What's New

The latest features and improvements.

October 2026

  1. Find open Masses by time

    Filter by Mass time to see which days still have that Mass open, when requesting a Mass or scheduling an intention.

  2. Filter and export a person's Mass intentions

    Download any requester's Mass intentions as a CSV or PDF.

  3. Leave requesters off the sacristy schedule

    A new option prints the sacristy schedule without requester names.

  4. Mark birthdays and anniversaries

    Let requesters say whether an intention is for a birthday, a wedding anniversary, or the anniversary of a death.

  5. Send a Mass card to anyone

    A Mass card can now go to one person while naming who the Mass is offered for as another person, like a friend whose mother has died.

  6. A full-screen kiosk for the Request a Mass form

    Add the kiosk to a tablet's home screen and the Request a Mass form opens full screen, with no browser bars for visitors to tap away from it.

  7. Restore a rejected Mass intention

    Undo a rejection or cancelation made by mistake and put the Mass intention back on your list.

  8. Yearly limits by type of Mass

    Cap how many weekday, Sunday, and Collective Masses each person can request per year.

  9. List every Mass in the bulletin

    The bulletin can now list every Mass of the week, including those without an intention, so it can serve as your weekly Mass schedule.

  10. Print the sacristy schedule for one day

    Print a single day's Masses instead of the whole week, and leave the celebrant column off if you don't need it.

  11. Date-only Masses

    Offer Masses on a date with no set time, for when the time of the Mass is not known in advance.

  12. Private Masses

    Mark a Mass as private to track Masses that are not open to the public.

  13. Record each Mass's form of celebration

    Give a Mass or a whole Mass schedule its form of celebration, Low Mass, Sung Mass, Solemn High Mass or Pontifical High Mass, and it is named that way on the calendars, the Masses list, the bulletin and the sacristy schedule.

  14. Name a Mass

    Give any Mass a title of its own, such as a nuptial Mass named for the couple or a school Mass.

  15. Liturgical days on your calendars

    Enter the liturgical day of any date and it appears under the date on your calendars, on each Mass, in the bulletin snippet and the sacristy schedule.

  16. Cancel a request without notifying the requester

    When you remove a duplicate or a request entered by mistake, you can cancel it without sending the requester a notification. Requests with a paid offering always notify the requester, so they know what happens to their offering.

  17. Kiosk visitors can choose English or Spanish

    Requesters using the kiosk can request a Mass in English or Spanish, whatever language the device is set to. A first-time requester's emails and texts arrive in the language they chose, and the kiosk returns to its usual language for the next visitor.

  18. Get your code by phone call

    If you enter a landline, we call it and read your code aloud. If a text doesn't arrive, choose "Call me instead".

  19. Unschedule without notifying the requester

    When you've already spoken with a requester, you can unschedule their intention without sending them a notification.

  20. Add intentions to a full Collective Mass

    Staff can add an intention to a Collective Mass that has reached your limit, after a warning. Requesters still can't choose a full Mass on the request form.

September 2026

  1. Send a Mass card after you request a Mass

    Send a printed postcard or a free email card for your intention from your dashboard, before or after the Mass is offered. The emails about your Mass also invite you to send one.

  2. Request several Masses for one intention

    Ask for more than one Mass for the same intention in a single request, choosing a date for each or leaving the dates to the parish. One request can hold up to 50 Masses and dedications combined.

  3. Reopen a refunded offering for collection

    When an offering was refunded but the Mass is still going to be offered, put it back to unpaid so it can be paid online, recorded by hand, or marked as no offering.

  4. Cancel and refund a whole payment

    Reverse a checkout from its payment page. A payment covers everything paid together, so every Mass and dedication on it is canceled, what the requester paid goes back to their card, and the requester is notified.

  5. See every payment and what it covers

    A new Payments page lists every offering payment your organization has received, showing who paid and which Mass intentions and dedications each payment covers.

  6. Set where email replies are sent

    Set a reply-to email address so parishioners can reply directly to your organization.

