"The protection measures that have been established led to the cancellation of Holy week celebrations and so since our activities were discontinued, we have asked ourselves how we can accompany the people of our community", Fr. Zef Bisha SJ from Tirana explains.  

“We realized very clearly what people were requesting, especially their need for some type of presence. So, we decided to activate a YouTube channel to transmit the Holy Week liturgies and make them user-friendly at home, at work or in the hospitals. Once the video was uploaded it continued to remain available. In our parish, some people who had filming and editing expertise offered to help us to produce a good quality presentation. It was a decidedly new, strenuous, and interesting experience. " The image has its language - consisting of shots and skilful use of light, composition and editing: "We have received a lot of support during the process of improving the content. We are currently working on short 4-5-minute videos with short messages centred on the Word to share with the faithful and thus supporting them.

"The feedback is positive" Fr. Zef stresses. “People are grateful for this form of proximity and they also follow us through facebook. Through this channel a large number of people can be reached, and its contents can be reviewed at different times and under different circumstances. On the other hand, a lot of time and professional work is required to set up such channels.".

We shall continue to keep up this commitment for the next few days: "We are also thinking of preparing short contents for the boys of the Ate Pjeter Meshkalla College. We have committed ourselves to reflect upon this method of communication at present and even on the possibility of carrying it on beyond this time of emergency."
