Information Technology

The Information Technology department at the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City exists to make ministry more effective, more efficient, and more easily accomplished. 

For Parishes: If you suspect that you may be a victim of cybercrime, please contact the IT office at 405-721-5651 x767 (SOS) as soon as possible, 24/7/365.
If an IT staff member does not answer your call, please leave a message stating the following:

• Your Name
• Your Parish, School, Other Entity
• Your Callback Number (if different than the number you called)
• A brief description of what is happening (ransomware, e-mail account compromise, successful phishing attempt, etc.). 

All IT staff will receive an email after your voicemail is left and we will get back to you as soon as possible. 

• Check the e-mail address. The name may look like someone you know, but when you hover over the name with the cursor, the e-mail address is not correct or odd;
• Scam e-mails and texts often have misspelled words;
• They often include a sense of urgency;
• The most common scams involve a request for you to purchase gift cards to provide the gift card numbers to the scammers;
• They can include a request for a wire or ACH transfer. Please know the archdiocese will never request funds be distributed through a wire or ACH transfer;
• Fraudulent e-mail and text messages often have links from unknown senders or from unknown or unexpected websites;
• If you are unsure, do not click on the link or respond to the e-mail/text. Call a number you know is legitimate (i.e. from the archdiocesan, parish or school directories) and ask.