  7. Add people to your roster

    Add someone directly from the People page, with their contact details, language, and parish.

  8. Parish on the quick-add requester form

    When you add a requester while taking a Mass intention or dedication, you can now record which parish they belong to.

  9. One account, several addresses

    Add another email address or phone number to your account and sign in with any of them.

August 2026

  1. Calendar updates when a Mass changes

    When a Mass you requested moves to a new time or is declined, the email now updates or removes the entry in your calendar instead of leaving the old one in place.

  2. Separate weekday and Sunday offerings

    Parishes that ask for a larger offering on Sundays can now suggest two amounts instead of one. Parishioners see the amount that matches the Mass they are requesting, and a request made for a Sunday is held for a Sunday.

  3. Disburse surplus stipends to a parish or diocese

    When a priest may keep only one stipend for the day, or a Collective Mass carries several intentions, the extra stipends are now held and disbursed to a parish, the diocese, or another payee, with the same record, reporting, and bookkeeper handoff as a priest payout.

  4. Every paid offering accounted for on Unpaid Stipends

    The Unpaid Stipends report now also lists stipends held for another payee and fulfilled Masses that earn no stipend by rule, such as a Pro Populo Mass.

  5. One stipend per priest per day

    When a priest celebrates more than one Mass with a stipend on the same day, a disbursement pays one stipend for that day by default and holds the others as surplus for a parish or diocese payout, following canon 951.

  6. Filter and export the Unpaid Stipends report

    Narrow the Unpaid Stipends report to a range of Mass dates, then export it as a CSV or PDF.

  7. Correct the celebrant after a Mass is fulfilled

    When priests swap Masses, you can now update who offered a Mass after it is marked fulfilled, until the stipend is disbursed.

  8. Sort names and nicknames

    Choose the name a person is filed under in alphabetical lists, and the nickname that greets them in emails and text messages. Admins set both on a person or member form, everyone sets their own nickname on their profile, and leaving either blank fills it in from the name automatically.

  9. Record an offering from the intentions list

    Recording a cash or check offering no longer means opening the intention first. The Record Payment action is now in the actions menu on the Mass Intentions list and on a person's page.

  10. Every person has a page

    Open anyone on your People list to see their contact details and involvement with the website. Search in the sidebar now finds people by name, email, or phone, so you can jump straight to their page from anywhere.

  11. Deacons on your People list

    Add your organization's deacons. Deacons appear on your People list with their own tab, and volunteer roles can draw from them.

  12. Allocate offerings between parishes and diocese

    For organizations that retain offerings instead of paying stipends: a daily ledger sends the largest offering each day to the parishes and the rest to the diocese, with a year-end split across your churches.

  13. Turn off stipend disbursements

    Organizations whose priests are salaried can now turn off stipend disbursement tracking in Settings under Stipends. Disbursement pages and reports hide while it is off.

  14. Set your fiscal year

    Set a fiscal year, like July through June, in Settings. The annual Mass Intentions report and Backup Report follow it, and every report shows the dates its year covers.

  15. Choose the basis for financial reports

    Reports can now count offerings by the date the Mass is said instead of the date it is requested. Choose the report basis, and how a series of Masses is dated, in Settings under Mass Offerings.

  16. Monthly Mass intention limits

    Cap how many Mass intentions a person can request per calendar month, alongside the existing per-day and per-year limits. All three now sit together on the Request a Mass settings page, and each can be overridden for an individual person.

  17. Thank a priest straight from your email

    Requesters without an account can now act on the emails they receive. Clicking the button in a Mass notification signs you in and sets up your account, so you can send a thank-you note or check on a request without registering first.

  18. Clone a Mass schedule

    Duplicate an existing Mass schedule from the schedules list, then adjust anything before saving.

