Everything your parish office does by hand, finally in one place

Porta Fidei Digitalis brings parishioner registration, ministry scheduling, and targeted parish communications together in one secure platform, built so technology triggers the personal welcome, never replaces it.

Even growing, healthy parishes run on paper and memory

None of these problems are new. What's new is that they no longer have to stay unsolved.

01

Newcomers slip through the cracks

No formal registration means no reliable way to know who walked through the door, or to follow up before they walk back out.

02

Ministry rosters live in someone's head

Spreadsheets and group chats work until the one person managing them goes on vacation. Then nobody knows who's serving Sunday.

03

Every message goes to everyone, or no one

Without targeting, communications either spam the whole parish list or get quietly abandoned. Ministry-specific updates have nowhere to live.

04

No digital on-ramp for the next generation

The demographic most reachable online has no clear, modern way into parish life, so they simply never show up.

The platform

Three modules. Built to work together.

Not three separate tools bolted together: one system where a registration, an approved volunteer, and a targeted message all speak to each other.

Parishioner Registration

A public-facing form your newcomers actually complete, shareable as a link or QR code, no account required on their end. Every submission starts the clock on your 48-hour follow-up protocol, because a warm welcome is a person, not a database row.

  • Individual and household registration in one form
  • Faith background: sacraments, previous parish, baptism & confirmation dates
  • Pending → Contacted → Complete follow-up tracking, per person
  • Timestamped contact log and free-text notes for office staff

Ministry Volunteer & Scheduling

A public ministry directory where people discover where to serve, and a real scheduling system behind it: leaders review applications, build rotas, and assign roles without a single spreadsheet.

  • Ministry directory grouped by category: liturgical, service, youth, education
  • Applications route straight to the right ministry leader
  • Schedule slots for every role, from Lector to Eucharistic Minister to Usher, by date and Mass
  • Only approved volunteers ever appear as assignable for a slot

Tiered Communications

The end of 'reply-all to the whole parish.' Send to exactly who needs to hear it: one ministry, one category, or everyone, and see delivery status per recipient, not a guess.

  • Whole parish, one ministry, or a named category: your choice per message
  • Ministry leaders can only message their own group, by design
  • Opt-in respected automatically on every single send
  • Per-recipient delivery log: know exactly who got it and who didn't

Data stewardship

Parishioner data belongs to the parish, not us

Every parish is isolated from every other, protected by row-level security at the database level, not just access controls in application code. Built to support compliance with GDPR, PIPEDA, and the other privacy regimes our parishes operate under, wherever they are located.

Technology in service of pastoral care, never a replacement for it.

  • Database-level row security: complete parish isolation
  • GDPR and PIPEDA-aligned by design, wherever your parish is
  • Full data portability and deletion rights on request
  • Parishioner opt-in/opt-out on every communication
  • No parishioner data sold or shared with third parties

No parishioner left behind

The 48-hour contact protocol remains the primary pastoral response.

Youth-led, mission-rooted

Built for the Saint Carlo Acutis Creative Lab model: young parishioners aged 18 to 35 who are missionaries first and technologists second.

Multi-parish SaaS

Each parish gets its own secure space, fully independent with its own roles, data, and settings.

Questions

Everything you were about to ask

Porta Fidei Digitalis is built around Catholic parish workflows: sacraments, worship sites, ministry structure. But the underlying platform (registration, scheduling, communications) works for any parish community that wants the same three things solved well.

No. Registering with the parish is a simple public form, no login, no password required. The people who need accounts are your staff, ministry leaders, and admins; parishioners are contacted directly, the way a parish always has.

Nobody outside your parish. Every parish is isolated at the database level with row-level security, not just application permissions: technically enforced, not just policy.

Your card is billed for the plan you selected, automatically. You'll see the trial end date on your billing page the whole way through, and you can cancel before it ends with no charge.

Yes, any time, from your parish's billing settings. Upgrades and downgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing; cancellation keeps your data intact until the end of your current period.

It's built for parishes internationally, not one country. Data handling is designed to support compliance with GDPR, PIPEDA, and the other privacy regimes that apply wherever your parish is located.
