What We Do

The Church can and must use these media; print, radio, television, as well as new media and new technologies, i.e. Internet to promote community and parish life, spiritual growth, the proclamation of the Gospel and church participation in the life of our nation. In this light, the directorate participates in the Church’s mission of evangelization by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ through various conduits of communication.
The directorate of Communications of the Diocese of Buea oversees diocesan communication and serves as the hub of information for the diocese.

The directorate is focused on providing communications support to the Bishop, coordinating external relations with Diocesan Organizations and stakeholders as well as the local media. As the communication hub for the diocese, the directorate provides information on all the different arms of the diocese, connecting its stakeholders with respective diocesan institutions. The directorate builds and maintains relationships with local, national and international media, both secular and Catholic. It develops content for the Diocesan website, and social media platforms, reaching a secular and non-secular audience on Instalgram, Whatsapp, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. It also provides each diocesan service with a web presence and the ability to easily update their information. The directorate provides advice and counsel to parishes, schools and other services on news-related issues that may pertain to them.
