Parish Website Information Form

Thank you for your interest in the Diocesan Parish Website Initiative.

Our hope is to help make it easier for your parish to connect with parishioners and visitors through a welcoming, accessible, and easy-to-manage website. While maintaining flexibility for each parish’s unique needs, this initiative aims to provide a more standardized website structure that simplifies future updates and ongoing maintenance.

To get a sense of the layout, style, and functionality of these websites, you can explore one of our pilot parish websites: St. Margaret Mary Parish, Hamilton. We look forward to working with you!
