Mission
The role of the Communications and Public Relations Department is to assist the Archbishop and serve as a focal point for communicating the mission of the Church to its internal and external audiences.
Our goal is to communicate the mission and activities of all departments, agencies, and parishes of the Archdiocese by offering a full portrait of the Church to the media.
Working with us:
We are constantly looking for information and stories to share about your parish, school, major events, etc., and are willing to assist you in communications needs (contacting local press, alerting the local media, etc.).
We ask that you please notify us of events and activities you as far in advance as possible to allow for the best possible outcome of publicizing your events and activities.
If you have questions or comments, please call, e-mail or fax us, using the department listings below for reference. We are here to help!
