Dear Catholic Men for Christ Visitor,
 Welcome to our website. I thought I would share a little more about Connecting Members and how I initially got involved with the Catholic Men for Christ Conference.
Connecting Members is a locally owned firm that is one of the nation’s largest technology providers to Catholic Parishes. Our specific focus is serving Catholic Parishes, Schools and faith-based organizations throughout the country. It just so happens that we are located in St. Louis..
The original contact between Connecting Members and the Catholic Men for Christ apostolate was made during a Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) weekend at All Saints Catholic Parish (St. Peters) back in 2007. A full year before the first conference, God’s plan brought one of the CMFC Planning Team members and I to the same retreat.
After a few nice hello's and a warm cup of coffee, I realized that I had just joined the planning team for the Catholic Men for Christ as the "technology guru".
Our mission was to plan the first of it's kind Catholic men's conference in St. Louis. From a technology standpoint, the 2008 Conference was a "rough draft" that laid the ground work for a better 2009. This 2009 website is integrated with a new and improved registration process that also ties directly into a contact database so that we can stay in touch with the attendees more effectively throughout the year.
I thank you for the opportunity to serve you and Christ and hope that the conference brings you exactly what you are hoping for.
Sincerely,
Dave Gambino

A few of our customers that we serve:

Each of the teachers has their own secure area of the website to communicate with parents. Every parent has a login to the website to view the member only content.
|

Ste. Genevieve Du Bois - Electronic Offertory Giving Solution |
Ste. Genevieve Du Bois wanted to implement an automated giving program but did not have a parish website. Connecting Members provided a simple web page to list the collections and implemented the Electronic Offertory service.

St. Alban Roe - Catholic Parish and School Website |
St. Alban Roe had an existing parish website and school website but found it difficult form one person to manage. Now the web volunteer can give permission to other members in the parish to help keep the website up to date.
|
| |
St. Bernard Catholic Parish - Catholic Parish Website |
St. Bernard found us all the way from Connecticut and need to completely overhaul their old parish website that was completely out of date.
|
| |
Immaculate Heart of Mary - Catholic Parish Website and Electronic Offertory |
Immacualte Heart of Mary was one of our earliest customers who has seen us grow and continue to improve our service with feature upgrades and new web based tools. |
Our goal is to help the Catholic Community leverage technology the same way that business and industry does every day.
If you can't communicate with your parish online the same way that you use the Internet every day, then you are settling.
There is a better way and we can help.
