Features

Everything a Catholic parish needs to manage Mass intentions, from request to fulfillment.

Mass Requests Made Easy

Step 1 of the public Mass intention request form prompting for the intention name
Preferred-date step of the request form with Any available date and On a specific date options
Review step of the request form listing two Single Mass intentions ready to submit

Anytime, Anywhere

Parishioners submit intentions from any device, day or night, with no phone call or office visit. No account is needed before submitting.

Options Simplified

Request multiple Masses in a single offering. Pick a preferred date for each, give any amount above the suggested offering, and pay online or at the parish.

Confirmation email to a parishioner showing intention, scheduled date, offering, amount paid, payment method, and a View My Dashboard button
Day-before reminder email to a parishioner with the intention name, scheduled date and time, and a View My Dashboard button

Automated Notifications

Parishioners hear from you at every step: confirmation, scheduling, day-before reminder, fulfillment, and receipt. Every message links straight back to their dashboard, no password needed.

Scheduling and reminder notifications let parishioners add the Mass to their personal calendar.

Admin Dashboard

Start each day with a clear picture of what needs attention. Review requests waiting to be scheduled, pending offerings, or stipends ready to disburse. This week's and next week's Masses are right there, with a bulletin snippet ready to copy.

Manage Intentions

Open any Mass intention to polish its public wording, schedule it, assign a priest, or record a cash or check offering. Add walk-in or phone requests by hand so every intention lives in one place.

Admin Calendar

All your Mass slots at a glance. Assign pending intentions and schedule priests. Create ad-hoc Masses for funerals, weddings, or other special occasions.

Public Mass Calendar

A public calendar on your parish homepage shows available and taken Mass times. Parishioners click any open slot to start a request with the date pre-filled.

A compact embed widget puts the same calendar on your own website. Drop it into your homepage, Mass times page, or sidebar.
