Collect the Required Initial Information

Below is a list of the initial information required to populate your website. We suggest you collect them as soon as you can. Keep in mind however, that this list of information doesn't have to be completed and on-hand before work can begin on your site. Email them to us at cservice@parishworld.net as soon as you have all or some of them so we may commence our work.

Please prepare the following and email to us as soon as possible:

- Name, email addresses, phone numbers, photos (landscape format) of all priests, deacons, pastoral staff, parish staff, ministry leaders, everyone involved in parish work; sent to us by email.
- All email addresses you have on file for all parish members; send to us by email.
- Your weekly bulletin. This has to be emailed to us weekly, beginning the week you sign your contract with ParishWorld.
- A list of each member of your pastoral and office staff: name, title, email, phone, plus photo.
- A list of your parish people who will be working on the website. Please designate one as your Website Admin. We will need their names, emails, phone numbers and preferred passwords.
- Your parish mission statement, sent to us as a Word file or by email.
- A short article or description of your parish patron saint, sent to us as a Word file or by email.
- A short history of your parish, sent to us as a Word file or by email.
- A writeup about the parish patron saint, sent to us as a Word file or by email.
- A written description of your RCIA program, sent to us as a Word file or by email.
- A PDF copy of your parish registration form, emailed to us.

Here's a list of additional information you will need this as part of your training program.

- An electronic file, preferably Microsoft Word or email, containing a list of all your parish Ministries: name of the ministry, a one paragraph description for each, contact person, email and phone for each.
- A description of the services you provide for each Sacrament administered in your parish.
- A PDF copy of all the forms required for the Sacraments.
- For Religious Education and Youth Ministry, a write of the registration requirements. Also, please prepare a good description of each one of the parish Rel. Ed. programs. The more detailed and descriptive it is, the better. The goal is not just to inform. "Invite" parish members and encourage them to see their need in each of the different programs so they may come forward and participate. Tell them the "why" not just the "what."
- At least 3 brief write-ups describing existing volunteer needs at the parish, contact person, and his/her phone and email.

Please email any or all of the above information as soon as you collect them. We suggest you send them in batches by email as soon as you have any of the above available. Send them by email to cservice@parishworld.net
