Introducing
GROUPS
Group Messaging Made Simple
Targeted Messaging
Move beyond simple text messages. The new Groups feature allows for targeted messaging for parish staff, educators, and ministry leaders, and group leaders.
Create a group and invite your members. Message the group with the power of push notifications and connect members into a larger discussion. Message replies are added to the conversation and the entire group stays in the know. It’s parish communication made easy.
Meet Maria Perez
Pastoral Associate
Maria has been using Groups for targeted messaging and discussion. She can reach people at anytime, making administration work easier and more organized. The threaded discussion helps Maria with planning, coordination, and collaboration needed when working with the Pastor and Parish Staff. Helping to foster faith life in the parish community just got a little easier for Maria.
Meet Clare Willis
Study Group Leader
Coordinating a study group isn’t always easy. With myParish Groups, Clare can be sure that everyone is on time and prepared with study questions for the weekly lesson or chapter. Clare takes it a step further and keeps the conversation going all week long. Study group members can share thoughts, ask questions and stay connected as they help each other grow in their faith.
Spark Conversation
No one enjoys being talked at. Your parishioners are moving from one-way digital communication to two-way digital conversation.
This is why we have worked so hard to create Group Messaging that gathers all discussion and threads them into a simple forum. Conversations are easy to follow and engages you and your parishioners.
Meet Tom Foley
Youth Minister
Tom knows the youth love their phones. As a youth minister, Tom uses myParish Groups to create conversations that can help kids understand the Gospel and how they can live in light of it. He also relies on the messaging feature to help keep them engaged in the life of the parish. myParish Groups is one of Tom’s most powerful tools.
From Maintenance to Mission
With the myParish App’s Groups feature, you now have an easy way to communicate to just the right people. For parish staffs, that may mean “maintenance” tasks: parent reminders, school and religious education announcements and parish updates. Groups can help ease that load. Yet the mission of every Catholic parish is to bring the Good News to the parish community and beyond. The Groups feature is a tool for all these parts of parish life.
