The Internet is the latest and in many respects most powerful in a line of media.  It has a number of striking features.  It is instantaneous, immediate, worldwide, decentralized, interactive, endlessly expandable in contents and outreach, flexible and
adaptable to a remarkable degree.  It is egalitarian, in the sense that anyone with the necessary equipment and modest technical skill can be an active presence in cyberspace, declare his or her message to the world, and demand a hearing.  It allows
individuals to indulge in anonymity, role-playing, and fantasizing and also to enter into community with others and engage in sharing.  According to users tastes, it lends itself
equally well to active participation and to passive absorption.  It can be used to break down the isolation of individuals  and groups or to deepen it (Ethics in Internet, Vatican
Document from Pontifical Council for Social Communications).

     Own Web site is yet another landmark in the history of Mother of Victory Shrine, Tikujiniwadi.  It is an occasion of joy for me to know that Mother of Victory Shrine,
Tikujiniwadi, is launching a Web Site.  It is a Diocesan Pilgrim Centre which is a shrine specially dedicated to Bl.Virgin Mary.  We all know that lot of people go there seeking
Her intercession. It has been accepted that through Her intercession many get relief from their sickness and all kinds of bondages.  To those who have no peace, joy and
happiness, Mother of Victory comes with consolation.

     I wish and pray that all who are searching through this web site be blessed abundantly by the intercession of Mother of Victory.  I wish you every success and May God
bless you.
