Get Connected to the Parish Journey

About this journey

How many new faces come into the parish that we don't have the chance to connect with? How many regular faces show up in the pews that we know exactly what they are looking for? The goal of this journey is to make sure fewer people get lost in the crowd by creating more opportunities that help people connect to the parish, without relying on meeting every person who walks through the door.

This journey includes a parish pew card and a landing page template.

Welcome to the Get Connected Journey

Below is the recommended rollout plan and also a list of all the deliverables available to you. This isn’t the only way to do it! But we think it might be really effective.

When should I roll this out?

This journey can be rolled out whenever and run throughout the year. You can edit the journey based on the liturgical calendar too. For example, printing Advent versions that help people understand the season, or find Christmas mass times.

Part 2 - Offer pew cards for people to connect

Provide a welcome card in the pews that help people quickly get to a landing page with options for them to connect. Each option we've chosen tries to offer different avenues for different needs and people. The card can be edited so your parish can add or edit the options that make more sense for your community.

Editing the QR code on the card is simple and we recommend using qrcode-monkey.com. Simply add the url of your landing page once it's live and then download the QR code to add to your pew card.

Part 3: Promote connection opportunities

As an additional step, you can also promote on social media to remind those outside of Mass that there are opportunities for them to connect. This could help prep people for finding the pew card or be a reminder after Mass if they didn't see the pew card.
