World Communications Day

  • Date: Seventh Sunday of Easter (movable; typically May or early June)
  • Type: Church-wide observance and national collection
  • Description: World Communications Day highlights the importance of sharing the Gospel through modern media and supports the Church’s evangelizing mission. The Catholic Communication Campaign funds Catholic media efforts across the United States and in developing countries, including television, radio, print, and digital outreach. Half of the funds collected remain in the local diocese to support communications initiatives. In the Diocese of Toledo, these funds help support projects such as Graceful Living magazine and other storytelling efforts across northwest Ohio.
