Please don t just take our word for it. We were quite content with the way our bulletin looked and with the bulletin publisher. However, now that we have switched to PARISHCOMM, it is like a Light has gone on and the Brightness is amazing. Every week, we receive compliments on the way the bulletin looks, how beautiful the covers are and how the content is easier to read, looks better and is interesting. We are delighted to be a part of the PARISHCOMM Family, because they have provided us with the means to make great changes; use of color, use of photos, interesting Scripture content, and wonderful pages for children. The software was easy to learn and I am having fun with the design and implementation of this new program. Everyone at PARISHCOMM is very helpful and always willing to give me a hand, when I am unsure of how to do something. We couldn t be happier! Carol-Ann Ramirez, Administrative Assistant Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, Methuen, MA I am very happy with our relationship with PARISHCOMM. The program is easy to use and the staff at PARISHCOMM has always been helpful. Although the content they provide is of excellent quality, of more importance to me has been their helpful quick response to my questions, whenever I have had a need to call. Kathy Kelly, Bulletin Editor Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, Gardner, MA All of us here at St. Francis Chapel are very happy with Parish Communications Solutions. We have many design options for our bulletins, including our own designs or the many beautiful covers and bulletin inserts provided for our use. Our bulletins have never looked better. Having the bulletins printed is a very easy process from our end. We look forward to working with Parish Communication Solutions, Inc. for a long time to come. Fr. John Wykes, OMV, Director Saint Francis Chapel, Boston, MA PARISHCOMM has been great for our parish. Many parishioners love the larger print so they can read it. The Parish staff loves the fact that we have space to put whole page notices. People love the covers that grab their attention. Jennifer Campagna, Coordinator of Youth Ministry Saint Athanasius Parish, Reading, MA I m pleased and everyone loves the Bulletin. The quality is consistently excellent both in paper (the feel is elegant ), printing, packaging and delivery. I appreciate your accommodation, when I have held up sending you the copy because of last minute insertions/changes experienced on my end. It s a real pleasure to work with you all. Thank you!

Here is what some of our family members had to say... PARISHCOMM (PCS) has raised the bar so high on customer service, that today I judge every supplier against the high standard they have set. As a bulletin publisher, I am convinced that the graphic standard of our print material must be high in order to compete with the quality of all printed matter in our digital age. PCS provides a beautiful, clean bulletin on great paper, always perfectly folded and stapled, with true color and sharp, readable text. They are determined to get the product right, and frequently have a helpful suggestion, or the calming word that is necessary in last-minute crises. People take pride in our bulletin here, they mail it to their friends and share it with their neighbors. It simply would not be possible to attain the quality we have without the encouragement, support, and techincal know-how of this business which is clearly mission-driven. These folks aren t just printers, they understand what they do to be a ministry, and they do it supremely well. Father James A. Field, Pastor Incarnation of Our Lord and Saviot Jesus Christ, Melrose & Saugus, MA These changes have made a world of difference, not only in the efficiency in the workings of our parish, but also in how the parishioners have acknowledged that Saint Mary s is very much alive and well in the faith community Very Reverend James M. Carroll, Pastor Saint Mary s Parish Family, Georgetown, MA The clarity of the print on our bulletin and the color in the cover reproductions, as well as the paper are outstanding and we receive many comments on our bulletin. Also, we are most grateful for the timely service you always provide, very often at the last minute when we are in a panic. Also, the kindness and courtesy you extend are greatly appreciated. Here at St. Ignatius, we look at the folks of PARISHCOMM as good friends as well as business associates. Betty McLaughlin, Parish Secretary Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola Chestnut Hill, MA on the Campus of Boston College We are very happy with all the services we receive from PARISHCOMM. From the the way my questions are always answered right on the spot, to the look of the bulletin, how quickly our bulletins are delivered, & how nice everyone is! We get a lot of positive feedback from our parishioners. Anna Lopez, Parish Secretary Saint Michael Parish, Hudson, MA Before we engaged your services, if we wanted to keep a secret in the parish, we d put it in the bulletin...we can t do that now,... people are actually reading it! Reverend Martin P. Donahue, Jr., Pastor Church of Saint Christopher, Worcester, MA Parish Communication Solutions, Inc. Where Family Comes First!
