Catholic Church devoid of communication skills

What is it about the Catholic Church and communications?

Last week literature was distributed dealing with Catholic Schools Week 2016.

It is an expensive package. Pages and pages on the subjct.

Guess what? It appears there is no mention telling the reader when the week takes place. And if there is it must be written in tiny font in some obscure place.

But it is so typical.

A religious congegration runs a website that writes 1970's and abbreviates the plural of brothers to Br's. Its general design and look is simply shocking. And the information it gives is generally a long time out of date. It's embarrassing.

Everything about it is unattractive. And to add to the nonsense of it all, there seems to be no shortage of money behind the website.

Has it something to do with the church thinking it knows best?

It's often joked that you can tell the status of a country from its banknotes: if the president's face is on the note then it's sure to be a dictatorship. In that context it's well worth checking out some Irish diocesan websites.

Below is what appears to be the welcome note to Catholic Schools Week 2016. Any mention of when it is taking place?
