New Parish Directory Coming!

Busson Portrait Directories of Barberton, Ohio, is going to prepare a Church Family Directory for us in full color. This bound book will tell the story of St. Benedict in word and picture. Color portraits of all the families and a membership roster will be included. Each family/individual that is photographed and selects a pose will receive a copy of the directory and an 8 X 10 portrait of the directory pose absolutely free. There is no obligation to purchase anything, but of course you will be offered the opportunity to order portraits if you so choose. One of our aims to build community is to get to know each other by name. The directory will help us to do that since so many new families have joined the parish since the last directory.

Photography is scheduled for these dates: Beginning June 30, 2008 and ending August 2, 2008. Pictures will be taken in O'Brien Hall.

Answers to Often Asked Questions

When will we see the proofs?

Your family will be photographed, view your proofs, and select your portraits within minutes. It only takes a little time to help your church create memories to last a lifetime.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Each participating family receives one free album copy and an 8x10 portrait of the directory pose. What pays for the program are voluntary portrait orders. By the law of averages, many of us have let the years go by without having a family portrait. Don't miss this opportunity to come in with your entire family and be included in your church family album.

Can I order portrait copies?

Families may order personal portrait copies. We have been given special lower prices and guarantee that the finished portraits will be good quality. All major credit cards will be accepted.

Who may participate?

Any single adult (over 18) or family group. All family members must be photographed at the same time.

How should we dress?

As you wish to be known and remembered by others. However, since the album is in color, wear compatible colors. The drop background is a bluish clouded sky.

Is there anything else to do?

Yes, be early enough to check hair, make-up and if anyone has a facial blemish, use some cover-up type make-up. Album photos cannot be retouched.
