Founded by Jodi Lane — a convert to the Catholic Faith since 2013, parish social media manager since 2013, and formed for 15 years under the guidance of Fr. William C. Mooney.
Beyond the Pews began not merely as a business venture, but from a profound calling. My name is Jodi Lane, and at the heart of my work lies a singular mission: to help share the enduring beauty, strength, and truth of the Catholic faith in a world that is constantly evolving.
My Catholic faith journey formally began in 2010. For over two transformative years, I immersed myself in learning under the guidance of Father William C. Mooney, whose foundational lessons grounded me deeply in truth. My spiritual formation deepened further as I assisted Father Mooney for 13 subsequent years, cultivating a profound love and understanding of our faith through dedicated ministry and active parish life.
My practical digital outreach commenced in 2013 when I built my first website. I went on to manage social media for Corpus Christi Catholic Church until Father Mooney retired. I continued managing Fr. Mooney's personal and Education Facebook pages "Faith and Reason". I am currently creating and managing St. Ambrose Catholic Church Social Media content. Through these experiences, I witnessed firsthand the undeniable importance of digital communication; social media has become a vital mission field.
Father Mooney, my generous mentor, has since gone to God. His unwavering faithfulness and boundless love for the Church left an indelible mark, and I believe the profound insights he shared are meant to be shared widely. This deep conviction is the very reason I created Beyond the Pews.
Jodi Lane has done a fabulous job of creating the media communication for St. Ambrose Parish. She has the perfect combination of Catholic Faith and professionalism. Jodi has kept our parish's social media outreach up-to-date and attractive. Jodi created an outstanding video for our 150th Parish Anniversary. She has a true zeal for witnessing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through social media… Fr. Steven Zehler, Pastor at St. Ambrose Catholic Church
The Digital Advantage
Social media extends the Church’s mission beyond physical walls, creating a digital porch where neighbors can encounter Christ in their daily feeds. A consistent presence serves both current parishioners and those still seeking, offering a faithful invitation to come closer to the life of the Church.
The Power of Social Media for Catholic Churches
The Catholic Church is alive, but in today’s connected world, if people don’t see it, they may never know it. Social media is no longer optional—it's one of the most powerful tools for evangelization, informing, and inviting. Beyond the Pews helps parishes use this tool with purpose, extending the Church's reach far beyond Sunday.
Increase Parishioner Engagement
People are busy, but always connected. Social media keeps your parish present in their daily lives, reminding them of Mass, events, and the liturgical calendar. When parishioners feel consistently connected, they return.
Grow Your Parish Community
A strong online presence is often a family's first impression. Consistent, welcoming content attracts new families, reaches inactive Catholics, and invites visitors, showcasing a vibrant community they'll want to join.
Increase Donations & Support
When people feel connected, they give. Social media informs parishioners about needs, promotes giving campaigns, and shares the impact of donations. When they see where their support goes, they are more likely to give generously.
Promote Growth & Building Projects
Whether you’re building a Family Life Center or renovating grounds, communication is key. Social media shares your vision, provides updates, celebrates milestones, and invites participation, ensuring people support what they understand.
Highlight Ministries & Talents
Your parish is full of gifts. Social media brings those gifts to light—from choirs and youth ministries to volunteers and leaders. When people see faith in action, it inspires them to get involved, building a stronger, more vibrant Church.
Evangelization in the Digital Age
Every post is an opportunity to share Scripture, teach the faith, inspire hope, and reach someone who may never step into a church. This is modern evangelization, not replacing tradition, but extending it with purpose and clarity.
