• MQHR web committee meeting 11-09-2014

  Members present: John Mitchell, Jim Fritz, Tony Kernan, Edward Shuman, and Joseph Groves

  John started the meeting out leading the group in prayer.

  Edward updated the group on updating Google maps on the church's location. Edward has submitted our location to be reviewed. He is also going to look and see if there is any other way to update our church's location on Google maps.

  The school has decided to have its own website instead of having their website hosted on the diocese's website.

  John handed out his research he has done and read on "Transforming Parish Communications" by Scot Landry. After going through the questions and rating our website, our website was rated as a website with the basic framework for working but has room to grow and improve.

  John has suggested for Fr. Dan and certain members of the parish to form a committee and approve the suggestions the book is making. John also has suggested all the members in communications to read the book "Transforming Parish Communications".

  John handed out two of the books he has read to help guide our group where to go next with our website. John is right now wanting to get suggestions from others, after everyone has read the book "Transforming Parish Communications" and the handouts he has.

  Group discussed examples they have seen at other churches where they felt communications was successful.

  Group had a discussion on our site needing a place for comments, and trying to generate communication from others at the parish and outside the parish.

  Until the next meeting, committee members are going to look into the materials John has given us to make proposals on how we can make our website better.

  John will take over the prayer for the day while Tony is out of town.

  Next meeting time agreed on: January, 11th 2015.

  John closed the meeting with prayer.
