Share the good news

Recently, we added a function to the Sisters of Providence website that makes it more convenient for you to "share" SP web pages on your favorite social networks. (You have probably seen similar functions on many other sites.)

The share icons are located on most pages to the right of the page headline and they look like this:


You won't see these icons on the front page of the site, but try just about any other page and they will be there.

If you are a Facebook or Twitter user, just click on the appropriate icon on the page you wish to share and you'll be led to a screen where you can easily post the link to your profile. Hover over the green "ShareThis" icon and it will pop-up a box with at least 48 other sharing options, including sharing via your e-mail account or by text message to a phone.

You can always copy and paste a link to our site on a social network, but this function makes that easier for you and adds headlines, article summaries and sometimes even a thumbnail of a photo, while giving you space for your own comments.

Mass communication these days is very driven by social media networks and our hope is that by adding this function, we will encourage our visitors (that means you!) to share the story of the mission and ministry of the Sisters of Providence with a wider audience.
