The parish website is an irreplaceable tool for evangelization. Many parishes in our diocese have recently created new sites or upgraded to responsive templates - a necessity  if folks want to view your site on their phones or tablets.  A recent article in the fall  fall edition of Abundant Times fleshed out some of the important aspects of website development for congregations (see pages 16-17). The advent of simple drag-and-drop platforms like Weebly, SquareSpace and WIX allow complete creative control and access for less that $100 per year!  A simple, welcoming, beautiful website can help people find their way to your community. It's never been so important or easier to do.

Here's some really good news: THERE'S MONEY!  

Steve Abdow, Canon for Mission Resources, has allocated funds in the 2016 Diocesan budget for parish website development.  We will match you dollar for dollar up to $500 dollars, and this effort is retroactive.  If you've redesigned or created a parish website in 2016, you can send copies of your receipts to Diocesan House and we will cover ½ of the expense you incurred, up to $500.
