Communication Policy
With the vast array of activity and ministry at St. Anne’s parish we may utilize multiple communication instruments such as photocopying, videotaping, motion picture, audio recording, web posting and still photography which may be used for educational or exhibition purposes by the parish. The volunteer may also utilize these instruments working in conjunction with the pastoral staff member.
The sources utilized for distribution of this material may be the parish bulletin, parish newsletter, parish web site and external news media.
In the spirit of being good stewards of our time, talent and treasure we have entrusted the parish staff to collect and assemble all communication to ensure consistency between publications and that all communication is complimentary to other parish initiatives. Therefore, all requested communication requests for distribution as noted above, should be submitted directly to the pastoral staff member. The pastoral staff member will ensure timely publication.
