New Website

By Claudia Miller • November 14, 2025

Evaluating Our Vendors Wisely — and Welcoming Our New Website! Good stewardship isn’t only about how we give — it’s also about how we manage what we have. At St. Mary’s, we regularly review our vendors and services to ensure we’re providing the highest quality services while being careful and responsible with parish resources. One recent example is our new parish website, which quietly launched this past July! If you haven’t explored it yet, now’s the perfect time — and to make it fun, we’re inviting you to join our Website Scavenger Hunt for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to our Catholic Store (usable at our Christmas Fair or any time during the year). So, why the change? Our former site had become outdated, difficult to navigate, and cumbersome to manage. It also came with unpredictable costs and upgrade fees. After careful review, we discovered that the same company that provides our FREE PARISH BULLETINS (funded by the generous advertisers on the back — please take a moment to thank them!) also offers a FREE , U.S.-based website service with reliable tech support. The result? A new and improved site with: • Simplified navigation — easily find our bulletins , parish calendar , and online giving links . • A full translation option to make the site accessible to all. • Mass, Reconciliation, and Adoration schedules prominently displayed right on the homepage. • A new blog entitled Parish News , featuring homilies, event highlights, and these very Stewardship Spotlights. We take great care to keep information current and accurate, but if you spot something that needs attention, please let us know at information@stmaryeugene.com. Now, it’s your turn! Click around our new website, explore its features, and complete the Scavenger Hunt HERE . Submit your answers, for a chance to win that $50 Catholic Store gift card — and see how stewardship in action makes a difference every day.
