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 mediaFr. Steven Zehler, Pastor at St. Ambrose Catholic Church
The Mission
Extending the Church's Reach
Into the Digital Age
In a world that is increasingly connected yet often isolated, social media provides a vital pathway for the Church to extend its mission of evangelization beyond the physical walls of the parish. By sharing the beauty of the faith, the joy of community events, and the solemnity of the Sacraments online, we create a digital porch where neighbors can encounter Christ in their daily feeds.
A positive and consistent social media presence not only keeps the current flock informed but serves as a gentle invitation to those seeking truth. It humanizes the Church and demonstrates that the love of God is active and alive in our local community, reaching hearts where they are most present today.
Your Mission Doesn't Stop at the Church Doors
Your parish is alive with purpose every single day — through prayer groups, youth ministry, outreach programs, and quiet acts of faith. But too often, the world only sees what happens on Sunday morning. Beyond the Pews exists to change that.

From crafting inspiring posts that highlight your parish's vibrant community to designing beautiful materials for your next event. We ensure your message is shared clearly, consistently, and with the reverence it deserves — all week long.
