Welcome to our new look Website (I am repeating myself deliberately because we have spent most of today and yesterday re-populating the new website with information we previously already had on the old Website). So why do we need a new website? Because people had commented that they found it difficult to find some items on the website. One of the deficiencies we had identified was the speed of document and media upload. The new site has been rebuilt from the ground up with improved access to picture galleries and allows greater community contributions to the site.
So we know that you will find this one will be easier to use and find information. But in order to access some really interesting components of the parish site you need to register and become a member of the Parish. So although we have been asking people for ages to register to the previous site, and although we have had an average of over 4,000 visits a month, few people have registered. By NOT registering you are missing out on some of the really interesting items that are here. Some are private things that relate only to our parish but others are educational. We have a section which will allow you to take an online course on the Catholic religion with questions and answers. The private area is also the place where engaged couples can take a pre-marriage course and read some interesting articles (including a compatibility survey!)
So, a great big thank you to Phil Walsh and Matthew Topp who have given so much of their school holiday time in preparing and organising this new Padre Pio Parish Website for your spiritual enlightenment and enjoyment!
