Emailing & Newsletters
Email remains one of the strongest tools for regular connection, especially for older parishioners and those who may not use social media.
Why it matters:
- It helps your parish communicate weekly updates, prayer needs, events, and notices in one place.
- It supports discipleship and community between Sundays.
- It reaches those not active on social media but still engaged with parish life.
Keep it simple:
- Use a clean design with short sections.
- Keep to your brand colours and fonts so it matches your website and social media.
- Make the key info scannable: dates, times, next steps.
- Always include links to your website and social pages.
What works well:
- A weekly or monthly “what’s on” email or printed newsletter
- Prayer focus
- Upcoming events
- News from ministries
- A short pastoral note or reflection
