BUFFALO, NY -  Rare Earth Interactive, a local eBusiness Solutions firm, today announced that it has been selected to provide technological and logistical support or the internet component of the Catholic Schools Development Program.

The program, also known as the CSDP, is a combination of marketing services being provided to Catholic Schools in a concerted effort to improve community visibility and enrollment at selected schools operating under the auspices of the Department of Catholic Education and the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo.

Rare Earth Interactive will utilize its core StetNet Admin Premium eBusiness application suite to empower individual schools participating in the program with the ability to update, manage and maintain their own individual sites - each with its own design. Each CSDP school will be able to manage Web Pages, Events, News Articles and Photo Albums, in addition to the ability to send targeted Broadcast email campaigns to their communities. These services are being provided at no cost to participating schools, thanks to a grant by the CSDP.

The solution will be made available in up to 5 phases and is expected to continue through 2008 to encompass up to 70 schools in the Diocese.

Funding for the program is being provided by the Robert T. Healy Foundation of Camden, NJ and is administered locally by the Foundation for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo.
