A new Catholic website was launched this month, providing diocesan, parish and lay organization leaders with an innovative way to share information with their groups.
On Flocknote.com, Catholic leaders can create “feeds” for every group that they lead. Group members are then invited to subscribe to feeds of interest and choose to receive notes by email, text message, Facebook – or on the website itself.
Up until now, many Catholic groups have used email mailing lists and church bulletins to communicate with interested members.
“The power of this site is that it aligns perfectly with the structure of The Church,” says Matt Warner, Flocknote creator, “Never before has it been easier for bishops to communicate with their entire diocese, pastors to share info with their entire parish – and parishioners to plug into their parish community.”
Flocknote is attracting more than Church leaders. Catholic musicians, bloggers, speakers and other laymen have also found the site to be instrumental in sharing their ministry.
Not to be confused as just another social networking site, Flocknote had created a unique niche, serving as both a high-tech mailing list – and a supplement to popular sites like Facebook.
“At the end of the day,” Warner continued, “people truly want to be plugged in to their Catholic community – we just don’t always have the time to do it. Flocknote changes that. Now everyone can get the information they need in the most convenient way possible.”
