COMMENTS FROM RESPONDENTS
Online Registration and Automation
- registering on web site
- Im a new parisioner at St Charles and I would like to
have been able to register on line, but that is not an option,
so I will do it in the church office Sunday.
- I really really wish we could register for the Parish
online. I have been attending mass for over 5 years -- and
a CCD teacher there for 5 years -- and I still haven't made
it into the Parish office to register. I never seem to remember
when I'm on site.
- Add parish registration forms to be filled out and brought
in.
- Can you make a form for BULLETIN SUBMISSIONS that is
set up like this survey?
- Is there any way to eliminate the extra step of emailing
someone when you want to reserve a room and have it placed
on the calendar? Can that step be automated?
the volunteer section needs to be updated.
was just looking on information regarding Ascension Thursday
and whether or not it was a Holy Day of Obligation. I can't
find a peep about this feast anywhere on the site. To be fair,
I couldn't find the info I need on the Diocesan website, the
Arlington Catholic Herald website or the Catholic Encyclopedia
website either... :-(
We have to work to get the various "private" calendars
integrated into a single information base, and to avoid conflicts
among events. but you already know this, and we [ministry
volunteers] must help this happen.
Since there is no missal with the prayers of the Mass (it
is more a hymnal) could you publish the readings for the Mass?
information on volunteer opportunities for music ministers,
e.g., volunteer cantors, instrumentalists
Photos
- i wish the other priests had pictures too because I don't
know what they look like.
- Parish office staff and priests. Out of date. Update
new members. Remove those who have left. Need pictures of
each of staff and of priests. Need a brief commentary on
each (when start work, how long at St Charles, hobbies...)
- Pictures of the workers in the rectory and the front
desk; information about what services are available from
that pointy desk in the parish center; information about
how to rent out Benedict Hall or if parishioner discounts
are available
- Given that we have new priests in residence from time
to time, it would be great to add digital photos to the
clergy page to help parishioners become familiar with our
associate pastors, priests in residence, etc.... possibly
even photos of key lay folks/parish council, etc.
- I particularly like the photos of parish events. It would
be nice if coverage could be expanded. Some of the montages
are quite creative, you are obviously putting a lot of effort
into this.
- More photos! More photo links! More photo event transcriptions
(articles), and accompanying photos. I really like photos
of activities of all kinds at St Charles Borromeo parish!
How to have masses said for special purposes. Perhaps it's
there - I haven't looked in a while. Will look now (didn't
want to have to repeat survey :-D)
Would like to see a blurb on the home page that links to the
Sacrament of Marriage, i.e., Getting married in the church?
color of the vestments for the upcoming Sunday
Eucharistic Minister schedule.
Posting the Eucharistic minister schedule would be helpful.
Some Neighborhood Web pages need to be updated.
Each month provide a running financial update showing year-to-date
revenue collected, general operating expenses and each outreach
program. (Financial data provided in Bulletin is on per week
basis and, therefore, of little value in providing parishoners
timely info re use of their funds. Annual financial report
does not serve useful purpose.
More provision for feedback from parishoners on programs,
homilies, ministries, etc
With iPods becoming so popular, would it be possible to have
Fr. Creedon's homilies made into podcasts to download from
the site?
I really enjoy reading Father Creedon's homilies. I would
love to see other priests' homilies on the web site as well
- every priest at St. Charles has a lot to offer to our community.
Homily summaries for the other priests besides Fr. Creedon;
more photos from parish events; short recaps of the monthly
highlights, like how many people showed up for an event or
how much money was raised; summaries of the terrific stories
about the parish shared at the ministries dinner this month!
directions to the church need to be reviewed. when you click
on the mapquest link it shows a different state and church.
[now fixed]
Link to GMU Catholic Campus Ministry. Outreach to GMU Catholics
at the Arlington Campus.
You might do polls of favorite songs at Mass. You would
have to have different songs for each of the Masses, but maybe
it could rotate by week. Another poll might be on favorite
recent reading/lesson from epistles and gospels.
Information for new parishioners about activities for kids
(religious education, etc) displayed in a more prominent location.
I would also be interested in a section specifically geared
for children/families... I know that there is a lot of information
embedded within the ministry section, etc...; however, I might
add an icon for "St. Charles' Kids" which could
link to the Liturgy of the Word, Religious instruction, How
to become an altar boy, children's liturgies, etc.
A monthly prayer guide (like praythenews.com's monthly meditation
and prayer guide). Thanks. You do a great job with the website!
I would like you to receive and then post (1) the Mass schedule
and (2) the bulletin in a more timely manner.

an amazing job. I love the website and have to travel a
lot so I appreciate reading Fr. Creedon's homilies when
I have to be away. GREAT job.
- You're the best!
- I live in Dallas, TX. However, I enjoy checking your
website from time to time to see what's happening. When
I'm in Washington on business, I find your priest Sunday
schedule really helpful when trying to decide which service
to attend.
- Great website!! Always the best of any other parish site
I look at. It's a wonderful resource, thank you for your
ministry!!!!
- Keep up the good work!!!
- God bless you all for your work and effort in making
this a truly great website and an invaluable asset to St.
Charles. [name of respondent]
Great job!!
- love it. you all do a great job
- Not that I can think of. We have one of the most comprehensive
web sites of any parish I have seen. (And I've seen about
two dozen, so not a huge sample, but still.) Good work!
- You have the best parish website in the Diocese!
- this is a very comprehensive website...I was impressed
to see teh concept of electronic funds transfer for weekly
donations. You rock my world!
- Super job on the website.... I look forward to having
more free time someday to explore it, but you've done a
fantastic job & its incredibly helpful.... Thanks SO
much.
- I think the web-site is fantastic! It contains a great
deal of information... even the ability to download forms.
I know a lot of work goes into maintaining a website and
you guys do a great job of that. We also look forward to
the humorous write-up about the web-site in the bulletin
each week. Keep up the good work!
