Engaging Families in the Middle of a Pandemic - January 28
This workshop, hosted by Christine Coyle, will provide real-life, practical tools to help parishes engage with families when our in-person gatherings are limited to maintain and nurture their relationship with the parish community.
Social Media is Relational Ministry- February 4
Senior communications specialist Matt Clarke will partner with our Family and Youth Ministry Specialist, Alex Fung, to discuss social media best practices and ways to stay connected with your parishioners through social media platforms.
Volunteers are Still Your Best Tool - February 11 & February 18
So many of our parishioners are sitting at home looking for something to do and we have the opportunity to form them into missionary disciples, and at the same time expand the ministry that we are able to do by engaging them in the mission. There are two parts to this workshop; the first (Feb 11) is with Jean Beneteau who will walk us through the tools we need to help discern the gifts of our people and the second is with Chris Laforet (Feb 18) who will discuss how we can engage volunteers in our current situation.
Your Parish Website is Your New Narthex - February 25
Matt Clarke will provide tips and tricks to make your parish webpage inviting, informative and relevant and help with parish fundraising.
