Secretariat for Communications
Staff provide assistance and support to the 76 Parishes, Diocesan Secretariat and other Church organizations in spreading the message of our Lord Jesus and His Church through a wide range of communications tools and through the mass media.
We are also aware of our inactive or alienated sisters and brothers, as well as those of other faiths. Our efforts to comfort, teach and lead are not limited to Catholics alone. The Diocesan newsletter "The Way" and Upendo FM (the Diocesan Radio) are among the media together with publications and information services which are used to reach out to everyone.
The Secretariat for Communication serves the Bishop, individual Parishes, Diocesan Departments and the Community at large.
When requested and scheduling permits, Communication staff are always ready to grace events in the life of Parishes and provide livestreaming, videographic, photographic and editorial services.
