Q: A dilemma with bulletins is that they are often (too) distributed as people ENTER the church for Mass.; some containing pirated music and readings texts, etc. Much better if they were distributed AFTER Mass as they leave. Unless something happened that could not make it into “press time” there is NO NEED to make announcements.

A: We email the bulletin to everyone on Friday and keep a mini-bulletin for pickup at church—mainly for visitors. I do like announcements, though. Brief, but I like calling attention to some upcoming events in as many ways as possible.
