I assemble, draft, and edit our office newsletter, COMPASS

We try as best as we can to get it out twice a week. It’s one of those things that I’ve fallen into in terms of job description, but I do like doing it. 

Especially with this most recent edition, the newsletters allow our constituencies to see the breadth and width of youth and young adult ministry in our region/diocese.

If I was in a parish and not a diocese, I would still be doing this sort of thing, probably with three different formats
> one for my core adult volunteers and catechists;
> one for parents (and include the parish staff and the various board and committee memberships); and
> one, of course, for the kids.

Anyway, to read our latest edition of Compass, click onto here.   Update: The news editor of our diocesan Catholic news weekly offered this unsolicited feedback on COMPASS: “It really is a great newsletter … one that illustrates the diversity in programs and activities offered … as well as the volume of programs offered … and all the advance planning necessary to carry everything out!”
