The Challenge
Saint Philip Roman Catholic Parish needed a new website that would not only make essential parish information easy to access but also reflect the parish’s rich history and vibrant community life. Previously, the existing site made it difficult for parishioners and visitors to quickly find key resources such as Mass schedules, bulletins, and event details.
In addition, the parish sought to attract new members by effectively highlighting its long history, active ministries, and welcoming spirit.
The Solution
Lava designed and developed a welcoming, visually engaging website that blends tradition with modern convenience. Key features included:
Prominent placement of the Liturgy schedule and weekly bulletins, making it easy for parishioners to quickly find the information they need
A visually rich design that showcases the parish’s historic architecture and community spirit
User-friendly navigation, which encourages engagement with ministries, religious education, and sacramental life
In addition, the site was designed to be easy for parish staff to update, ensuring that Mass times, bulletins, and event information remain current without the need for technical assistance.
The Outcome
- Increased ease of use for parishioners seeking schedules, bulletins, and ministry information
- A more accessible digital presence that reflects the warmth and history of the parish community
- A welcoming online space for prospective parishioners to learn about Saint Philip’s rich spiritual and community life
What Made It Complex
The challenge was balancing the need to honor the parish’s deep historical roots, while also presenting information in a modern, efficient way. Lava’s solution captured the essence of the parish visually, while at the same time streamlining navigation. As a result, the site now meets the time-sensitive needs of its users—especially those seeking last-minute liturgy details or event updates.
