The Challenge
The communications team at the Archdiocese of New Orleans noticed that over time, its parish websites had been left behind. Technology had changed dramatically over the past 5-10 years, but many parishes didn’t have the staff or expertise to keep up. Many churches had websites that were embarrassingly out-of-date, or they offered no digital presence at all to the Catholic community in the archdiocese.
As a result, individual parishes (and the archdiocese as a whole) were missing valuable communication and evangelization opportunities. The team knew it was time (in fact, well overdue) to get intentional about digital communication. And its parishes needed a nudge in the right direction.
The Solution
The Archdiocese of New Orleans subsidized and launched an eCatholic website initiative.
Parishes thought it was too good to be true.
The eCatholic team set up,
migrated content, and launched new sites at no cost to individual parishes & schools.
Parishes could use eCatholic Payments to create online donations and easy payment forms with no monthly fee.
All entities in the Archdiocese
enjoy one-to-one outreach and technical assistance with their questions.
eCatholic is built by Catholics, for Catholic organizations. The eCatholic team anticipated the unique needs of each parish.
The archdiocese can instantly share news, pastoral letters, and other important resources to all websites in its eCatholic-powered website network. We call it Diocesan Sharing™.

How it Works
The Result
Within months the project was successful and popular. The initial goal of 85 parish sites was quickly exceeded. As a result, the archdiocese expanded its funding to allow more entities to take advantage of the opportunity. Mission accomplished.
Partnering with eCatholic makes it possible to have beautiful, easy-to-use websites so we can move towards
being welcoming communities and achieving our synod vision: Encountering Jesus Witnessing with Joy!
