The Basilica Press Centre of the Romanian Patriarchate celebrated its patronal feast and its 10th<\/sup> anniversary on the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, 5 June 2017. On this occasion, His Grace Bishop Varlaam of Ploiesti celebrated the Divine Liturgy and offered prayers of thanksgiving at the Patriarchal Cathedral.<\/p>\n

After the divine services, His Beatitude Daniel, Patriarch of Romania, welcomed the employees of the Press Centre at the Europa Christiana <\/em>Hall of the Palace of the Patriarchate.<\/p>\n

His Beatitude gave a speech entitled Basilica Press Centre \u2013 ten years of media ministry<\/em><\/a>, in which he referred to the activities of the Centre that reflect the Church\u2019s mission to be a messenger in the world of good deeds.<\/p>\n

By means of radio, audio-visual, printed and on-line communication, as a priority the Church points out the light of people, by presenting icons of merciful love and co-responsibility, through whom she invites indirectly her members and the people from outside to become in their turn icons of light and merciful love, that is, deeply human persons<\/em>, he said.<\/p>\n

After the speech, His Beatitude visited the photo exhibition dedicated to Patriarch Justinian Marina, given the fact that the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church declared 2017 a Commemorative Year of Patriarch Justinian and of the defenders of Orthodoxy during communism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the members of the five departments of the Basilica Press Centre received the patriarchal blessing from His Beatitude Daniel and took photos of the groups.<\/p>\n
