NEW MASS FINDER
In June, the communications department re-launched the diocesan website, www.doy.org, with a new, user-friendly design. The “Mass Finder” tool is a new feature on the site, allowing parishioners to find Mass times or look up parishes by county. Parishioners and visitors can also filter for Eucharistic Adoration, Santa Misa en Español (Mass in Spanish), St. Vincent de Paul Society and more. The website was developed with the support of 898 Marketing, a digital marketing agency based in Canfield.
