Bulletin
Want to submit something to our bulletin?
Deadlines:
- Regular deadline: the Monday prior to the Sunday bulletin you would like your announcement to appear in.
- For government/national holidays: 2 Mondays prior to the Sunday.
- For Christmas and Easter: 3 Mondays prior to the Sunday.
If you are a Corpus Christi ministry or event organizer, please send your announcement request to Alyssa Eugenio, per the design guidelines below.
If you represent an organization or ministry within the Diocese of Orange, and are approved by the Diocese of Orange, you may submit your event or organization details to Alyssa Eugenio. However, our bulletin is usually completely filled by parish event and ministry information, so we cannot guarantee that your announcement will run. Please include which Sundays you would like your announcement to run so that we do not print your announcement past any event deadlines you may have.
Thank you!
Announcement design guidelines:
- Create your announcement as a full-page document (8.5"x11") for higher quality; an announcement that is created too small cannot be enlarged without image quality loss.
- Announcements will be shrunk down to (at least) a quarter-page. Therefore, text and pictures must be large enough to read at 25% of the size of your original document. The smallest fonts in your document should be at least 28 point Calibri, or the equivalent in your chosen font.
- Keep text to the bare minimum. Avoid long paragraphs, especially if you have pictures or design elements that further reduce your space for text.
- If your announcement includes photos, please send those as separate attachments in case your announcement must be recreated for the space available.
- Please provide 2 copies of your announcement: your working document (such as Word) as well as a static version (such as PDF or JPEG where your design elements are unlikely to move around).
- JPEGs (pictures) are preferable to PDFs.
Conversion tip: Word documents cannot be saved directly to JPEG. A Word doc must first be saved to PDF, then the PDF must be saved as a JPEG. Microsoft Paint or Publisher files, on the other hand, may be saved directly to JPEG.
