GETTING TO KNOW THE NEW
DALLASCATHOLIC.ORG EMAILS
CATHOLIC DIOCESE OF DALLAS
OFFICE OF COMMUNICATIONS
DALLASCATHOLIC.ORG EMAILS?
• Each employee of the diocese will be receiving a
new @dallascatholic.org email - all paid diocesan
employees will have an email from the diocese
• These emails will be the primary channel of
communications between Bishop Farrell and the
Pastoral Center staff and the parish and school
employees
WHAT COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES
HAVE WE FACED AT THE DIOCESE?
• When each pastoral center department sent emails to
their own mailing lists, parish priests and staff received
too many emails from Pastoral Center
• Bishop Farrell had no way to broadcast important
information to all employees of the diocese
• People had difficulty finding parish staff who had
transferred from one parish to another
• Some parish staff were were not forwarding PC News to
ministry staff, important messages from diocese
HOW DOES THE NEW SYSTEM SOLVE
THESE PROBLEMS?
• Communications from the Pastoral Center are sent
only once a week containing bulletins from all
departments
• Bishop Farrell now has a way to send an email blast to
every employee in the diocese when he needs to do so
• Email stays with the employee, no matter where he or
she works in the diocese
• Each employee is sent their own correspondence,
removing the work for staff of forwarding the emails to
them
WHAT KIND OF EMAILS CAN I EXPECT
TO RECEIVE?
• Pastoral Center News – Bulletins and
announcements from all departments in the
diocese (Every Thursday afternoon)
• Notes from the Bishop – If Bishop Farrell needs to
send out timely news to all employees of the
diocese (As needed)
HOW WILL EMPLOYEES RECEIVE THEIR
EMAILS?
• Log in directly – Log in via Network Solutions website
• Forward to alternate address – Forward emails to work or
personal email account
We HIGHLY ENCOURAGE employees to
forward their dallascatholic.org emails
to an address that they use frequently,
such as their work or personal email
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR
LAUNCHING THESE NEW EMAILS?
• Each business manager will been given a hard
copy list of all of the emails for their parish or school
• It is the responsibility of each parish business
manager to distribute the information about these
new emails to all employees
• Soft copies of the instructions can be found at
www.cathdal.org/newemail

HOW WILL NEW EMPLOYEES BE
NOTIFIED OF THEIR NEW EMAIL?
We need your input on this decision!
Option #1 – Email to Business Manager via custom email
address [parishcode].bmgr@dallascatholic.org
• Email sent to business manager email address for parish, who will
forward the user name, password, and instructions to the
employee’s primary email address
• Business manager would be in charge of making sure that new
business manager had access to this custom email
Option #2 – Instruction letter mailed directly to employee
WHEN CAN EMPLOYEES EXPECT TO RECEIVE THEIR
@DALLASCATHOLIC.ORG EMAIL ACCOUNT?
• Emails will be created once a month from payroll
records for new employees
• Employees will be given a letter about their
diocesan email with their new hire packet
• They should receive their new email within
approximately 30 days of their hire date
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN EMPLOYEE
TRANSFERS WITHIN THE DIOCESE?
• The employee would be in charge of making sure
that the email forwarded to the correct email
address
• For example, if the employee originally forwarded the email
to his personal gmail account, there would be no need to
change the forwarder
• However, if the employee forwarded this email to their work
email (i.e. secretary@allsaintsdallas.org), they would be
responsible for making sure that the email was forwarded
correctly.
• Transfers of day care employee emails will be dealt
with on a case-by-case basis
