• The church public calendar is here - the parish administrator can add events to it if you have a public event.

• You can see other calendars by going to calendar.google.com and looking on the left hand side of your screen. If you post an event to a calendar, it helps to have only the box next to the calendar you wish to use checked. This is so you don't post things in the wrong calendar.

Sites

• If you want to edit your Ministry Page on this site, then go to sites.google.com and look under Recent Sites. There's a pull-down menu, where you can choose "Owned by anyone". If you don't see this site and would like to edit it, then ask Tech Support to send you a link to click on that will make it appear on your screen.
