ANY website needs "publicity"
. . . including THIS one!

Any good website so easily becomes a party to which all are invited but so few come or return. That's why we see the big-time commercial websites advertised so heavily on TV, on the radio, in newspapers and magazines, on billboards, on delivery trucks, and so on. It is VERY easy to forget one good mouse-click experience, or why we might have saved it as a bookmark or favorite -- so that's why the internet is good business for print-media publishers and sign-painters!

Well-intended nonprofit websites such as this one are no exception, especially if we are trying to just give away the salt of the earth in its guise of social justice worldwide as an issue of responsibility for EVERY parish. A salty and bitter freebie, to be sure!

Our primary site sponsor, PAA (Pastoral Arts Associates of North America), has issued a simple challenge and valuable incentive to the designers and users of this Parish Without Borders website. It is very simple:

Get your diocesan newspaper, or even your hometown daily or weekly, or any legitimate magazine, or nationally-circulated newsletter to print a story or report about this website, and PAA will give your parish a $200.00 Ministry Resources Desktop Publishing Pak. This unique pastoral resource authorizes any qualifying parish to reprint and distribute thousands of handout copies from the writings of Fr. Eugene Walsh, S.S., Dan F. Onley, Fr. James Dallen, PhD., and other respected PAA authors. Your package will included printed copies of these resources as well as all needed diskettes.

Earning this $200 resource for your parish can be as simple as using the "Forward" feature of your email service, or maybe placing a couple pages of copy in your editor friend's inbox.

PROOF OF PUBLICATION!

You get your $200 PAA Resource Pak when we receive a printed copy of the story about "PWB" which you facilitated.

HOW TO DO IT

It's really simple, provided you know the right people at your diocesan paper or other helpful media outlet. Following is a link to the complete text of a report about this website written by Father Joseph Healey,MM, a Maryknoll priest based in Tanzania.

An abridged version has already been published in the Nov-Dec 1999 issue of WORLD PARISH, a Maryknoll online resource in process of replacing its original direct-mail version. Fr. Healey invites you to use or adapt this text in accord with your pastoral or editorial needs.

Clicking here will give you an overview of this website envisioned by Fr. Joe Healey, M.M.

Get any credible version of Fr. Joe's text into print media, or write your own from scratch, mail us a proof copy, and your parish promptly receives the $200.00 PAA Ministries Resource Package.
