Ten Catholic Media Centers and Publishers in Taiwan are joining the 18th Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) on January 27 to February 1, 2010. TIBE follows the tradition of presenting the latest trends, seminars and forums. It has a well-known reputation of having multiple functions that enable the public, writers and professionals to meet and explore new areas of knowledge. Indeed, around 400,000 people from 40 countries had participated in 2009.

　　The ten Catholic Media Centers and Publishers will present and introduce their latest books and publications. Through texts and media, the Church hopes to reach out to a wider sphere of readers and viewers. The exhibition includes books on Sacraments, Liturgy, Sacred Music, Holy See Documents, Spirituality and others. All books will have 20% discount, plus special offers, so don’t miss it!

　　CRBC is appealing to the parishes for strong support and encouraging the priests to bring their parishioners to go and visit the Catholic Church Joint Book Fair 2010: “Catholic Spiritual Service Station” (please see poster and CRBC website). On one hand, this is an opportunity for the parishioners to have an interactive experience outside the parish; on the other hand, it makes the faithful become aware of the importance and urgency of “using texts and media for the work of evangelization” in the Church.

　　CRBC especially designed an “Image Area” for this occasion, which allows visitors and priests on-the-spot opportunities to talk about and understand the topic “Economics and Life”. This is in response to the encyclical of the Pope Benedict XVI Charity In Truth. You are most welcome and do invite non-Christians to come and visit.
