After eight years in its previous form, it was time for a complete redesign of our Archdiocean website. We’ve collected your suggestions over the past 18 months, taken note of best practices implemented by other Dioceses and Archdioceses, and incorporated what we believed necessary to best meet the needs of our Archdiocese. From a functionality standpoint, we hope that you find the website useful and share your experience with others; whether you are looking for a parish, a Catholic school for your children, or simply checking the calendar for major events in the Archdiocese. But, the website does far more than this, and listed below are just a few examples of the new technologies that we’ve incorporated to make your experience more pleasant and productive. As this site is meant to be an ever-changing site, we ask for your feedback by clicking on the link to the right. Your comments will be posted when appropriate.
