Dear Church, Pastor or Parishioner,

Connecting Members has helped make a difference for Immaculate Heart of Mary. I don't know where to start. I think the greatest thing about the website is that all of the parish information is now accessible to a great number of parishioners any time they want to go online. Adding and changing the information on the site is easy to access and when we do have questions the technical support has been amazing.

Our Youth Ministry and PSR Teachers are utilizing the website for posting weekly information for their members, students, and families. I am excited about using the member directory for mass emails for contacting parishioners, and I am hoping to utilize the scheduling calendar for tracking reservations of the Parish Hall and other events taking place in the parish. Making the parishioner directory optional and only accessible through the member's login, provides an awesome tool but still offers protection from those not registered with the church.

Our parishioners are using the website weekly for checking the news around the parish, reading the bulletin, making their contributions online, listening to the daily readings, purchasing Scrip and using the links available for their own spiritual growth. The possibilities are endless now that we have a platform that is easy enough for all of us to use.

On behalf of Father Stoltz and Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church in New Melle, Missouri, I would like to encourage you to experience Connecting Members and thank them for their continued support in helping us make a difference to our Parish community.

Sincerely,

Laura Orf
