The long awaited Social Communications Week 2023 activities kicked off on 11th October 2023 early morning with the official launch of the Schools’ Debate Activity in Kagadi Vicariate.
We acknowledge with great love the generosity and personal involvement of Msgr. Peter Kaberenge Akiiki, Parish Priest and Episcopal Vicar Kagadi who hosted, and was supreme presiding officer of this event.
Hoima Catholic Diocese Social Communications Department in collaboration with stakeholders organised the Schools’ Debate activity on the theme: “Charity begins at home” as a way of involving the children in the Holy father’s 57th Communications Day Celebrations’ theme and message: “Speaking with the Heart; the truth in love” (Eph. 4, 15).
In this activity aimed at bringing out this aspect: Early childhood education has roots in the family and later has a bearing on the child’s heart to heart communication with fellows. Communication is from the Latin Communicare, “to share. You can’t give what you don’t have!