  19. Manage dedications like Mass intentions

    Search and export the dedications list, print an item's upcoming schedule for the sacristan or florist, refine bulletin wording, correct requesters and request dates, follow up on and fix offering records, and see dedication offerings in the Offerings Summary report. Requesters get a reminder before their dedication begins and a notice when it completes.

  20. Pay a dedication offering from your dashboard

    Requesters can make an unpaid dedication offering online from My Dedications, the same way as a Mass offering, instead of bringing cash or a check to the parish.

  21. Adjust stipends and mileage as you build a payout

    Set the exact stipend and mileage for each Mass right in the disbursement table, so you can pay what a situation calls for instead of only what your standard rates work out to.

July 2026

  1. Add several dedications and take payment once

    Add Dedication now matches Add Mass Intention: enter several dedications for one requester in a single pass and pay for them all at once with the new Credit Card option.

  2. Autoschedule an intention

    The scheduling picker for administrators now has an Autoschedule button that jumps to the earliest open Mass.

  3. Add several intentions and take payment once

    Add Mass Intention now takes several intentions in one pass, so someone asking for a few Masses is recorded in a single visit. Pay for them all at once with the new Credit Card option.

  4. Offer dedications like a sanctuary light or altar flowers

    Parishes can now offer dedication items such as a sanctuary light, altar flowers, or seasonal poinsettias. Parishioners request them right on the Request a Mass form, include an intention, pick a week or day, and make an offering, together with Mass intentions in one checkout.

  5. Requesters can choose which church

    Parishes that celebrate at more than one location can now let requesters say where they want the Mass offered, so their intention appears in their own bulletin. Each location shows its next available date, and scheduling honors the request.

  6. Kiosk mode for a shared parish device

    Put the request form on a tablet or laptop at the parish. The kiosk keeps visitors signed out and resets between requests. Set it up under Promote, then Kiosk.

  7. Draft disbursements for bookkeeper handoff

    Save a stipend disbursement as a draft and your bookkeeper is notified to record the payment and complete it. Every disbursement now has a downloadable PDF.

  8. Correct who requested an intention

    When a Mass intention was recorded under the wrong person, change its requester from the intention detail page, alongside the request date.

  9. Reorder your parish list

    Drag the parishes on Settings, then Parishes into the order you want, and the request form shows them to requesters in that order.

  10. Filter the Admin Calendar by priest

    Choose a priest to see only the Masses they are assigned to celebrate or concelebrate, alongside the existing location filter.

  11. Accept requests through a fixed end date

    The Request Window setting now offers a fixed end date alongside the rolling Request Horizon. Choose a fixed date when you open your Mass book one period at a time, for example through the end of the calendar year, and visitors cannot request a Mass past it.

  12. Clearer start and end dates for Mass schedules

    The Mass schedule form now spells out that the start date is your first Mass and that an end date is for a Mass schedule that will change in the future. If you added an end date your schedule doesn't need, edit it and set Ends to Never so your Masses continue past that date.

  13. Jump anywhere with search

    Choose Search at the top of the admin sidebar to jump to any admin page or find a Mass intention or person by typing a few letters.

  14. Search your Mass intentions

    Find any intention on the Mass Intentions list by its wording, requester name or email, Mass card recipient, or reference number.

  15. Alerts when Stripe pauses online payments

    If Stripe ever pauses your organization's online payments, for example over an expired verification requirement, admins now receive an email and in-app alert right away with a link to review and complete whatever Stripe needs.

  16. Mark a paid offering as unpaid

    Reverse a payment recorded at the parish, for example when a check does not clear. The offering shows as unpaid again so you can record a new payment or mark the intention as having no offering.

  17. Bulletin weeks include the Saturday vigil

    The bulletin and sacristy schedule now include the Saturday evening vigil Mass before each week's starting Sunday, so the whole liturgical weekend is covered.

  18. Format the bulletin your way

    New preferences on the Bulletin page let you group Masses by date or by location, include requester names, and list canceled Masses.

  19. Correct the request date on an intention

    Edit the date a Mass intention was requested from its detail page.
