When I arrived in the parish, one of the first
things we did was establish a parish website.
After a couple of years it is time to update
our website. We have cleaned it up a lot, and
it is much easier to find things with pull down
menus. The website includes all the normal
things such as Mass times, addresses, staff,
and basic information. It also includes the
weekly bulletins, my homily series on the liturgy, and news about faith formation, youth
ministry and the school. Scrolling down the
center of the site is the news and events section. The top section has news from the diocese and national news. On the bottom section is news from our parish, and a list of
events that are happening. As a parishioner,
you are able to post news or events to the
website. The website also has forms for
Scrip, Faith Formation, KCSS, and even our
Cross Currents Newsletter.

I am participating in the Scenic Shore 150 Mile Bike

please pray that a cure is found!
Thanks,
