WHY PARISH CONNECT
Most church app platforms charge monthly fees, house your parish inside a shared directory, or bundle a mobile app with services you may not need. Parish Connect was designed around a different set of priorities.
Advertiser-funded, with your parish’s identity on iOS and Android. Includes ministry tools, galleries by folder, Catholic mini-games with daily parish leaderboards, seasonal content, and weekly growth emails.
Full admin customization is coming soon. Team-managed updates are available at your parish’s discretion.
A Catholic app with readings, bulletins, calendars, prayers, and parish communication tools.
myParish operates as a shared platform where parishioners discover their church alongside thousands of others. Parish Connect gives your parish its own standalone app with its own name and app store listing. Your community looks for you directly, not inside someone else's directory. And Parish Connect is completely free, with no subscription costs to the parish.
A church app platform with connected giving and content integrations, including calendar and media feeds.
Pushpay is built primarily around giving, with the app serving as an extension of its payment ecosystem. Parish Connect is built around parish life first: schedules, prayer, ministry tools, games, and community. It is completely free to the parish, with no platform fees, no giving-provider lock-in, and no proposal required to get started.
Offers a mobile church app alongside giving, church management, websites, and an All Access bundle.
Tithely bundles its church app with giving and management tools, which means parishes often pay for the full suite to access the app. Parish Connect is free to every parish with no bundles and no required add-ons. You get a fully branded iOS and Android app with Catholic-first content included, at no cost, with no bundle required.
A church app with giving, media, events, prayer requests, and notifications, included with compatible giving or church management platforms. Custom branding is an upgrade.
MinistryOne requires a compatible giving or church management platform before the app is included, and custom branding is an additional upgrade on top of that. Parish Connect gives every parish its own branded app from the start, with no platform dependency and no upgrade cost. Catholic content, ministry tools, and weekly progress emails are all included.
A church technology provider with a broad platform covering apps, media, giving, and church management.
Subsplash is a comprehensive platform with a wide feature set, but that breadth comes with subscription costs and a proposal process. Parish Connect focuses on what Catholic parishes need most: a branded app, Catholic content, ministry tools, and real support, all completely free. There is no proposal, no negotiation, and no monthly fee.
A Catholic parish communication platform focused on email and text messaging, with tools for managing groups, lists, and parishioner outreach.
Flocknote is a well-regarded tool for parish email and text communication, but it is not a mobile app platform. It does not provide a branded native app with its own listing on the iOS App Store or Google Play. Parish Connect complements communication tools by giving your community a dedicated app they can download, with Catholic content, ministry features, schedules, giving, and games all in one place.
