CMOQ TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE VISION

Information and communication technologies are God-given gifts that can maximize the Cathedral's mission "to speak to everyone". We speak to everyone when we use these God-given gifts to:

  1. Increase our ability to minister while reducing our time to administer
  2. Make the Cathedral a model of information/resource access, and ease of use
  3. Bring the uniqueness of the Cathedral alive to our parish, archdiocese, and the world
  4. Link our diversity as a parish into a unified community of faith for the benefit of all
  5. Engage and involve all parish youth and families at all levels of the Cathedral ministry

THE COMMITTEE'S GUIDING PRINCIPLES

  • Communication and information systems throughout the parish and school complex must enable seamless real time communication and information flow and access for parish staff and volunteers.
  • All communication and information systems will be based on open standards to allow for full interoperability between all functions within the parish and school complex.
  • All communication and information systems and software applications procured will be from name brand suppliers with full after sale support and services.
  • Communication and Information system investments will enable universal entry, access, and updating from any authorized single point of entry to the system.
  • All parish and school demographic, sacramental, ministry, and financial information and communication systems will be fully integrated and interoperable.
  • Access to parish information, the offer of ministry resources, requests for information or ministry resources, or the scheduling or inquiry of schedules will not be restricted by time or place.
  • Training support of communication and information technology investments will be allocated at a rate of 30% of every dollar invested in technology resources.
  • A Technology Corp of the youth of our parish will be engaged as much as possible in the development and administration of parish communication and information technology resources, and networks.
