I was asked to present a position paper at your meeting. A position paper is not something to be written ad hoc. So this is not a position paper. This is just to share a few thoughts with you.

First of all, I want to welcome you to the Dominican Institute, soon to become by the grace of God the Dominican University. On behalf of the Chancellor, the Board of Governors, the staff and students, I wish to express the joy of having you in our midst. I want to acknowledge with thanks the work you are doing for the Church as Directors of Communication in your various dioceses. I extend a special welcome to Fr. Ralph Madu, Director of Communications at the Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria in Abuja.
