Presentation of Prizes and Certificates
On the evening of 28th September, two members of the St Bridget's Communications Team attended an informal Awards Ceremony held at Westminster Cathedral to announce the winners from the shortlist for parish newsletter, parish magazine and parish website awards. They were overwhelmed to hear Bishop John Arnold announce that among some 60 entries, our parish newsletter was placed 2nd in its category (Silver award) and we came 1st (Gold Award) in the website category. The Bishop presented the parish with commendatory certificates and prizes. The event was organised by the Westminster Record and a full report will appear in the November edition. You can also read about it now on the front page of the Diocese website www.rcdow.org,uk under "Other News".
The panel of judges emphasized the importance of communication not only for parishioners to find what they need to know easily but also as vital for outreach and evangelization. It is also firmly in the tradition of Syon Abbey which took full advantage of the new communications possibilities opened up by the invention of moveable-type printing - the internet of its time.
Please continue to send us your comments on the parish newsletter and website so we can build on this solid foundation for the whole community in Isleworth.
Congratulations to us all at St Bridget's.
