New site asks: Have you considered your future in vestments?

Vocation Boom Catholic priesthood

Vocation Boom! is an integrated campaign focused on supporting the Catholic priesthood as a life’s vocation and mission.The campaign includes marketing strategy, creative development, video and web. Other marketing initiatives include collateral materials, social media and a blog by founder, Jerry Usher. Vocation Boom! has an opportunity to engage young men who may be experiencing God’s call. Through this campaign we are communicating the beauty and complexity of the priesthood, the variety of emotions discerners may experience and that men considering the priesthood are just normal, regular guys –- your son, your friend, your neighbor. We really took a different approach with the message, too. We wanted to appeal to a younger demographic in both tone and delivery. Vocation Boom! is engaging, youthful and inspiring while still being about God’s call.

Office of Youth Ministry - St. Louis

stlyouth.org Screen shot

The Office of Youth Ministry is a division of the Catholic Youth Apostolate in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis, whose goal is stregthening youth ministry.

The website was running Drupal 4.7.11 (originally created on 4.7.6, I think), and I updated it from that to 5.1, then to 6.1, then to 6.15. The upgrade process took about two weeks, because there was a lot of custom development (some of which remains to be implemented on the new site) for registration, newsletters, etc.

The theme is a Zen subtheme, and I was going for a bit more 'organic' and trendy look... thus the plants in the background, and the tree in the St. Louis skyline.

I'm going to be working on a few issues in the coming weeks, but the site is running great, and I'm pretty pleased with the result!

A new website was launched by the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis today. Looks like they're using a custom-rolled PHP-Based CMS.

Very clean and easy on the eyes design from a local outfit called Bicycle Theory
