GETTING TO KNOW THE NEW DALLASCATHOLIC.ORG EMAILS

DALLASCATHOLIC.ORG EMAILS?

• Each employee of the diocese will be receiving a new @dallascatholic.org email - all paid diocesan employees will have an email from the diocese

• These emails will be the primary channel of communications between Bishop Farrell and the Pastoral Center staff and the parish and school employees

WHAT COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES HAVE WE FACED AT THE DIOCESE?

• When each pastoral center department sent emails to their own mailing lists, parish priests and staff received too many emails from Pastoral Center

• Bishop Farrell had no way to broadcast important information to all employees of the diocese

• People had difficulty finding parish staff who had transferred from one parish to another

• Some parish staff were were not forwarding PC News to ministry staff, important messages from diocese

HOW DOES THE NEW SYSTEM SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS?

• Communications from the Pastoral Center are sentonly once a week containing bulletins from all departments

• Bishop Farrell now has a way to send an email blast to every employee in the diocese when he needs to do so

• Email stays with the employee, no matter where he or she works in the diocese

• Each employee is sent their own correspondence, removing the work for staff of forwarding the emails to them

WHAT KIND OF EMAILS CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE?

• Pastoral Center News – Bulletins and announcements from all departments in the diocese (Every Thursday afternoon)

• Notes from the Bishop – If Bishop Farrell needs to send out timely news to all employees of the diocese (As needed)

HOW WILL EMPLOYEES RECEIVE THEIR EMAILS?

• Log in directly – Log in via Network Solutions website

• Forward to alternate address – Forward emails to work or personal email account

We HIGHLY ENCOURAGE employees to forward their dallascatholic.org

emails to an address that they use frequently, such as their work or

personal email

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR LAUNCHING THESE NEW EMAILS?

• Each business manager will been given a hard copy list of all of the emails for their parish or school

• It is the responsibility of each parish business manager to distribute the information about these new emails to all employees

• Soft copies of the instructions can be found at www.cathdal.org/newemail

HOW WILL NEW EMPLOYEES BE NOTIFIED OF THEIR NEW EMAIL?

We need your input on this decision!

Option #1 – Email to Business Manager via custom email address [parishcode].bmgr@dallascatholic.org

• Email sent to business manager email address for parish, who will forward the user name, password, and instructions to the employee’s primary email address

• Business manager would be in charge of making sure that new business manager had access to this custom email

Option #2 – Instruction letter mailed directly to employee

WHEN CAN EMPLOYEES EXPECT TO RECEIVE THEIR @DALLASCATHOLIC.ORG EMAIL ACCOUNT?

• Emails will be created once a month from payroll records for new employees

• Employees will be given a letter about their diocesan email with their new hire packet

• They should receive their new email within approximately 30 days of their hire date

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN EMPLOYEE TRANSFERS WITHIN THE DIOCESE?

• The employee would be in charge of making sure that the email forwarded to the correct email address• For example, if the employee originally forwarded the

email to his personal gmail account, there would be no need to change the forwarder

• However, if the employee forwarded this email to their work email (i.e. secretary@allsaintsdallas.org), they would be responsible for making sure that the email was forwarded correctly.

• Transfers of day care employee emails will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis
