Sunday, 17 May 2026 is World Communications Day. The theme for this year, chosen by Pope Leo, is Preserving Human Voices and Faces. In his message, Pope Leo XIV highlights the importance of ensuring that technological innovation, particularly artificial intelligence, serves the human person rather than replacing or diminishing human dignity. Read his full message.

World Communications Day is an annual Catholic Church celebration held on the Sunday before Pentecost to reflect on the power of media and its influence on society. Established in 1967 by Pope Paul VI, it encourages responsible communication that promotes truth, human dignity, and Christian values.
