According to Pope Benedict XVI, Catholics should embrace the new media and help evangelize the digital continent. Both for you and your parishioners, here’s why we think your church should have a website.
The days of the yellow pages are gone! When people are searching for a church they take to the search engines, as nothing we do nowadays can escape the clutches of the internet. Your parish website can increase the chance that those searching online will find your parish – take advantage of good SEO and the local Search Engine Results Page to boost your online evangelization.
Creating a website can also be used as a tool to tighten a community. Your church website can allow your parishioners to interact with each other, get to know the pastor, priest and staff. There’s no need for churchgoers to stop being a community outside of the church, and having a website at their disposal will definitely help.
A site can be used to organize church events so that people are well informed, ahead of time. Using a website, you can also let your parishioners know where you stand on issues important to the Catholic community and help promote Catholic values.
A church website is an opportunity to teach and learn. You can use your website to start an online ministry for Catholic apologetics, deeper bible learning, online video presentations and even audio recordings.
Donations can be streamlined. The majority of young adults are extremely invested in the digital world, so giving them an option to donate online can increase your churches revenues. Also, a donation page can be set up 24/7, and transactions can be made extremely safe via PayPal or other payment processors.
Keep better parishioner information. Move your database to the internet! It’s time the Catholic Church joins the digital continent and enter the 21st century!
