WeCreate is the trusted resource Catholic parish staff rely on for high-quality graphics and content to support their church’s ministries. From OCIA to Grief Ministry to the Giving Tree and more, WeCreate gives parish staff and ministry leaders the visuals they need. 

The following guide shows how WeCreate can support some of the most common parish ministries found at churches nationwide. Let’s dive in!

Liturgical Ministry

This ministry ensures the reverent celebration of the Mass and other sacraments, and can include Lectors, Altar Servers, Communion Ministers, Sacristans, and more. 

WeCreate can provide:

• Pre-made Templates for bulletins, worship aids, flyers and digital displays.
• Mass Planning Support with images and written content aligned with the weekly readings.
• Graphics for Ministers to enhance liturgical scheduling, training handouts, and announcements related to liturgical ministries.
• Catholic Clip Art to add that little bit of flair to your bulletins and announcements with custom clip art for holidays, holy days, and traditions.

Music Ministry

Whether your parish has only a small music group or many choirs and instrumentalists, your music ministry plays an important role in your parish’s worship life and spiritual identity.

WeCreate can provide:

• Seasonal Images and liturgically appropriate art that music ministers can use for printed worship aids and concert flyers.
• Digital Display Graphics for the screens in your sanctuary or narthex to support weekly hymns and parts of the Mass being shared.
• Social Media Assets to help recruit new members and raise awareness of special music ministry events. 

Religious Education

Often this ministry encompasses youth education, as well as adult religious education, OCIA, Sacramental preparation, and various retreats and small groups. With such a diverse offering, it’s important to have a robust library of Catholic content to rely on for support. 

WeCreate can provide: 

• Age-Appropriate Communication Tools like flyer templates, social media graphics, Gospel illustrations, and images for holy days and saint feast days that can be customized to different age groups.
• Liturgical Thematic Content that RE coordinators can align with their teaching schedule. Both written and graphic content for everything from Advent to Ordinary Time including Gospel reflection questions, Catholic teachings, and more. 
• Sacramental Prep Content including images for educational materials, invitation templates for sacrament celebrations, and even graphics calling for program registrations and volunteer recruitment. 
• Children’s Puzzles, Games, and Coloring Pages to add as bulletin inserts, have available in the parish nursery, or for use during children’s ministry.
  
  

Social Justice/Outreach 

Your parish likely has some type of outreach ministry to serve your neighbors and draw people into your community. These types of miniseries often encompass a wide variety of service projects and events. 

WeCreate can provide: 

• Announcement Graphics and Flyer Templates to invite your community to outreach events and/or ask for participation.
• Custom Images to support all sorts of ministry events, from spring cleaning days and parish auctions, to yard sales and Mass on the Grass. WeCreate even has graphics to help you recruit volunteers, collect donations, and thank those who support your outreach efforts.
• Bilingual Adaptations of parish graphics for communities with both Spanish and English speakers. Find bilingual graphics for both print and digital use that celebrate Catholic holidays, as well as thousands of Spanish and English options.
• The Social Media Content Calendar in WeCreate is curated every month with an image and caption for each day of the week, ready for your parish to customize. This calendar makes social media outreach a breeze for staff. 
• Facebook and Instagram Story Graphics that deal with everything from inviting parishioners to special Mass times to education about saints and social teaching. These specially designed story slides are easy to upload to your parish social media and customize to fit your needs for outreach.
