Clergy Connect

FAQ

Questions dioceses ask.

Everything worth knowing before reaching out — what it is, how you'd switch, and how your data stays private.

A shared system your diocese uses to schedule and coordinate coverage for Masses, confessions, funerals, and weddings — so when a pastor can't make one of their regular commitments, another pastor nearby can step in without a chain of phone calls.
Any Catholic diocese, of any size — from a handful of parishes to dozens. Every pastor and member of diocesan staff gets their own account, and there's no limit on how many of each you can add.
When a request is approved, your diocese's notification sequence sends it out — by default to every pastor whose travel radius reaches that parish, all at once. First to claim it gets it. Your diocese can also send it to everyone, or only to substitute-only priests. See the How It Works page for the step-by-step version.
I handle it for you — during onboarding I load every parish, every pastor, and your existing recurring schedules, and a go-live plan takes your clergy from a first letter to signed in, with no one emailed until the day you go live. After that, your admins can download the diocese's own spreadsheet, edit it, and upload it back, seeing every change before it's saved.
Yes, completely. Every diocese on Clergy Connect has its own isolated data — nobody outside your own clergy and staff can see your schedule, requests, or contact information. See the Privacy & Data Handling page for the full detail.
Yes — the whole site works in any mobile browser, no app to install. Admin tables turn into easy-to-read cards on small screens.
Your diocese sets a follow-up sequence in hours — re-notify the same group, widen it to everyone, or bring in substitute-only priests — and can finish with an alert to the diocesan office and the requester if it's still unfilled, so nothing quietly falls through the cracks.
They're warned, and choose: accept and keep both, accept and step off one or more of their own commitments for just that day, or cancel. If they step off a regular Mass, other priests on that Mass are told, and it's restored automatically if the request they took is later cancelled.
Yes, in two ways. When a request is filled, the priest covering and the priest who asked see each other's email and phone number on their Dashboard. A diocese can also switch on a clergy Directory — off by default — so any signed-in priest can look up a colleague.
Yes. An admin can mark a priest as Subs only. They give a home city instead of a parish, and a diocese can send requests to its substitute-only priests first or as a follow-up.
Yes. Each admin chooses, for each kind of admin email, whether to get it right away, in a daily digest, or in a weekly digest, or to turn it off. Admins also get a plain-language list of every email Clergy Connect sends and an email log showing what actually went out.
