CWN Editor's Note: The prefect of the Dicastery for Communication encouraged the World Catholic Association for Communication (SIGNIS) to be a network rather than a bureaucracy.
“SIGNIS should not be an ecclesiastic bureaucracy, but a network of people, a network of professionals sharing the same faith,” Paolo Ruffini said in a video message to participants in SIGNIS World Congress 2026, which is taking place in Kigali, Rwanda. “This should be a place where relationships of trust are established, true information is shared, and good projects are designed.”
Ruffini’s successor, Maria Montserrat (Montse) Alvarado, will assume office on November 1.
