We used this anniversary as a way to celebrate the history of the Cathedral, educating people about our faith, provide opportunities for them to engage more deeply in their faith, encourage visitors to the cathedral.
Our marketing initiatives included airing a documentary on NET TV about the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, promoting the anniversary mass with invitations, through Big City Catholics podcast and with web/print advertisements.
In support of the ongoing Synod process, the Diocese of Brooklyn wanted to ensure that we reach the margins of our Diocese and opinions are included, even those not currently engaged in their parish life.
This six week program of prayer, reflection and response to the key Synod questions enabled us to gather feedback from those who took the survey.
Our goal was to have the parishioners of our Diocese register to take part of a survey to share their perspective so that we can build the future of our Church.
The goal of this campaign is to invite the Diocese to sign up and become a member of The Tablet Catholic News platforms.
This helps ensure the continuation, creation, and distribution of content from the Catholic perspective that informs and enriches the lives of people in Brooklyn and Queens. With membership comes exclusive access to diocesan events, members-only content, networking gatherings, and recognition for support.
Each Friday, we publish a new episode of Big City Catholics podcast, hosted by Bishop Robert J. Brennan, Bishop of Brooklyn, and Reverend Christopher R. Heanue.
Bishop Brennan recounts his travels throughout the diocese, the people he has met, and their stories of charity and faith.
With other guests, Bishop Brennan digs into important topics affecting our Church and the daily lives of people in Brooklyn and Queens.
United By Christmas began as an Advent 2022 initiative, and has expanded every year since during the Advent season. It is a way to remind people to focus on the universality of God’s gift of Jesus to all mankind. We encourage the faithful to follow a daily Advent calendar through a four-week Advent journey based on hope, peace, love, and joy. In so doing, we reflect, pray, and do good unto others. The site highlights the importance of Reconciliation Monday, an annual event which, through the sacrament of Reconciliation, prepares our hearts for Christmas. It also introduces the importance of praying the St. Andrew Novena, beginning on the feast of St. Andrew (November 30) and concluding on Christmas Eve.
Our goal is to engage Catholics to join us on an Advent journey, encourage them in their faith, and create digestible emails they can share with others to spread the true meaning of Christmas.
From Christmas Eve 2024 through the Epiphany on January 6, 2026, Catholics around the world celebrate a Jubilee Year. On the United By Christmas website, we introduced our readers to information on the origins of the Jubilee and how to prepare and celebrate the Jubilee year.
For years, DeSales Media has been a dedicated digital partner to the Catholic academies and schools of Brooklyn and Queens. Now we are offering our services to Catholic educators across the country.
When we set out to create our network of academy websites, the Diocese of Brooklyn was facing a common problem. Each school’s site was built in a vacuum, which resulted in a jumble of designs, platforms and hosting solutions. There was no continuity, little quality control, and no diocesan-wide structure to help schools establish a professional digital presence.
With the introduction of Tilma Schools, DeSales has brought beautiful design and cutting-edge technology to our diocesan academies. We would love the chance to do the same for you. Read More
Serving the Catholic Youth of Brooklyn and Queens, the mission of youth ministry is to transform the youth from disciple to apostle. As an apostle, the Youth are to be active participants in fulfilling the mission of their parish and building up the Kingdom of God in Brooklyn and Queens.
They are called to empower young people by being members of the Church, participate in the life mission, and work of the Catholic faith community and form and develop young people into leaders of today and tomorrow.
The Marketing & Development Resource Center is designed to provide all the digital and traditional marketing content schools require to drive student enrollment and retention; parent engagement, and community and alumni support.
It supplies additional resources such as advice on constructing events, online support in showing webinars, accessing fundraising techniques for scholarships, and more.
