FAQs for YOUs

Q: What is the CatholicTT Registry?

The CatholicTT Registry is an archdiocesan data collection instrument being used to collect contact information on all Catholics in Trinidad and Tobago…and a little more.

His Grace, the Most Reverend, Archbishop Charles Jason Gordon, is leading us to community in a new digital milieu in this time of COVID-19 and beyond.  It is his expressed intention for us to stay connected as clergy and parishioners as families, friends and parish communities using the technology available for continuing communication with one another.

Q: What are the benefits of joining the CatholicTT Registry?

The CatholicTT Registry is designed and developed by an established Archdiocesan Data Governance Committee (DGC) and is governed by the Trinidad and Tobago Data Protection Act, 2011, partially proclaimed, and by the DGC’s core principles of ethical data practices.

Our Code of Practice, declared in the CatholicTT Registry form, promotes, and fosters an understanding of how data can be used responsibly to increase YOUR trust and confidence in the use of YOUR data.
