The Connect Programs provide T-Mobile connected devices, free of charge, to Clergy, Sisters, Deacons, and Parish Catechetical Leaders to assist in their ministry and support effective communication in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
Since 2016, C3 has distributed thousands of devices to schools within the Archdiocese and has expanded to include Parishes through the Connect Programs. The Connect Programs started with Clergy Connect where Clergy were provided Sprint (now T-Mobile) connected devices. Sisters Connect was started next to provide Women Religious T-Mobile connected devices, followed by PCL Connect which provides connected devices to Parish Catechetical Leaders. Improving communication, providing access to a variety of resources and Internet access assists Parishes in their ministry and strengthens healthy boundaries in ministry by centering emails, calls and other communications on Archdiocesan provided and supported devices.
