【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2025 年11月24日羅馬慈幼總部訊】 ─ 慈幼通訊社（ANS）宣布開通WhatsApp頻道，每日以各種語言將來自世界各地的慈幼會新聞直接推送至行動裝置。這項創新舉措標誌著ANS在分享全球慈幼會家庭的鼓舞人心的故事、活動和倡議方面邁出了重要一步，使其更加便捷、及時。
數十年來，ANS一直是記錄慈幼精神實踐的權威之聲——從改變偏遠鄉村青年生活的教育項目，到城市中心開創性的社會倡議；從艱苦地區的傳教事業，到遍布全球的青年牧靈創新。 ANS也始終忠實地報道總會長及其議會的動態、各部門的官方項目，以及慈幼會和更廣泛的慈幼家庭的各項活動。如今，在全球有超過20億WhatsApp用戶，ANS將慈幼會充滿希望、服務和福音宣揚的故事，每日直接傳遞到世界各地慈幼會會士、慈幼家庭成員、合作者、贊助者、青年以及鮑思高神父之友的掌中。
「這不僅是新聞發布，更是為了建立共融，加強我們全球慈幼家庭的聯繫，」總部社會傳播議員Fidel Orendain神父強調。 「在這個資訊傳播速度堪比光速的時代，我們希望與全球慈幼家庭的成員們保持聯繫。當剛果的慈幼會團體慶祝新祈禱室落成時，我們希望整個家庭——從澳大利亞到阿根廷——都能實時共同慶祝。當菲律賓的青年發起環保倡議時，我們希望他們的行動立即激勵歐洲或非洲的同齡人。當總會長發布牧民指引或分享願景時，我們希望每位成員都能立即收到，從而增強團結和共同使命感。即時溝通對於促進全球合作、深化共融以及跨洲分享最佳實踐至關重要。這個WhatsApp頻道讓我們能夠以數碼化的方式實踐家庭精神，確保無論我們身在何處，都能與修會的核心以及彼此保持緊密聯繫。
「WhatsApp 已成為全球數二十億人的主要通訊工具，」ANS 社長Harris Pakkam神父補充道，「我們推出六種語言的頻道——英語、西班牙語、意大利語、葡萄牙語、法語和波蘭語——確保無論您是亞馬遜地區的慈幼會傳教士、孟買的教師、內羅畢的青年工作者，還是紐約的校友，我們都能直接給您修會的心聲。
ANS WhatsApp 頻道提供多項顯著優勢：訂閱者可接收每日精選更新，無需忍受群聊的雜亂信息；內容可隨時隨地通過網絡閱讀；內容針對移動設備進行了優化，畫面引人入勝；多語言版本確保每個人都能輕鬆理解。最重要的是，頻道內容不佔用手機儲存空間——與佔用設備記憶體的群組訊息或媒體檔案不同，頻道內容直接傳輸到您的設備，無需消耗寶貴的儲存空間。與傳統的群組訊息不同，頻道在尊重用戶隱私的同時，及時提供與慈幼會使命、教育成就、青年計畫、人生感悟、總會長及其其議會的官方通告、區域倡議以及對慈幼神恩的反思等相關的實用資訊。

ANS launches WhatsApp Channel: Salesian News now at your fingertips
(ANS – Rome – RMG, 24 November 2025) – Agenzia Info Salesiana (ANS), the official communication organ of the Salesian Congregation, announces the launch of its WhatsApp Channel, bringing Salesian news from all over the world directly to mobile devices daily in all languages. This innovative step marks a significant milestone in ANS’s mission to share the inspiring stories, activities, and initiatives of the Salesian family across the globe with enhanced accessibility and immediacy.
For decades, ANS has been the trusted voice chronicling the Salesian charism in action—from educational programs transforming young lives in remote villages to groundbreaking social initiatives in urban centers, from missionary endeavors in challenging territories to youth ministry innovations worldwide. ANS has also been faithfully carrying news of the Rector Major and his Council, all official programs of the various Sectors, and activities of the Congregation and the broader Salesian Family. Now, with over two billion WhatsApp users globally, ANS brings this daily narrative of hope, service, and Gospel proclamation directly into the palms of Salesians, members of the Salesian Family, collaborators, benefactors, young people and friends of Don Bosco everywhere.
“This isn’t just about news distribution—it’s about building communion and strengthening the bonds of our global Salesian family,” emphasizes Fr Fidel Orendain, the General Councillor for Social Communication. “In an age where information travels at the speed of light, we wanted to meet our global family where they are. When a Salesian community in Congo celebrates a new oratory opening, we want the entire family—from Australia to Argentina—to rejoice together in real time. When youth in the Philippines launch an environmental initiative, we want their creativity to inspire peers in Europe or Africa immediately. When the Rector Major issues pastoral guidance or shares his vision, we want every member of our family to receive it instantly, fostering a sense of unity and shared mission. Real-time communication has become essential for fostering global collaboration, deepening communion, and sharing best practices across continents. This WhatsApp channel allows us to live our family spirit digitally, ensuring that no matter where we serve, we remain connected to the heart of our Congregation and to one another.”
“WhatsApp has become the primary communication tool for billions worldwide,” adds Fr Harris Pakkam, the director of ANS. “Launching our channel in six languages—English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, and Polish—ensures that whether you’re a Salesian missionary in the Amazon, a teacher in Mumbai, a youth worker in Nairobi, or a past pupil in New York, the heartbeat of our Congregation reaches you directly, instantly and easily.”
The ANS WhatsApp Channel offers several distinct advantages: subscribers receive curated daily updates without the clutter of group chats, content is available anytime and anywhere with internet access, stories are optimized for mobile viewing with compelling visuals, and the multilingual format ensures no one is left behind. Most importantly, the channel format does not occupy any storage space on your phone—unlike group messages or media files that fill up your device memory, channel content streams directly to you without consuming precious storage space. Unlike traditional group messaging, the channel format respects user privacy while delivering timely, relevant content about Salesian missions, educational achievements, youth programs, testimonies of transformation, official communications from the Rector Major and his Council, Sector initiatives, and reflections on the Salesian charism.
Joining the ANS Channel is simple and immediate. ANS has created dedicated channel links for each of the six languages, making subscription effortless with just one click. Choose your preferred language and begin receiving daily updates instantly:

The ANS WhatsApp Channel represents more than technological advancement; it embodies the Salesian spirit of adaptation and innovation that Don Bosco himself exemplified. Just as he embraced the printing press to spread good literature among youth in 19th-century Turin, today’s Salesians leverage digital platforms to proclaim the Gospel and share the joy of serving young people in the 21st century.
As the channel goes live, ANS invites the entire Salesian family—educators, missionaries, past pupils, cooperators, benefactors, and friends—to join this new chapter in Salesian communication, now shared instantly across borders, languages, and time zones, right in the palm of your hand.
