ADVERTISING AD SPONSORS ARE NEEDED FOR OUR NEW BULLETIN!
AThis month we are appealing to local businesses and neighboring faithful to sponsor ad space in our bulletin. This weekly bulletin is a main source of communication for registered families, and an important touchpoint for visitors to our parish. We are currently in need of businesses who are looking to advertise locally and build awareness. As an advertiser, your business will be seen as a trusted source in the community. You can count on the support from our parish leadership team and fellow parishioner families and friends. Even if you don’t own a business, you can still sponsor a space for a charitable cause, to honor a memory, ask for prayers, or purchase as a gift for a friend to support their new or existing business.
We would like to thank our current and renewing advertisers for their support of our parish and hope that you consider selecting goods and services advertised in this bulletin. For those interested in placing a new ad, please contact the parish office or call Robin Ungaro with LPi (our bulletin publisher) directly at 203-747-5671.
