Parishes can now quickly and easily create their own websites, thanks to a scheme sponsored by the province and six dioceses. The first step for parishes in St Asaph Diocese is to contact the Diocesan Communications Officer, Phil Topham, to be issued with a username. More information about the scheme can be found on the Church in Wales website, here.
