Social Communications remains at the service of the Church and her institutions in fulfilling communication needs. At 50 years ZCBC celebrates its ability to communicate effectively and the impact created through communication structures in all dioceses. The Church in Zimbabwe rejoices over the guidance of divine providence which enabled her to reach out, and connect people through the good news. Social Communications is renowned for its publications such as the Catholic Church News and other documents, audio-visual productions and coverage of Church events. The spectrum for SOCCOM has also been widened by the advent of social media. The presence of the Church is highly felt on social and interactive media platforms. Platforms such as facebook, whatsapp, twitter and internet have widened communication channels for SOCCOM. More efforts are being done to amplify the voice of the church in Zimbabwe. SOCCOM is working to establish Radio Maria Zimbabwe so as to create a bigger platform for information sharing, education and evangelization. AETATIS NOVAE stresses that the means of Social Communication have become as important as to be for many the chief means of information and education, of guidance and inspiration in their behaviour as individuals, families and within society at large. Thus Social Communications stands to inspire the way people think and behave not only in the Church but in society at large. 35
