Speaking during the official opening ceremony at Paulines Publication centre in Nairobi on December 9, Bishop Joseph Obanyi, Chairman of Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops, Commission for Social Communications said that the move will help disseminate information to all faithful in real time.

This will help create new ways of responding to the needs of Catholics,” said Bishop Joseph Obanyi. He urged the faithful to appreciate the Holy Father’s recent visit by offering information adequately to strengthen other people’s faith.
