Need for Communication Studies in Pastoral Context
NISCORT offers various Pastoral Communication courses. NISCORT also continues to
research into the scope of social communication in the pastoral context.
What is Pastoral Communication?
By pastoral communication, we envisage all those knowledge and skills that can be applied to
our Catholic pastoral contexts. This is in view of forming pastors and religious leaders to
proclaim the good news effectively and celebrate the Sacred Mysteries meaningfully. The
objective of pastoral communication courses is to improve their communication skills.
However, there can be different approaches to pastoral communication. One such approach is to
study the reception side of the media through the lens of Catholic doctrinal perspectives on
social communication.
