THE USE OF MASS MEDIA FOR PREACHING
The General Promoter of the Order of Preachers visited our Priory on January 6, 2013. He was accompanied by Fr. Provincial Javier from Hong Kong. His stop in Hong Kong-Macau is part of his journey through the Region.
Fr. Eric Salobir, OP, stayed with us up to January 8 and conversed with the Dominican priests and the student brothers on issues related to the apostolate of the Order through Mass Media, particularly by the use of internet and online new stages of evangelization and preaching. He gave a talk to our students and invited them to write for the Priory’s web www.dominicansmacau.org As General Promoter, Fr. Eric is in charge of the web page of the Order www.op.org and of the monthly online publication IDI. He had some time to visit St. Paul’s School and the emblematic places and monuments of Macau.
Fr. Eric hails from Toulouse, France, and was ordained in 2006. He is a member of the Dominican Province of France. His next stop, after Hong Kong, will be Vietnam and the next, the Philippines. Â We wish him well. Have a safe and fruitful journey!
