Meet the Parish Comms Overhaul
It isn't your fault.
You were handed the parish communications on top of everything else you do, probably with no training, no handover, and a logo that's older than the person who designed it. You're making it work with what you have. That's not nothing.
But here's what's quietly happening while the posts go out sporadically and the bulletin takes all morning. The people who would have found you, the young families, the thirty- and forty-somethings looking for a parish, the newcomer in town on a Sunday, can't.
Not because they don't care.
Because they can't find you, or what they find doesn't look alive.
That's the gap I fix.
This is Spero Creative
My name is Janelle
Before going out on my own, I spent years in communications at the Archdiocese of Winnipeg, through leadership transitions, big announcements, and the everyday work of helping a diocese speak clearly and carefully to its people.
I've run Canva workshops for parish and diocese staff from across Western Canada. I've also created content for the kind of behind-the-scenes storytelling that makes people lean in instead of scroll past.
I know this world. The budgets are tight, the volunteers come and go, and the pastor changes every several years while you stay. That's exactly why I built this.
Done with you, not done and disappeared.
Over six to eight weeks, I come in, figure out what your parish actually needs, set it up properly, and make sure you can run it with confidence after I leave.
1. We sit down together
You, your pastor and me. What's working, what isn't, what you actually need. No cookie-cutter package.
2. I build it for you

4. I teach you, in-person, at your desk
How to post, where to find comments, how it all actually works. You'll be able to do this yourself when I go.
5. I don't vanish
Six weeks of ask-me-anything support after we finish.
