- TOUR!
- This software is free
- Uses tech by GoogleEarth
- Site host 360 Degrees Make VT
- We will try to get into the church as soon as possible to sort
- The tour is hosted elsewhere so we just have a piece of code that links to anyplace we want to put it like social media, websites, etc without having to put it anywhere.
- Can we link to / create priest information – Yes, link to Holy Rosary website where it has that.
- We will proceed to add this to the website.
- FUND RAISING
