G.E.M.A. Mass and Fellowship 2026
Media and communications practitioners from across the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur gathered at the Church of St. Anthony, Kuala Lumpur, for the inaugural G.E.M.A. Mass and Fellowship, held in conjunction with the 60th World Day of Social Communications.
The gathering brought together more than 80 participants involved in parish social communications ministries, media, public relations, journalism, digital communications, and content creation. It provided a valuable opportunity for fellowship, networking, and the strengthening of relationships among those engaged in the Church’s mission of communication.
The event commenced with Holy Mass celebrated by His Grace Archbishop Julian Leow. In his reflections, the Archbishop highlighted the importance of truth, integrity, and authentic human communication in an increasingly digital world. He encouraged Catholic communicators to remain faithful witnesses to the Gospel and to use modern communication tools responsibly, particularly in an age where artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent.
Participants also received a video message from Fr. Dr. Clarence Devadass, Ecclesiastical Assistant to the Archdiocesan Social Communications Ministry, who welcomed those present and reflected on the significance of this year’s World Day of Social Communications.
Following the Mass, participants gathered for fellowship and networking, fostering greater collaboration among media and communications practitioners serving throughout the Archdiocese.
As communicators entrusted with sharing the Good News, may we continue to use our gifts and talents to build communion, promote truth, and bring the message of Christ to the wider community.
