On behalf of the parish of St. Bernard in Rockville, Connecticut, I would like to take a moment to thank you and your company for providing us with a communication tool that has far surpassed anything we have attempted in the past.

The St. Bernard Web Page has now become an integral part of our day to day parish life. It’s wonderful to have one site where everyone can go to find out information, check on events, view the huge photo gallery, communicate with staff, inquire about programs, and simply get an overview of who we are as a parish community.

Keeping our parish of over 1900 families connected and informed has been both a challenge and a major priority for our Parish Council. In a world that is intimately tied to modern technology it is imperative that the Church stays current with her people in order to remind them that God is part of this fast paced world.

We need to have the means to communicate with the outside world about the liturgies, services, programs and Spirit we offer. Your company and personnel have been incredibly helpful along every stage of our developing the Web Page.

We were most impressed with being able to customize our site so that it stands out and represents who we are as a worshiping community.

As Pastor I am very pleased that we now have a powerful tool to invite, entice, and educate our people.

With my sincere gratitude,

Rev. Richard Ricard

I have worked with Connecting Members, for several years on websites for two parishes: St. Joseph Marello Parish and for the past three-and-a-half years at my current post where I serve as pastor of St. Elizabeth Parish in Aiea, Hawaii.

Connecting Membes has done magnificent work for us, preparing the look of our website and then getting us online with an easy to manage site with great features - for example, sending email notes and announcements to parishioners who sign up for this service.

I am the webmaster and I keep the site current. The site is very easy to use and if a problem arises, the Connecting Members team is always ready to find solutions.

Congratulations to Dave and Connecting Members for their great service!!!

Our parish faith community is a very busy place with multiple projects happening at the same time. I am sure this is not unlike any small or medium size businesses that employ the services of Connecting Members.

We have been able to have a beautiful presence on the web despite my limitations of time to put into the project design and execution. I attribute our success to Dave Gambino.

It is an absolute privilege to work with him and other team members at Connecting Members. Dave Gambino understands the importance of genuine customer service in a way that seems lost to many companies today.

He is not only absolutely prompt in his service, he is highly competent and able to relate to those who are unfamiliar with the detours of developing web pages. I have referred Connecting Members to other pastors and will continue to do so. We are not a high income parish and we are trying to reach out to a new demographic.

We are currently in the process of upgrading our platform. I am excited with the new features offered at Connecting Members. Dave understands what we need and provides it with kindness and professionalism.

Thank you.

I have worked with Connecting Members for about 10 years now.

Dave and his employees at Connecting Members have provided our website design and phone app design with great attention to detail as well as the support for our specific needs we have as a faith community. Connecting Members has continued to grow and develop over these years and has kept us up with the technology advancements as they come along.

I would recommend Connecting Members to you in a heart beat!
