Do you have something new, creative, or simply logical that's working well for your parish?
If it's working for you, it will probably work for others in the Diocese, too!
This page is our "idea toolbox" and we want to fill it with great ways to do God's work in the world. Whether you have an idea to share or are looking for an idea to use, this toolbox is for you.
If you have an idea you'd like to share, please send a note to our diocesan communications director and she'll get back with you to get the details.
