Special Announcement: Saint Joseph's has been selected to conduct the first-ever "pilot test" of the Living Bulletin® Program.
The Living Bulletin® is being developed by members of our local church in an effort to better use our talents to serve God and each other.
Our goal is to help all of us get better connected with the love, power and fellowship our church offers by fanning into the flame the gift of God withn us.
You are Invited to check out, use and provide feedback about our new, electronic and interactive "Living" bulletin.

Pope Francis encourages our church to "use fresh energy and imagination" to address "the revolution taking place in
communications media." The Living Bulletin is our church's effort to do just that.
The Living Bulletin® streamlines work-flow and reduces printing costs, while increasing ways to serve, connect and
communicate with parishioners.

We will gain real-world experience, develop a better understanding of church needs, fine-tune the software and measure the value of the program in quantifiable ways.
We will monitor and understand the true cost of implementing the program, like customer service needs, programming, graphics, integration, marketing, printing, data management and speaking, etc.
We will determine where to direct future development efforts.... finding out what works and what needs to be better.
We hope to validate our belief that technology greatly reduces the cost of operating the program.

Setting Expectations
Will everything be perfect right out of the box? No. However, we plan to develop "user-requested" features and debug quickly where needs arise. Our mobile website will be completed and operational.
We are committed to working hard to make sure our church has a great experience.
At the end of the pilot, we will pull together usage reports and collect testimonials.
God willing, usage reports, cost analysis and testimonials will be very positive, which will then be used to justify further investment in and development of the program.
A successful pilot results in making the software better and more people using it. Should we manage our ministry well, we'll be honored when our church recommends the program to other churches.
