60th World Day of Social Communications & Teachers Day | 17 May 2026
The Church celebrated the 60th World Day of Social Communications under the theme, “Preserving Human Voices and Faces.”
In his message for this year’s observance, Pope Leo XIV reflected on the responsibility of ensuring that technological developments, especially artificial intelligence, always uphold the dignity of the human person and strengthen authentic human relationships.
The Holy Father emphasized the importance of human communication rooted in truth, compassion, and genuine encounter, reminding the faithful that technology should serve humanity and not replace it.
During the weekend Masses at the Church of Our Lady of Fatima, a special blessing was offered for those serving in Mass Media Ministry, journalism, and communications-related fields.
The parish also took the opportunity to remember and appreciate teachers in conjunction with Teachers Day celebrated in Malaysia on 16 May. Gratitude was expressed to all educators for their dedication, sacrifices, and commitment in shaping lives and nurturing future generations.
May God continue to bless and guide all who serve through communication, education, and the sharing of truth and knowledge.
