We’re very excited to announce that as of March 2021, St. Catherine’s has joined Flocknote, a powerful Catholic email and texting tool used by thousands of churches. Flocknote makes communication simpler and more convenient, and it doesn’t require you to use a special app (though a Flocknote app is available for Apple or Android devices) or download any software. You simply sign up via email or text.
Join now and stay connected to the parish. We have several groups with independent Flocknote groups, or our Front Office will occasionally send out information on parish programs, events, and other information to help you grow in your faith! Thank you for joining our flock!
What are the benefits?
While Flocknote enables the clergy, staff, and ministry leaders of the parish to communicate more effectively with you. It will also enable you to control whether and how you receive communication from our parish ministries (by email, text, or not at all). You will only get notes from ministries you join as well as parish-wide announcements and getting off an individual list is as easy as clicking "unsubscribe." Best of all, you don’t even need to create a password (unless you want to).
What if I don’t use text or email?
We will send email announcements as needed and include a link to our bulletin, website, and Facebook page to keep you up to date with the latest St. Catherine’s news. And, if you don’t have an email or don’t want to receive emails, you can receive a link to the announcement by text.
We will only send important, immediate, or emergency parish information via text message from Flocknote, though some individual ministries might choose to send reminders by text. If you opt out of text messages, don’t worry, you will receive them by email.
How do I access my options?
When you register, you will be able to choose whether you would like to receive notes by email, text, or both, and the ministries you would like to join. To make changes, you can access your account at any time by using your email or phone, and password. The password can be created at the time of the registration or later.
How do I register?
Joining is easy and it only takes about 2 minutes. Simply text JOINSCS to 84576 from your cell phone and follow the instructions. Or visit https://stcatherinesiena.flocknote.com.
