For pastors and parish administrators

For parishes

Your parishioners pray for each other by name, and can ask the parish anything without hunting for the right person.

What your parishioners get

• Prayer, by name. Ask the parish or a small circle to pray, and be told when somebody has.
• Circles they make themselves. A family, a ministry, the few people who already know — joined by a code. Your parish has one too, open to anyone who belongs there.
• Answers from your bulletin. Mass times, confessions, baptism preparation — in the app or by telephone, at any hour, and refused rather than guessed when the bulletin does not say.
• Your parish, findable. By name or by what is nearest — including for someone visiting your town who does not know where to go on Sunday.
• The day’s readings. With a plain summary of each, a short reflection, and the saint of the day.

What you would do

Send us a bulletin

Ten minutes

Tell us what is internal

You decide, per document

Mention it once from the ambo

Or in the bulletin

Forward the office phone

Optional — see below

You keep the number you have printed for twenty years. Nobody creates an account with a phone company or pastes anything into a web form.

How the phone line fits in

Your choice, and you can change it whenever you like.

• Only the calls you miss

  Available now

  Most phone systems can forward a call only when the line is busy, nobody picks up after a few rings, or the office is closed. Your staff answer every call they can; the parish line answers the rest.

• Every call, with a person one step away

  In development

  The parish line answers first. Anything it cannot help with is put through to a number you choose, and if nobody is free it takes a message and emails it to the office.

• Keep your number, and let us run it

  On request

  Your existing number moves to us, so callers reach the parish line, the office and voicemail in whatever order you prefer.

What it costs

No setup fee, no contract, no notice period. Parishioners never pay for anything — charging somebody to ask for prayer is not a thing we are willing to build.

A smaller first step

Rather than deciding anything: send this Sunday’s bulletin. We will set it up, and you can ring the number yourself and ask it the awkward questions — the ones you would worry about it getting wrong. Then decide.

If the answer is no, nothing has been printed, nothing has been forwarded, and no parishioner has been affected.

A phone call. We will ring the number you give, and you can hear it answer a question about your own parish before you decide anything.
