Post Your Announcements On JohnstonPatch

Our site makes it easy to tell neighbors about important news.

Every life is a story — and JohnstonPatch wants to hear yours!

By creating a profile on JohnstonPatch — or signing in with your Facebook account — you can post announcements about weddings (or civil unions, now that they're legal in Rhode Island), births, baptisms, graduation, First Communion, and obituaries.

And the best part is: Our announcements are free. That's right — free.

There are two ways to add your announcements to the site:

  • Sign in with your Facebook account. Up at the top right, there's a little "Sign up" link. When you click it, you'll see a blue banner that walks you through the process of using your Facebook account to sign into JohnstonPatch.
  • Create a profile. You can also set up your own Patch profile. All you need is an email address.

Either way, your profile gives you access to all of our sites and lets you add photos, videos, and comments.

Oce you've created a profile, click on the Announcements link — it's also found under the News menu at the top right of the home page.

Once there, look for the "Announce it to everyone" button to complete the easy-to-follow template. When you're done, click "Post My Announcement" and your entry will go live on the site.

If you have any questions, e-mail me at joseph.hutnak@patch.com.
