission of evangelization through media is achieved,” he said.
