MyChurchandTown.com Services for Parishes
|
MyChurchandTown.com provides many services to the parishes of Long Island. There is no charge to the
parish for any of our services and no commitment or contract.
Our Mission
MyChurchandTown.com's mission is to enhance the Catholic Church's position in the communities of
Long Island by promoting the events and services offered by the Parishes. We provide a tool for the
Parishes to reach out to their communities and promote their services, programs and fundraising. We are
a resource for parishioners to locate events and services available in their Parish as well as in neighboring
parishes. We also promote community events, which make non-parishioners aware of the services provided by
the Parish to their community. MyChurchandTown.com posts only those events consistent with the values of the Church.
Promote Your Parish's Programs and Events
It's easy to add your parish's events to our website. Just send us your weekly bulletin, the same way you send
it to your bulletin printing company. The events announced in your bulletin will be posted on a webpage devoted
to your parish, where they are seen by your parishioners and those of neighboring parishes. We ask that you
include a notice in your weekly bulletin, telling your parishioners they can see Parish information and events
at MyChurchandTown.com. For some examples of bulletin announcements, click here.
Your Parish page can be your own Parish website... at no cost to your parish
You can include:
- Parish Information - Parish name and address, welcome statement, photograph, clergy staff,
support staff, office phone numbers, office hours, regular Mass schedule, Holy Week schedules, etc.

Matrimony and Anointing of the Sick. Procedures and contact persons can also be included.

About your parish information...
Parish information is compiled from several sources including the parish bulletin. We encourage parish staff
to review their parish's information and advise us of any changes or corrections. This form can be used by
clergy, parish staff and parishioners and all changes will be confirmed before posting. There is no charge
for updating parish information.
Click here to upload your bulletin now. If you wish, you can fax us the
information page from your parish bulletin and we will make any needed corrections. Our fax no. is 631-588-2238.
If your Parish already has a website...
Posting your parish events with MyChurchandTown.com can complement your Parish's website. Maintaining current
events and posting the current bulletin on a weekly basis often exceeds the resources of a parish. Parish websites
quickly become 'stale' with out-of-date information. MyChurchandTown.com can provide time-sensitive event
information while your Parish maintains the spiritual content of your website. You can include parish events
and your weekly bulletin on your website simply by linking to our webpages. Your website will always be up-to-date.
We also include a link to your parish website so our viewers can view your site directly. If you would like a more
detailed explanation please contact us.
