What we do

Every tool a parish needs to be heard.

We specialize in website design, communication strategies in print and online, and social media, all tailored specifically to the life of a Catholic parish.

Website design

A clear, welcoming parish website where people can find Mass times, sacraments, ministries and news without hunting for them.

  • Mass, Confession and Adoration times
  • Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation and Marriage preparation
  • OCIA for those becoming Catholic
  • Bulletin archive and online giving

Print & electronic communication

Bulletins, flyers, newsletters and email that carry one consistent message from the pulpit to the pew to the inbox.

  • The weekly bulletin
  • Advent, Lent and Holy Week schedules
  • Parish newsletters and email
  • Flyers for missions, retreats and parish feasts

Social media strategy

A steady, faithful presence online that invites parishioners to engage and helps newcomers find their way to you.

  • Sunday reflections and feast days
  • Parish life, sacraments and celebrations
  • Livestreamed Masses and events
  • A welcome for newcomers and those returning

Through the liturgical year

A parish lives by the rhythm of the Church’s year. We plan your communication around it, so the schedules and invitations for each season are in people’s hands before it arrives.

How we work

A simple, steady process.

Assessment, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Each step builds on the one before it, and you are part of every one.

  1. Assessment

    Strategy development

    We assess your parish’s communication needs and the wider landscape, then build a strategy tailored to your community.

    “Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost…?”Luke 14:28
  2. Implementation

    Execution & integration

    We put that strategy into action with the right tools to strengthen outreach and engagement across the parish.

    “Be doers of the word and not hearers only…”James 1:22
  3. Monitoring

    Performance tracking

    We keep watch on how each channel is performing and adjust as we go, so good ideas get better.

    “Take good care of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds…”Proverbs 27:23
  4. Evaluation

    Results assessment

    After each phase we review the results with you and recommend what to carry forward.

    “Test everything; retain what is good.”1 Thessalonians 5:21
