Communications

It's all about relationships
and reaching people where they are

As a parish grows, it gets harder and harder
to make individual contact with each parishioner

Automated communications provide personalized outreach to every parishioner. They can also prolong the special feelings that follow the reception of a sacrament by reminding individuals, couples, and families about the lasting graces they receive from the sacraments throughout the year.

Streamline and simplify your communications, so that you can focus on the important work of saving souls.
Bring people together.
Parish communications should provide personalized outreach to every member based on their individual interests, needs, and life stage.

Unfortunately, few parishes make the most of today's tools and technology.

In a parish with thousands of members, individual follow-up is time-consuming, costly, and exhausting.

The result is parishioners who feel unwelcome or "on the outside" and remain unengaged.

Thriving Parish provides custom communications tools.

Content is not generic or "canned." It's written just for you to reflect your voice, your mission, and what people really need to know to get involved,  maintain Christ-centered marriages and families, and grow in their faith. 

Better communications build better relationships.
Parishioners like getting emails from their pastors. Each parishioner feels special and connected.

Better relationships lead to increased engagement and a closer connection to the parish community, Christ, and the Church.
