Salesian elected President of SIGNIS Pacific Region
CHIANG MAI, October 23, 2009 –The Signis World Congress held
its Assembly of Delegates meeting on 22nd and 23rd, October,
2009. Fr. Ambrose Pereira sdb has been elected President of
SIGNIS Pacific.
Fr. Ambrose arrived in the Solomon Islands in 1999,
as Director of Catholic Communications Solomons. He has been
involved in the production of programmes for SIBC, the National network
and articles for the Solomon Star. He is responsible for raising the
standard of Voice Katolika, the quarterly newspaper for the Catholic
Church of Solomon Islands.
Over the years he has organized and conducted
several Media Education programmes in different dioceses in the Solomon
Islands and Papa New Guinea. He believes that “these courses have given
students and people the ability to become critical viewers and
consumers of the media. It has also encouraged them to network in
media for a value-based society.”
The members of Signis Pacific are scattered in 20
countries, some of them being, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Guam,
etc. The distances separating these islands make communication a
challenge. SIGNIS Pacific strives to network to bring the culturally
diverse populations together through the use of media.
