The communications team at the Archdiocese of New Orleans recognized a growing disconnect between their mission and their tools. While digital ministry was valued, the reality was that most parishes faced heavy workloads and lacked the specific expertise to maintain a modern, welcoming presence.
This wasn't a lack of intent; it was a lack of capacity. Without a centralized strategy, the archdiocese and its parishes were missing vital opportunities to encounter and evangelize their community. They needed a way to provide clarity and consistency without adding to already full plates.
The Archdiocese of New Orleans closed the gap by subsidizing a strategic eCatholic website initiative. By removing the primary barriers of cost and technical complexity, they turned a daunting project into a seamless transition.
To eliminate the heavy lift, the eCatholic team handled the setup and content migration, launching new websites at no cost to individual parishes and schools.
Parishes gained access to eCatholic Online Giving & Pay to facilitate secure, recurring donations. This provides a better experience for families looking to automate their tithe while providing the parish office with clear, integrated reporting.
Every entity in the Archdiocese gained direct access to eCatholic support, providing the one-to-one assistance and technical confidence they need to succeed.

eCatholic provides an integrated tech stack built specifically for the Church. We understand the unique constraints of ministry because we share the same mission.

Within months, the project transformed the diocesan digital landscape. By focusing on stewardship and providing better tools, the initial goal of 85 sites was quickly shattered. The Archdiocese expanded its initiative to ensure every entity could bridge the gap.
Mission accomplished.

to have beautiful, easy-to-use websites so we can move towards being welcoming communities and achieving our synod vision: Encountering Jesus Witnessing with Joy!
