Angolans celebrate World Communications Day Mass


Angolans have celebrated World Communications Day by praying for deceased journalists. In a celebration of Mass last week, vice president of the episcopal conference, the Conferência Episcopal de Angola e São Tomé (CEAST),   Dom António Jaka who is the Bishop of Caxito Diocese,  stated that death is not only inevitable but is a mystery. However, he added that dying is not the end of hope for a Christian because Jesus has defeated death with his resurrection.

Addressing journalists at the Mass, Bishop Dom António Jaka mentioned that faith is not only expressed in words. Deeds and concrete ways are important aspects of the daily life of every Christian.

Speaking at the same gathering, journalist and members of National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA), parliamentary leader, Raul Danda said he considered the act of celebrating Mass for deceased journalists as a noble act of the Church. He said it was a sign of recognition of the prime role of journalists who fight for truth at all cost, even at the cost of their own lives.

Another journalist at the same event, Siona Casimiro appreciated the Mass and said it was a fitting tribute for fallen journalists.
