Before you reach out

Frequently asked questions

What is Clergy Connect?
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.
Who is it for?
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.
How does the coverage matching actually work?
When a request is approved, the app automatically finds every pastor and clergy member whose travel radius reaches that parish, and emails all of them at once — first to claim it gets it. See the full walkthrough on the How It Works page for the step-by-step version.
How hard is it to switch from what we use now?
We handle it for you — bulk CSV import gets every parish, every pastor and clergy member, and existing recurring schedules loaded in one pass, and onboarding is free and hands-on. Most dioceses are fully set up before their trial even starts counting.
Is our diocese's data kept separate from other dioceses?
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.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes — the whole site works in any mobile browser, no app to install.
What if nobody's available to cover a request?
The diocese can turn on automatic reminder emails to eligible clergy the longer a request sits open, plus a separate notice to the diocesan office once it's been unfilled too long — so nothing quietly falls through the cracks.
