Bulletin Guidelines
The following guidelines are to be used in preparing and editing the material for our parish weekly Bulletin. The guidelines are designed to achieve consistency in the type and frequency of information included in the Bulletin, and to ensure that the Bulletin has adequate space for all the pertinent news of the parish.
Bulletin Submittal Deadlines
News items must be sent to Marie by 8:00 am Thursday, one and a half weeks before the weekend the Bulletin is scheduled to be distributed. For example the deadline for the January 31, 2009 Bulletin is Thursday, January 22 at 8:00 am. Any exceptions must be reviewed and approved by the Parish Office.
News Item Frequency
For normal parish and ministry activities, information will be run for two weeks prior to the event. The first submittal typically follows the "5 W's" structure as noted below, and subsequent submittals are typically shorter, i.e., re-announcing the activity and providing a contact.
NOTE: Major parish-wide events fall outside these guidelines and may require a special approach to publicity. If this is the case, please contact Elizabeth in the Parish Office.
Preparing Bulletin Items
Bulletin news items should follow the long-established newspaper guideline - who, what, when, where, and why - in that order. For example:
WHO - ministry or organization
WHAT - a few words describing the event
WHEN - day, date, time
WHERE - location
WHY - One or two sentences explaining the purpose of importance; e.g., fund
raiser, meeting, program, etc.
Considering both space and our Bulletin readers, keep the news brief and to the point. If you have a compelling reason for a longer, more detailed write-up, please note this when submitting your information so appropriate space can be allocated.
Bulletin Inserts
Please contact Elizabeth Lagowski in the Parish Office at 688-5678 x 303 for more information.
