Archdiocese of Edinburgh and St Andrews

Canva for Parishes: Getting Started
2026-07-11 10:00 - 10:45 (Europe/London) | Zoom
With Microsoft Publisher being retired later this year, many parishes are looking for a simple, effective way to create their weekly newsletter.
This session will introduce Canva, a free and easy-to-use design tool that can help you produce professional-looking materials in minutes.
In this live online workshop, we’ll walk through the basics step by step, including:

How to access and set up Canva
Demo of creating your parish newsletter
Editing text, images, and layouts
Saving, downloading, and reusing your designs

This is a demonstration-style session hosted by Matthew Meade, our Director of Communications, so you can watch and learn at your own pace.
There will be opportunities to ask questions, and a recording will be made available afterwards.
You do not need to be based in the Archdiocese to attend. No previous design experience is needed. Register for this event here.
Please set up a free Canva account before attending the session by visiting www.canva.com and signing up with your parish email address. Queries? Contact matthew.meade@staned.org.uk
