The Diocese of Phoenix Office of Communications hosted its first-ever Communications Summit at the Diocesan Pastoral Center in downtown Phoenix on Friday (Oct 9). The historic event brought together nearly 100 people, representing 48 parishes from across the diocese.
Designed specifically for pastors, parish personnel and communications staff, the summit offered training for those who manage weekly bulletins, oversee parish social media and websites and utilize communication tools like Flocknote. Attendees walked away with practical assets and a roadmap for building an integrated pipeline to reach their communities effectively. Guest speakers included Bishop John Dolan, Joyce Coronel (Evangelization & Sacramental Life Manager for the diocese), Brett Meister (Director of Communications for the diocese) and Christel Mosby (chief marketing officer for Grand Canyon Education). The day began with Mass celebrated by Fr. Dan McBride and Fr. Don Kline in the Virgina G. Piper Chapel and wrapped with a tour of the new digital studio.
