Oklahoma City archdiocese debuts revamped website

The Most Rev. Paul S. Coakley (pictured) is known for embracing social media like Facebook. 

Coakley, who celebrates his first year as archbishop of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City this month, has expressed interest in seeing the Church connect with other through the Internet.

So it comes as no surprise that the archdiocese has unveiled its newly revamped website at http://archokc.org/

Today, Loutitia Eason, the archdiocese’s chancellor, said archdiocesan staff began working on the website’s new look about a year ago because the site’s presentation was antiquated.

“It was old and it hadn’t been updated in years,” she said.

Eason said the new website went live on Feb. 17.  She said there’s still work to be done but “we’re really happy that it’s up and running.”

About Coakley, Eason said the archbishop welcomed the new look.

“He’s very into technology,” she said.

Coakley’s installation as Oklahoma City archbishop was held Feb. 11, 2011 in Edmond.
