The flow
How it works
From a time-off request to a covered Mass, in four steps.
Request a sub
A pastor or clergy member needing coverage — for a Mass, confession, funeral, wedding, or anything else — submits a request in a few taps.
Diocese approves
The request goes to the diocesan office for a quick sign-off before anyone is notified.
Nearby clergy are matched
Clergy within each person's own travel radius are found automatically and emailed a one-time claim link — no phone tree required.
First to claim, covers it
Whoever responds first is confirmed instantly, and the shared calendar updates for everyone to see.
See it in action
Always up to date
Every Mass, in one shared calendar
The whole diocese sees the same live calendar — every Mass, confession, funeral, and wedding, with coverage changes reflected the moment they happen. No more comparing spreadsheets or waiting on an email chain.
No double-booking
Know exactly who's covering what
Once someone claims a request, it's confirmed instantly — for them, for the original pastor, and for the diocesan office. No double-booking, no awkward phone calls to confirm who actually showed up.
Why it works
Everything the diocese needs
One shared tool, built around how the diocese actually works.
Radius-based matching
Every pastor and clergy member sets how far they're willing to travel — coverage requests only reach those close enough to say yes.
Multi-parish support
Clergy serving more than one parish can list every home parish — matching always uses whichever is closest.
One-off events
Funerals, weddings, and anything else outside the regular Mass schedule get their own fixed-date coverage requests.
Built for every role
Pastors and diocesan staff each see exactly what they need — nothing more.
FAQ
Questions dioceses ask
A shared system your diocese uses to schedule and coordinate coverage for Masses, confessions, funerals, and weddings — so when a pastor or clergy member can't make one of their regular commitments, another pastor nearby can step in without a chain of phone calls.
