Chrissy Kelleher of Kindling Strategic had a tremendous impact on our parish’s ability to connect with our parishioners throughout the pandemic.  She had already created a beautiful new website prior to the pandemic; little did we know how important this would become.  When the pandemic hit, Chrissy jumped to action in a clear concise manner and set us up with numerous tools which included top notch email campaigns, a remarkable Virtual Parish on our website to connect with our parishioners by creating online worship opportunities, and our very own YouTube channel displaying weekly homilies and major holiday masses.   

In addition, Chrissy’s vast experience, knowledge, and management helped us to maintain a deep relationship with our community. Chrissy utilized Flocknotes/Mailchimp, and the MyParish app, and YouTube to help us nurture connections with our parishioners, which had a great impact on retaining their financial support.  Our story would be very different without Chrissy Kelleher and Strategic Kindling’s input at such a crucial time.  We are very grateful for the expertise provided by Strategic Kindling and give them the highest endorsement and recommendation.

St. Margaret Parish has been working with Kindling Strategic since July of 2020.  Chrissy and her company have been a true asset to us here at St. Margaret.  Her knowledge of website design has totally enhanced our St. Margaret website 100 percent!  Her thoughts, suggestions of new design programs we can use, and allowing us to work very closely with her to meet our specific parish needs has been wonderful and such a blessing.  The fact that she knows how the Catholic church works is so extremely helpful when explaining what it is we need because she already knows and realizes the importance of something being done a certain way. 

Kindling Strategic is the best decision that we have made to keep St. Margaret up with the demands of the world today and keeping our parishioners and the community  aware of what goes on in our parish.  Our hats off to Chrissy Kelleher for making her company the best for any parish!
