"Don't Inform → INSPIRE!"

A Parish-Wide Communications Summit

Saturday, June 10: 8:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.

Grand Pavilion · Lunch Provided · RSVP Requested

Effective communications are essential to every aspect of parish life: ministry, advocacy, or an event or fundraiser. The stories we share help build relationships, strengthen our community, and provide a platform for consistent messaging across all channels. But it’s difficult to know how to break through the noise and capture the attention of key audiences. How can each of us be empowered to craft a message that resonates with an ever-changing landscape of digital and traditional media?

This MarCom (Marketing Communications) Summit will introduce us to the current communications landscape, provide tools for effective storytelling, and launch resources for parish ministries to plan, execute, and deploy messaging that connects to others and makes a lasting impression.
