What's New

The latest features and improvements.

September 2026

  1. Set where email replies are sent

    Set an email address for your organization and every notification we send on your behalf points replies there.

  2. Add people to your roster

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

  3. 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.

  4. One account, several addresses

    Add another email address or phone number to your account and sign in with any of them, and everything stays on the same account whichever one you use.

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, disbursements now help limit the payout to one stipend per day.

  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 the deacons serving your organization. Deacons appear on your People list with their own tab, and can be enrolled in volunteer roles.

  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 bundled Masses are 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

    An outstanding dedication offering can now be paid online from My Dedications, just like a Mass offering, so bringing cash or a check to the parish is no longer the only way to settle it.

  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 user 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.

June 2026

  1. Lock a Mass to reserve it

    Lock a Mass to keep it off the Request a Mass form and out of auto-scheduling. You can still assign an intention as an administrator.

  2. Pick which admin emails you receive

    Each admin can now turn off email for specific admin alerts, such as new requests or cancelations, from their dashboard. You still see every notification in the app.

  3. Show intentions on upcoming Masses

    Turn on a publishing setting to display the published intention on each upcoming Mass in your public calendar.

  4. Spot collective Masses on the calendar

    The admin calendar marks each collective Mass with a group icon and its current intention count, and shows a dashed outline while the Mass still has room for more intentions.

  5. See when an intention exceeds a requester's limit

    When you add a Mass intention on a requester's behalf, a heads-up appears if it would put them over their request limit, so you can continue or stop.

  6. Bulletin weeks now run Sunday to Sunday

    The bulletin and sacristy schedule group each week from one Sunday through the following Sunday, matching when most bulletins are published.

  7. Edit Masses in bulk

    Select multiple Masses, then assign a priest or perform various other actions.

  8. Filter and export your Mass intentions

    Narrow the Mass Intentions list by date range and location, then export the results to a CSV file to open in a spreadsheet.

  9. Set a default priest for a Mass schedule

    Name a default priest on a recurring Mass schedule. The priest is assigned automatically when an intention is scheduled on a Mass that has no priest yet.

  10. Correct an offering amount

    Fix the offering amount and payment method on an intention after it is entered.

  11. Allow offerings below the suggested amount

    Turn on a setting to let requesters give any offering down to $0, instead of requiring at least the suggested amount. The suggested amount still pre-fills.

  12. Activity Log

    A new Activity page gives admins a running history of everything happening on the website.

  13. Backup Report

    Opt in to a Backup Report email to receive exports of your fulfilled and open Mass intentions, so you always have a copy saved outside the system.

  14. Match stipends to the offering

    Turn on a setting to pay each priest the offering received for the intention instead of a fixed rate. On a Collective Mass only the first intention is paid.

  15. Accept deceased intentions only

    Enable a setting to offer Deceased as the only intention type on your public form, for organizations that do not offer Masses for the living.

  16. Delete a Mass

    Remove a Mass entirely instead of only canceling it.

  17. Show Mass intentions on the public calendar

    Turn on a publishing setting to display the published intention on each past Mass in your public calendar.

  18. Set when each location opens for requests

    Give any Mass location its own earliest requestable date so it can start accepting online requests on a different day than the rest, overriding the organization default.

  19. Preview offering follow-ups

    See what a follow-up email looks like before you send it.

  20. Custom social share images

    Upload a social share image and pull from a shared photo library so your Mass request page looks polished anywhere it gets posted.

  21. More Mass card designs and personalization

    Requesters preview a personalized card front and back as they go, choose from a growing set of designs, and pick the recipient's language.

  22. Collect a parish on each request

    Add an optional parish field to your request form to capture which parish each requester belongs to.

  23. Pick a location when requesting a Mass

    Requesters choose a Mass location alongside their preferred date, so they can request at whichever location suits them.

  24. Intentions without an offering

    Mark a Mass intention as having no offering.
