Chrism Mass
I used InDesign to create this graphic to inform parishioners about and encourage them to attend the Archdiocese of Dubuque's Chrism Mass.
RE Parent Newsletter
Last year, I redesigned the Religious Education Parent Newsletter to improve readability and align it with St. Joseph the Worker branding. Below is the RE Parent Newsletter for April 2019. RE Parent Newsletter April 2019Download
Communal Reconciliation
St. Joseph the Worker and St. Columbkille had a Communal Reconciliation service at St. Columbkille in late March. I created this graphic to let parishioners know about this opportunity to receive the Sacrament.
St. Joseph the Worker Banner
St. Joseph the Worker is located next to a busy highway. The parish hangs up banners for large events like the fall festival and Lenten Buffets to let people driving past know about them. I was tasked with creating a double-sided banner that shared the Easter and Christmas Mass schedules with passing motorists. SJTW BannerDownload

Lent 2019 Theme
SJTW does preaching series where the parish spends a few weeks doing a deep dive into a certain topic and the sermons all follow a theme chosen by a team. The theme for Lent was “Transform?” I used InDesign to design the image and logo for the series. This image was shared online and on the screens in the church and served as the identity for the theme to help parishioners connect the messages together. I also wrote the below paragraph to introduce the theme to parishioners and visitors. Picture Lent. You’re probably thinking about what you’re going to give up this year and what fish fries you’ll try to go to. While these are good things to do, we sometimes lose sight of what Lent is really calling us to.…
Sister Parishes
St. Joseph the Worker has a sister parish in Gonaives, Haiti called St. Therese of the Child Jesus. I used Illustrator to create a logo for St. Therese in French, Haiti's official language. I paired this logo with the logo for St. Joseph the Worker. I use this graphic with any news about St. Therese to help catch parishioners' attention.
Walk in the Word
On Monday nights, St. Joseph the Worker has something called "Walk in the Word." Participants gather to reflect on the previous weekend's Gospel and Homily. I used Illustrator to create a logo for Walk in the Word and used InDesign to create this graphic to share with parishioners so they knew which days and at which times Walk in the Word meets.
Christmas Mass Times Advertisement
A local newspaper allows Dubuque parishes to share their service schedules for Christmas. I designed this advertisement to share the Christmas Mass times at St. Joseph the Worker. I designed it to be noticeable and easily readable using the limited space we were allowed.
Advent Theme Image
SJTW does preaching series where the parish spends a few weeks doing a deep dive into a certain topic and the sermons all follow a theme chosen by a team. The theme for Advent was “Make Room.” I used InDesign to design the image and logo for the series. This image was shared online and on the screens in the church and served as the identity for the theme to help parishioners connect the messages together. I also wrote the below paragraph to introduce the theme to parishioners and visitors. Shopping, giftwrapping, baking, parties. It’s the busiest time of the year. Sometimes with all the stress that can come with Christmas preparations, it can feel like “no room in the inn” describes our lives. We’re so busy that there’s no room…
