“My favorite ParishStaq features are the Events and Groups tabs. The Events tab helps me see what the ministers plan each week and promote those events on our social media platforms. The Groups tab allows us to send email blasts to parishioners any time of the week.”

Rex Yabut, St. Michael Catholic Church

At the macro-level, data can be used to measure not only how effective we were in forming missionary disciples but, at the micro level, how well we’re forming hearts for Jesus.

“In the past I had a 3-ring binder with everyone’s address and phone numbers. If I was going to make a Communion call or to visit someone, I had to try to look up the number and address and then plug that into my GPS. With the LEAD App, I can bring up their name, see a picture, and I can just hit a button to call them or immediately get directions to their home which has been a total game changer!”

Fr. Christopher Walsh, Pastor

It’s so nice having a comprehensive view of who’s involved, how they’re involved, and identifying opportunities to intentionally continue their path towards discipleship.

 FAQs

What’s the difference between texts, app notifications, and rich push notifications?

Texts are delivered to your messaging app on your mobile device. Text messages do not require an app to be installed, however there are limitations on the number of characters and reporting. Rich push notifications are dynamic messages, which are delivered to your parish app and offer a much more engaging experience. Rich push notifications allow you to include images, links, surveys, polls, and more.  Additionally, messages sent through the app will offer you insights and reporting on how your communications are being received by your community.

My parish wants to send letters - is that possible with ParishStaq?

Yes, ParishStaq is designed to facilitate communications of all kinds. Labels can easily be created using our Mail Merge capabilities. On the Donor Management side, end-of-year Giving Statements can be sent by mail for those donors who prefer a paper copy.

Does ParishStaq support messaging between groups or leaders?

Yes, our platform will allow for messaging within small groups as well as leaders in your parish. These communications can occur within the LEAD app for leaders, and online, or in the app for groups.
