Clergy Connect

Features

Everything a diocese needs to keep coverage running

Mass, confession, funeral, and wedding scheduling software built specifically for how a Catholic diocese actually operates — not a generic staff scheduler retrofitted for clergy.

Radius-based coverage matching

Every pastor and clergy member sets their own travel radius. When a Mass or confession needs a sub, Clergy Connect automatically finds every priest close enough to reasonably get there and emails them all at once — no one has to guess who might be free or start working a phone tree.

Quick Link — no login required

Not every priest wants another login to remember. Quick Link gives each pastor and clergy member a permanent, personal one-tap page — bookmark it, print it, or scan a QR code — to request or claim coverage without ever signing in.

Multi-parish and multi-role support

Clergy serving more than one parish list every home parish, and matching always uses whichever is closest. Pastors and diocesan staff each get a role built around what they actually need to do, from covering a Mass to approving requests diocese-wide.

Auto-approval for routine requests

Not every coverage request needs a human in the loop. Turn on auto-approval for specific request types — confessions, for instance — so eligible clergy are notified the moment a request comes in, while funerals or weddings still route through the diocesan office first.

Automatic reminders and stale-request alerts

An open request that no one has claimed yet can quietly become a real problem. Clergy Connect can re-notify eligible clergy on a schedule you set, and separately alert the diocesan office once a request has gone unfilled too long — so nothing falls through the cracks.

One shared calendar, map, and print view

Every Mass, confession, funeral, and wedding across the diocese lives on one calendar, filterable by parish or pastor, plus a map view showing every parish and its assigned clergy at a glance. Print any month for a bulletin or binder in one click.

Bulk CSV import and export

Migrating off a spreadsheet or a paper binder is the biggest worry for most dioceses switching schedulers. Import every parish, every pastor and clergy member, and existing recurring Mass schedules in one CSV upload — most dioceses are fully set up before their trial even starts counting.

Reports and an admin audit log

See fill rates, average time-to-fill, which parishes generate the most requests, and who's covered the most Masses — plus a full audit log of every admin change, so the diocesan office always has an answer for who did what and when.

Built for every device and every clergy member

The entire site works in any mobile browser with no app to install, supports English, Spanish, and Hindi, and offers larger text and dark mode for clergy who need them — because a scheduling tool only works if everyone can actually use it.
