GOALS:

The weekly eNewsletter, The Net, plays a crucial role in the organization’s overall communication plan by serving multiple key objectives. Its primary function is to deliver current news and information covering all diocesan ministries, initiatives, work, and messages from the bishop. This ensures that members of the organization stay informed about ongoing activities, fostering a sense of community and connection. Additionally, it aims to showcase parishes and members, provide engaging reports of diocesan activities and events, share timely announcements, connect readers with our community through links to church announcements and job postings on the diocesan website, and offer engaging and enjoyable content. The newsletter is designed to be visually appealing, ensuring ease of reading for a more enjoyable reader experience.

A specific goal for 2023 was to enhance the reading experience and broaden access to church announcements. This was achieved by relocating all church announcements and job postings to the diocesan website instead of within the newsletter itself. Links to these announcements are now included in the newsletter, allowing any visitor to the website access to the information, not just subscribers to the newsletter. Additionally, a new header was introduced in 2023 to provide a fresh and sleeker design.
