Technology in service of community.

Your parish is unique.
Your app should be, too.

Parish Connect is a white-label Catholic parish app platform by Divine Software Systems LLC, based in Fremont, California. We started with a simple conviction: every Catholic parish, regardless of size or budget, deserves a mobile app that carries its own name, its own identity, and its own place in the app stores.

Too many parishes were being asked to pay monthly fees for tools that buried their community inside a shared platform. We believed there was a better model: one where advertisers fund the running of each app, so the parish never sees a bill.

THE PROBLEM WE SET OUT TO SOLVE

A parish app shouldn’t cost
what a ministry budget can’t afford.

Parish life runs on volunteers, Sunday collections, and the generosity of the community. When a technology platform asks for hundreds or thousands of dollars per year just to keep a mobile presence alive, it’s the small parishes, the ones with the most to gain from better communication, that get left behind.

We built Parish Connect so that model doesn’t have to be the only option. Advertisers, typically local businesses that serve the same communities our parishes do, fund the platform. Parishes keep their brand. Parishioners get an app worth downloading. Everyone benefits.

WHERE WE ARE TODAY

From Fremont, California
to the Philippines.

Divine Software Systems LLC is headquartered at 37675 Niles Blvd in Fremont, California. Our team handles onboarding, training, content preparation, technical maintenance, and app store publishing for every parish we serve.

In August 2026, we launched in the Philippines, one of the most vibrant Catholic cultures in the world. Parishes there have responded warmly, and many communities are already using their branded apps to connect with parishioners daily.

We are also partnering with the National Association of Filipino Priests (NAFP) for their November 2026 conference. The NAFP Conference app, powered by Parish Connect and available on the iOS App Store and Google Play, will give attendees a firsthand experience of what their own parish community could have.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Catholic by design.
Free by intention.

Parish Connect was built specifically for Catholic communities. Daily Mass readings, psalms, Gospel reflections, and seasonal liturgical content tied to Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time are not features parishes have to request. They are included in every app from day one.

Catholic mini-games including Wordle, crossword, and word search give parishioners a playful daily reason to open the app and compete on local parish leaderboards. Ministry group leaders have their own tools to post announcements, create events, and upload images without needing full admin access.

And because we believe in transparency, we send every parish team a weekly email covering app updates and how engagement is growing within their community. You’ll always know how your app is serving your people.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PARISH

We grow when
your community grows.

We don’t hand off a product and walk away. Every parish that launches with us gets onboarding support, team training, and access to our team for technical maintenance and app updates whenever they want help. A full admin panel migration is coming soon, which will give all parish admins direct control to customize every part of the app themselves.

Our business model is simple and honest: we succeed when parishes thrive. The more parishioners who use the app, the more visible our advertisers become, the more sustainable the platform grows, and the more parishes we can serve. There is no hidden plan, no premium tier waiting to be unlocked, no price increase coming down the road.

Free forever means exactly that. It’s our promise to every parish we work with, and it’s the foundation everything else is built on.
