The
Communication Apostolate helps also readers, and choirs to use the microphones
in an adequate way. They
prepare information sheets on topics of interest for the parishioners in English
and Swahili. Some of the issues dealt with are: "Safer neighborhoon, Christian
approach to insecurity and crime"; Lectio Divina, on the 7 steps of Lumko;
History of Our Lady of Guadalupe; Evangelisation week; etc. Together
with the team of catechists, they prepare the banners to decorate the Church and
to indicate the different Liturgical times or Church events. e.g. now there is
a banner on the "Year of Peace". |
