Archdiocese of Oklahoma City launches new website

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City on Wednesday launched a new website to better serve Catholics and parishes in central and western Oklahoma. The new website at www.archokc.org features clearer navigation tools and more opportunity for collaboration.
 
“The new website helps the community at large and the Catholic faithful receive information they need to understand and participate fully in the life of the Church,” said the Most Rev. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, Archbishop of Oklahoma City.  
 
The website was designed by eCatholic, a leading provider of engaging websites for Catholic parishes, schools and dioceses.
 
New features on the site include “Find a Parish” and “Find a School” functions, quick access to information about Blessed Stanley Rother, vocations and youth evangelization, and modules for daily scripture readings, Catholic news and video.  
 
The site also provides improved access to contact information for chancery staff, easier navigation for diocesan departments and easily identifiable links for reporting abuse.
 
Soon to be added to the site will be comprehensive biographies for bishops, photo galleries and an updated directory.
 
“The website already is providing new opportunities to share content with other dioceses, parishes and the public to educate users and inspire participation in the Church,” said Diane Clay, director of communications for the archdiocese. “We encourage parish staff, pastors and parishioners to visit the new site to learn more about diocesan programs and to take advantage of resources available in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.”
