Parish Communication Resources

Parishes have a big job in communicating with their communities, especially in these challenging times. The goal of this page is to make that work a little easier.

The diocese’s Communication Office, in collaboration with other pastoral offices, developed the content of this page to help your parish.

We continue to offer resources for parishes to help them to promote our synod and the Annual Catholic Appeal.

This page will be updated regularly.

We welcome your questions, comments and suggestions.
