Baby, baby bounce it off your satellite
Last night I met with Eloisa, a young woman from church to discuss the parish website and communication in general.
One of the things I’d like to propose is that we create a director of communication for the parish.
Working under the direction of the Pastor, duties would include:
- Facilitate communication between staff members and volunteers; with registered parishioners, and with those who attend Mass regularly.
- Develop and use technology and social media as appropriate.
- Facilitate communication between Parish ministries and organizations.
- Facilitate communication between the school and the parish community-at-large.
- Create and / or proofread and approve written communications from the church or about the church, in print or electronic form.
- Create a weekly church bulletin that sparks interest and anticipation among the parishioners.
- Publish a bi-monthly parish newsletter.
- Create brochures, mass mailings, etc.
- Supervise content of the church, school, and other parish based websites.
- Develop strategies to maintain and improve the parish database(s).
- Develop surveys and other tools to aid in planning and evaluating.
I totally borrowed the above list from a parish in Texas.
Anyway, we could really use a person like this. I’m just not sure that TPTB at the parish would see things the same way. Wish me luck!
