Parish Connect & Pushpay

WHY PARISH CONNECT

Built differently. For a reason.

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.

• Free forever. No subscriptions, no setup fees. Advertisers fund the running of your app so your parish never receives a bill. No trials, no price tiers, no surprise renewals.
• Your parish’s own branded app. Your name, your logo, your own listing on the iOS App Store and Google Play. Not a shared app where parishioners search for you inside someone else’s platform.
• Catholic-first content built in. Daily Mass readings, psalms, Gospel reflections, seasonal liturgical content, and Catholic mini-games come standard. These are not add-ons; they are part of every parish app from day one.
• Ministry tools that empower your leaders. Ministry group leads can post announcements, create events, and add images to the gallery for their group, without needing admin access to the full app.
• Real people supporting your parish. Our team handles onboarding, training, technical maintenance, and app store updates. You decide how much you want to manage yourself.
• Weekly visibility into how your community is growing. Every parish team receives weekly emails covering app updates and engagement, so you always know how the app is serving your people.
• Communication tools are not the same as a parish app. Email and text platforms serve an important role, but they do not give your parish a branded native app that parishioners can download from the iOS App Store or Google Play. Parish Connect fills that gap.
