History of Website • Originally developed by year 12 student from Lavalla college as part of his project. Did a fantastic job at the time – a lot is involved in getting a site up.
New Website • In August 2016, it was identified that that the site needed to be updated as the code used was quite basic and needed to be changed • On September 1 2016, the new website was launched. Website is using wordpress and is easy to update and navigate. 3 of our parishoners kindly agreed to finance the development of this new website • 37,000 unique visits have been made to the site in 2 years. • Among the things updated on the site include, Notices and rosters, Bulletins, Events, Sacramental information, Ministry updates e.g. Youth Ministry, Micks Kitchen, Touring statue of Mary and many more
Communicating The Message • Currently celebrating year of the youth and our recent art completion in the primary schools. • Website is updated on Volunteering basis. We only use professional services if we require to change anything in the functionality. • Any suggestions to help improve the website and make it an effective communications tool in the parish is most welcome. This includes web development experience.

Reaching out
We have the wind of the Spirit at our
backs… God has always been
roaming the earth seeking whom he
may revive… the kingdom is not
contingent upon us but upon Him..
We are not responsible for success but
faithfulness.What Has Happened! Ecumenical Ventures • 2017 World Day of Prayer • 2017 Commemoration of 500 Years since the Reformation • Ongoing… Ladies Worship in Song • Taize Lenten Prayer… Lutheran & Lavalla Choir Varied Prayer & Liturgical Opportunities • Advent & Lenten Evening Prayer • Special Occasions eg St Michael; Mary McKillop • Scriptural & Seasonal Discussion Groups Plenary Council 2020 * Formation of large parish Plenary Committee
What’s Going Well! Partnership & Cooperation • Catholic/Lutheran/Baptist ties strengthening • Shared vision within the Catholic community • St Michael’s parish and Lavalla liturgical choir Spiritual Literacy • Gathering vibrancy & desire for expression Parish Vitality • Where there is not vision the people perish… where there is no hope the people die. Not our reality
Even Better With… More than support of parish ventures More than having your say More than collaboration with Fr Francis and the parish council Stepping forward… exercising the dignity of our shared baptism… being co responsible in the great mission to make Jesus known and loved
The love of Christ urges us on 2 Corinthians 5: 14
