Multimedia International

MMI is a volunteer organization of religious congregations and similar groups in Rome. We emphasize co-operation and sharing skills among members. MMI members have the opportunity to work together to use the media more effectively in the mission of evangelization. Founded by Fr. Stephan Bamberger SJ on October 7, 1970, MMI has grown with the media changes brought about by modern technology. Now, MMI strives to increase among members the awareness of the importance of media, especially in the promotion of Christian values, explore how modern communication technologies can assist the work of mission, develop technical skills in the presentation of news and the handling of equipment, and make available selected equipment for use by the membership. The MMI emphasis on co-operation between religious congregations is a positive response to the call of Vatican II. This aspect of MMI's life is beginning to attract attention from religious in other parts of the world, who can see the value of sharing expensive equipment and technical skill in furthering the mission. MultiMedia International is not a funding organization. Its operating budget is for the benefit of its members.
