What Parish Connect is
Parish Connect is a white-label platform that gives each Catholic parish its own branded app for Android and iOS. Each app carries the parish's name, logo, and identity, with its own app store presence. It brings schedules such as daily Mass times, confession hours, special liturgies, parish events, and Bible studies together with news, weekly bulletins, push notifications, and reminders. Ministry leads can post announcements, create events, and upload gallery images.
Faith features include daily Mass readings, psalms, Gospel reflections, prayers, shared prayer intentions, digital giving, and ways for families to contact the parish about sacramental needs. Catholic-focused Wordle, crossword, and word search games include daily parish leaderboards. Advertisers fund the apps, so parishes pay no setup or subscription fees. The Your Parish App plan is free and includes the branded apps, full parish feature set, onboarding and team training, maintenance and support, requested updates, and weekly update and community growth emails. The provider offers app updates at the parish's discretion. Ministry leads currently have a limited set of management tools; a full admin panel migration is described as coming soon.
