Web and Social Media report for 2024
During the past year we have continued to use the parish website and Facebook. Below is a summary of usage.
Website : We achieved a total of 17,588 views during 2024. This makes it our biggest viewing year since the website began in 2018. (NB in February 2025 we updated the menu with the hope of improving it)
We had 13,756 views during 2023, which in itself was a great step up from 2021 (9,073 views) and 2022 (9,548 views). Work started on reviving the website in mid-2021 which proved to be a challenging task. However, gradually the site was brought up to date with new items added and others being revamped. Further updates and changes were made during 2024 which it is hoped will prove to continue to be helpful to support our parish.
The most popular item has been Mass Times. This is followed by the Newsletter, which as many of you will know is now available online.
You can receive notifications of updates to our News page by clicking the Subscribe button on our homepage. (NB – this will only notify you of News updates, presently once per week. It will not notify when other web pages are updated).
Other items include pages for New Parishioners; Sacraments; Partners (Huruma Orphanage, Aid to the Church in Need, Franciscan Friars of Renewal, Woodford Fellowship of Churches). There are also pages on Lectio Divina, Christian Meditation, Prayers of Pope Francis, as well as articles on papal letters. We also have a Donate page and a Gift Aid page.
Parish Facebook: Our Parish Facebook page has 164 followers. This has been largely utilised as an extension of the website in that many of the web posts are referenced here to keep parishioners informed as to what is happening within church via our website.
Parish Social Committee Facebook: Our Parish Social Committee Facebook page has 127 followers. It is maintained by Tina Marrai. It is viewed quite regularly even by ex-parishioners who have moved away but are still interested in our Church and will often support our Parish by coming to the events.
If you have any feedback then please get in touch (salwebadmin@btinternet.com).
