In October the Communications Commission conducted a survey to assess the effectiveness of the Trumpet, Trinity Website, and weekly email, and to identify areas for improvement. The results indicate that for the most part we are doing a good job. A number of good suggestions were given for ways to improve all three areas. In particular, we are reminded that some parishioners do not communicate by computer. We will be looking at ways to address this problem in the future. If you would like to read a report that summarizes the results of the survey, click here.
