Catholic Parish Connect

Parish Connect is a mission-driven mobile app designed to help Parish Staff carry out an active and successful ministry. Parish Connect is a secure and high-quality mobile app that provides Catholic Parishes of all sizes the capability to provide their own private labeled mobile app to their members and entire community. Parish Connect is designed to allow church staff or even parish volunteers quickly and easily configure and manage the app content.

Evangelize

The most important mission of our Parish Connect App is to help our Catholic Church spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world. Pope Francis has defined Evangelize as “To give witness with joy and simplicity to what we are and what we believe in.” Using Parish Connect will help you evangelize to the digital generation enabling you to:

• Provide timely Catholic Prayers
• Give digital witness to Jesus Christ
• Access Daily Mass Readings
• Distribute Prayer Chain Requests
• Provide valuable Digital Devotions
• Access Old and New Testaments
• Increase parishioner Comfort level for Reconciliation
• Grow your Catholic Faith Community

Parish Connect has no up-front set-up costs and as low as a $99 per month subscription fee (per parish) all without including ads and with assurance that your parishioners’ data will not be seen, sold or used in anyway. In other words, the app provides zero increase to your Parishioners’ digital footprints.

Parish Connect natively supports market leading Apple iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) as well as includes a browser based app for use on personal computers.

The app is simple to purchase. From your iPad, just download the Parish Connect Admin Console App from the Apple App Store. Then sign-up for the monthly subscription option of your choice (no commitment required beyond Month One) and in just a few minutes, you can begin to configure your church’s app. In a month or less, your app and PC accessible site will be available for access by your parishioners as FSG Mobile Solutions does all of the work of submitting and updating your app to the App Store.
