Social Communication Formation starts in
the Novitiate
Tigaraksa: 24th January 2005 --- After
the usual conferences and morning sessions, the 10 Novices, with
their Novice Master (Fr. Andre Delimarta SDB) and their Brother assistant
went off to spend several hours in a commercial printing press. The
objective was to familiarize themselves with the processes involved in
print media.
While ITM is not yet into a full-time
printing/publishing apostolate, there are many opportunities in Jakarta and
even in Dili to have contact with printers and groups that evangelise through
the printed media. Having a short course on the processes involved
in colour printing and other kinds of printing works, contributes
to their formation in the area of social communication.
Choosing the feastday of St. Francis of
Sales for this formative event, makes it more significant. Moreover, they took
the opportunity to also visit a company that produces audio cassettes,
which, by chance, was preparing cassettes for Valentines Day. Hopefully the
novices took the love theme as part of the loving-kindness exemplified in St.
Francis de Sales.
