Central Communications Board Chairman, the Rt Revd Trevor Williams, Bishop of Limerick, said:  “We are a community with a message. Communication is central to our life as a Church. Good communication not only provides information, but builds a sense of belonging and encourages involvement. 

“We have a message to share with others and the quality of our communication will affect the clarity of that message. Communication is also a skill, and we can all improve. So, join in this competition. It’s a chance to learn from others and commend those who are doing a good job.”
