Parishes

Mass Times People Can Find

Most visits to a parish website come down to one question: when is Mass? We build parish sites that answer it in a second, and then welcome people further in.

IWhat you need

The Work on Your Desk

For pastors, business managers and parish staff.

i.

Mass and Sacrament Times

Mass, confession and adoration times are buried in a PDF bulletin or out of date since the last schedule change.

ii.

Registration and Giving

New families can’t find how to register, and online giving sits behind three clicks and a login.

iii.

Staff Time

The parish secretary is also the webmaster, the bulletin editor and the social media team. The website should take less of the week, not more.

IIWhat we build
